**[00:18] ---**
Over here!
**[00:25] ---**
Can you hear me?
**[00:35] ---**
Please help!
**[00:39] ---**
Are you all right?
**[00:47] ---**
"Stand My Heroes"
**[01:03] ---**
The brand-new investigation agency that will be
**[01:06] ---**
specializing in unsolved drug-related cases
that have been on the rise lately...
**[01:11] ---**
...AKA "STAND."
**[01:13] ---**
"Drug Control Department: Itsuki Aoyama"
**[01:13] ---**
"Drug Control Department: Itsuki Aoyama"
You are the elite few who have been
chosen to establish this new agency.
**[01:17] ---**
"Same Department: Daisuke Seki"
You are the elite few who have been
chosen to establish this new agency.
**[01:17] ---**
"Same Department: Daisuke Seki"
Ministry of Health, Labour and
Welfare Drug Control Department,
**[01:20] ---**
"Same Department: Daisuke Seki"
and MPD Investigation Section 1.
**[01:22] ---**
I hope you'll both do
your best with this new venture.
**[01:33] ---**
"The History of Drugs"
"Drugs and Fear" "Opium and Asia"
Seki, I expect that you'll be in
charge of scouting other members.
**[01:35] ---**
"Cannabis Control Law" "Behavioral Analysis"
"Addiction and Brain Functions" "Mind-Altering Drugs"
Seki, I expect that you'll be in
charge of scouting other members.
**[01:38] ---**
I'm terribly sorry, but my
current department is fairly new,
**[01:42] ---**
so I don't think I could be
in charge of another section.
**[01:45] ---**
We'll need the best of the
best for STAND's full operation.
**[01:49] ---**
This is a very important role that will require
**[01:52] ---**
someone to scout qualified members of
the police, the DCD, and civilians for STAND,
**[01:57] ---**
regardless of their current assignments.
**[02:00] ---**
Indeed.
**[02:01] ---**
We'd feel much better if you'd accept the job.
**[02:07] ---**
As you can probably tell,
**[02:09] ---**
"Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Satoru Watabe"
As you can probably tell,
**[02:09] ---**
"Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Satoru Watabe"
he's not exactly interested
in moving up the ranks.
**[02:15] ---**
Actually...
**[02:17] ---**
I have the perfect candidate
to act as a scout in my place.
**[02:21] ---**
Rei Izumi?
**[02:23] ---**
Isn't she the agent
that's currently on probation
**[02:27] ---**
because she messed up
the premises check the other day?
**[02:30] ---**
This isn't a job for a useless
newbie that can't even do her job.
**[02:33] ---**
I beg your pardon,
**[02:35] ---**
but she has her own set of beliefs
and the strength to see justice through.
**[02:41] ---**
And most importantly,
**[02:43] ---**
she has a talent that's rather
hard to come by in the DCD.
**[02:47] ---**
I will vouch for her as her mentor.
**[02:51] ---**
She's perfect for the job.
**[03:08] ---**
Good morning!
**[03:11] ---**
Huh?
**[03:17] ---**
Good morning, Rei.
**[03:21] ---**
Congrats on breaking out.
**[03:24] ---**
Breaking out? Really?
**[03:25] ---**
Here. Want some coffee?
**[03:28] ---**
Thank you.
**[03:31] ---**
U-Um...
**[03:32] ---**
"Drug Control Department: Haru Natsume"
**[03:34] ---**
"Drug Control Department: Haru Natsume"
Mr. Seki and Mr. Izumi aren't here yet.
**[03:37] ---**
I'm sure you'd rather get your
lecture out of the way first, but...
**[03:42] ---**
Don't tease her too much, Natsume.
**[03:45] ---**
"Drug Control Department: Shun Imaoji"
**[03:47] ---**
"Drug Control Department: Shun Imaoji"
Good morning.
**[03:50] ---**
Sorry, I gave her your coffee.
**[03:52] ---**
Huh?
**[03:54] ---**
Oh, I'm so sorry! Here!
**[03:56] ---**
No, no. Ladies first.
**[03:59] ---**
You pulled an all-nighter, didn't you?
**[04:01] ---**
Why don't you hold back on
the caffeine and get some sleep?
**[04:04] ---**
Well, I'd rather not sleep at the office...
**[04:07] ---**
"Drug Control Department: Kotaro Yui"
**[04:14] ---**
What happened to him?
**[04:15] ---**
He was saying how he couldn't sleep
when he thinks about you, Izumi.
**[04:20] ---**
Misleading, much?
**[04:22] ---**
Well,
**[04:23] ---**
it's true that he was worried about you
while you were stuck on probation at home.
**[04:28] ---**
And so were we.
**[04:35] ---**
Welcome back.
**[04:36] ---**
How'd the meeting go?
**[04:39] ---**
Oh, well if it isn't Rei.
**[04:42] ---**
Mr. Seki.
**[04:43] ---**
I'm terribly sorry for the trouble I've caused.
**[04:46] ---**
My probation has been lifted as of today.
**[04:49] ---**
Welcome back.
**[04:58] ---**
What's the matter? You look so down.
**[05:01] ---**
Here you go. Everyone's favorite,
a little gift from me.
**[05:06] ---**
How about we have some tea?
**[05:15] ---**
"The Shortcake" from Henri Charpentier.
**[05:18] ---**
You've heard of it, Itsuki?
**[05:20] ---**
It's famous, isn't it?
**[05:22] ---**
You make it sound like I should know this.
**[05:24] ---**
Watabe, don't you need to go back
to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?
**[05:28] ---**
Jeez, you're so cold.
**[05:30] ---**
Did you forget how I helped you
out back there already?
**[05:33] ---**
Would you help me bring out some coffee?
**[05:36] ---**
Of course.
**[05:40] ---**
A new investigation agency
that isn't the police or the DCD...
**[05:44] ---**
STAND?
**[05:46] ---**
I heard rumors about a
super elite team being put together,
**[05:50] ---**
but to think that even civilians
are being considered as candidates...
**[05:53] ---**
How surprising.
**[05:55] ---**
Pretty intense, right?
**[05:58] ---**
About that. Izumi...
**[06:01] ---**
There's a job I'd like you to do.
**[06:04] ---**
Me?
**[06:10] ---**
This is...
**[06:11] ---**
They're candidates for STAND,
which we were just talking about.
**[06:15] ---**
As of today, you've been appointed as their scout.
**[06:19] ---**
Huh?
**[06:20] ---**
What?!
**[06:21] ---**
Oh? That's perfect.
**[06:23] ---**
I wish you could've heard Aoyama
passionately talking about you.
**[06:27] ---**
Everyone's expecting great things from you.
You've got this, Rei.
**[06:30] ---**
Mr. Watabe.
**[06:32] ---**
B-But...
**[06:34] ---**
Don't think you can do it?
**[06:38] ---**
No. I'll do my best!
**[06:41] ---**
I'm counting on you.
**[06:43] ---**
In that case, hurry up and eat.
**[06:44] ---**
Huh?
**[06:46] ---**
Now that you've taken the job,
there's no time to waste.
**[06:48] ---**
I have somewhere to take you.
**[06:50] ---**
You're taking me somewhere?
**[06:53] ---**
Take another look at the list of candidates.
**[06:57] ---**
"Top Secret"
"STand Alone National Department Candidate List"
"Name - Itsuki Aoyama" "Age - 28" "Height - 181 cm"
**[06:58] ---**
"Top Secret"
"STand Alone National Department Candidate List"
"Name - Itsuki Aoyama" "Age - 28" "Height - 181 cm"
I'm not exactly unrelated to this case.
**[07:02] ---**
I'll do everything I can to support you.
**[07:09] ---**
I'm a little worried.
**[07:12] ---**
Not only is she the scout,
but once STAND goes into action,
**[07:15] ---**
she'll be on the front lines
of any related cases, right?
**[07:19] ---**
Being on the front lines of
unsolved cases dealing with drugs...
**[07:23] ---**
That's a pretty rough job for a girl.
**[07:27] ---**
He's already considered all of this.
**[07:29] ---**
Aoyama, that is.
**[07:31] ---**
Even then...
**[07:33] ---**
There's no one more suited for the job than her.
**[07:36] ---**
Right?
**[07:38] ---**
Yui.
**[07:39] ---**
How long have you been awake?
**[07:42] ---**
I mean, Izumi is a super rare case.
**[07:47] ---**
Drugs have no effect on her body.
**[07:51] ---**
She has special drug immunity.
**[08:00] ---**
Stop looking around so much.
**[08:02] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[08:04] ---**
Excuse us.
**[08:09] ---**
Oh, it's Mr. Aoyama and some girl.
**[08:13] ---**
What brings you here?
**[08:14] ---**
Good grief.
**[08:16] ---**
Who gave a narc like you
permission to snoop around here?
**[08:19] ---**
Asagiri.
**[08:21] ---**
I see that you're as
exhausting to look at as ever.
**[08:24] ---**
Look who's talking.
**[08:26] ---**
Okay, you two. That's probably enough.
**[08:32] ---**
So... Is this the girl?
**[08:35] ---**
She is. Izumi, this is Asagiri,
and this is Sugano.
**[08:40] ---**
You saw their names on the list, right?
**[08:42] ---**
They're both candidates for STAND.
**[08:44] ---**
"Investigation Section 1: Natsuki Sugano"
They're both candidates for STAND.
**[08:46] ---**
"Same Section: Tsukasa Asagiri"
**[08:50] ---**
Mr. Hattori's not back yet?
**[08:52] ---**
I'd be more surprised
if he ever came straight back.
**[08:56] ---**
Mr. Hattori?
**[08:58] ---**
He's the chief of this section,
and he'll be directing STAND.
**[09:01] ---**
Huh?
**[09:03] ---**
Yup!
**[09:04] ---**
That's why we, as his subordinates,
are pretty much guaranteed to also be...
**[09:10] ---**
Oh.
**[09:10] ---**
"Investigation Section 1: Sosei Arakida"
Oh.
**[09:11] ---**
"Investigation Section 1: Sosei Arakida"
And here's another candidate.
**[09:15] ---**
Sosei, apparently that girl's
the scout everyone's talking about.
**[09:20] ---**
Sosei?
**[09:23] ---**
Um, I'm Rei Izumi with the DCD.
**[09:27] ---**
I look forward to working with you.
**[09:35] ---**
Sosei...
**[09:39] ---**
Um, please wai--
**[09:45] ---**
Thank--
**[09:45] ---**
Can you properly do your job
as a narc with those shoes?
**[09:49] ---**
This isn't a game.
**[09:53] ---**
I don't have time to help out
someone who can barely do their job.
**[10:05] ---**
I'm really sorry about that.
**[10:06] ---**
Arakida's like that to everyone.
**[10:09] ---**
He's basically a lone wolf.
**[10:15] ---**
Do you want to quit?
**[10:17] ---**
I do not. I decided to do this,
so I'm going to see it through.
**[10:21] ---**
This time, I'll...
**[10:24] ---**
You already paid for
your mistakes from last time.
**[10:28] ---**
You need to move on.
**[10:41] ---**
I got distracted by something else
**[10:43] ---**
"Fukui Pharmacy"
I got distracted by something else
**[10:43] ---**
"Fukui Pharmacy"
and ended up interfering with a premises check.
**[10:46] ---**
and ended up interfering with a premises check.
**[10:47] ---**
That's unthinkable for
an experienced agent to do.
**[10:51] ---**
I couldn't argue with
anything that Mr. Arakida said.
**[10:54] ---**
But I'm also disappointed
in myself because I couldn't.
**[10:59] ---**
Oh, I'm sorry!
**[11:01] ---**
I shouldn't be talking about this at work...
**[11:03] ---**
Please forget what I said!
**[11:06] ---**
Looks like we still have a little bit of time.
**[11:11] ---**
What you did back then wasn't a mistake.
**[11:15] ---**
It was justice.
**[11:16] ---**
And if anything, we know
your dedication to see that through.
**[11:24] ---**
The actions you thought were right might
not be great from another point of view.
**[11:30] ---**
The other side of justice
is another side of justice.
**[11:33] ---**
The other side of justice
is another side of justice?
**[11:38] ---**
That's a saying I learned
when I was still a rookie.
**[11:42] ---**
I engraved that into my heart
**[11:44] ---**
and was prepared to see
my own sense of justice through,
**[11:47] ---**
even if that ended up
seeming evil to someone else.
**[11:51] ---**
That's what this job entails.
**[11:55] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[11:57] ---**
Not to mention, that wasn't your fault.
**[12:01] ---**
I'm sure Mr. Seki told you, as well,
**[12:03] ---**
but if the whole thing was blown
by just a rookie's mistake,
**[12:06] ---**
it was a failure from the start.
**[12:08] ---**
That's not...
**[12:10] ---**
But it is true.
**[12:14] ---**
We're all in the same boat here.
**[12:19] ---**
Right. Thank you very much.
**[12:23] ---**
Shall we?
**[12:24] ---**
Yes.
**[12:31] ---**
I've got this.
**[12:37] ---**
Good morning. Are you on a break?
**[12:41] ---**
I am.
**[12:42] ---**
"The Planet Next Door Is Blue"
I beg your pardon,
**[12:44] ---**
"The Planet Next Door Is Blue"
but I never got to properly
introduce myself yesterday.
**[12:50] ---**
You're in my way.
**[12:54] ---**
Please wait!
**[12:59] ---**
Aw, poor girl.
**[13:01] ---**
She sure seems to be trying hard.
**[13:07] ---**
Mr. Arakida!
**[13:08] ---**
I'm pretty sure you have no business with me.
**[13:11] ---**
Your job as a scout is to
persuade candidates for STAND to join.
**[13:15] ---**
I'm already joining STAND.
**[13:17] ---**
But I'm going to keep
my distance from you. That's all.
**[13:21] ---**
If you understand, stop following me around.
**[13:25] ---**
I want to see this job through!
**[13:28] ---**
And for that to happen,
I'm sure I'm going to need help
**[13:31] ---**
from everyone in Investigation Section 1.
**[13:34] ---**
That's why I'd like you
to properly acknowledge me.
**[13:38] ---**
I heard that you have a strange condition.
**[13:41] ---**
Huh?
**[13:43] ---**
A rookie that got to join on an exemption
**[13:45] ---**
because her body is immune to certain drugs.
**[13:48] ---**
Do you know what everyone says about you?
**[13:52] ---**
That you're like a princess that
needs protection from everyone.
**[13:57] ---**
If that's true, then I can't acknowledge you.
**[14:06] ---**
Oh? Are you the Little Miss Narc
that everyone keeps talking about?
**[14:11] ---**
"Little Miss Narc"?
**[14:17] ---**
Thanks for the coffee.
**[14:19] ---**
"Investigation Section 1: You Hattori"
**[14:26] ---**
Are you wondering,
"Why did I have to buy this guy coffee?"
**[14:30] ---**
Oh, of course not.
**[14:32] ---**
It's written all over your face.
**[14:34] ---**
You're rather easy to read.
**[14:36] ---**
So, what do you think about Sosei?
You think you'll be able to tame him?
**[14:40] ---**
T-Tame him?
**[14:43] ---**
You basically need to be a lion tamer
to tame him though, Little Miss Narc.
**[14:50] ---**
A lion tamer?
**[14:52] ---**
They're strict towards themselves
as well as others, yet still kind.
**[14:56] ---**
That's why they might seem mean.
**[14:59] ---**
Are you going to give up?
**[15:01] ---**
No!
**[15:02] ---**
I see. I'm glad you're enthusiastic.
**[15:06] ---**
Let me give you a little lecture
to thank you for the coffee.
**[15:10] ---**
Huh?
**[15:11] ---**
Have you decided which
STAND candidate to pursue first?
**[15:27] ---**
I really don't feel like I belong here.
**[15:32] ---**
But this is where...
**[15:35] ---**
Who is this?
**[15:36] ---**
The man who sits at the top of one of
**[15:38] ---**
Japan's most prominent financial groups,
the Hiyama Group, Takaomi Hiyama.
**[15:42] ---**
He's a huge celebrity!
**[15:44] ---**
Well, this celebrity happens
to have another side to him.
**[15:50] ---**
There's a highly efficient
group of informants, consisting of
**[15:53] ---**
four celebrity members with
Hiyama at its center, called Revel.
**[15:57] ---**
Informants?
**[15:58] ---**
I'm pretty sure things will be a little easier
**[16:01] ---**
if you can manage to convince them to join you.
**[16:03] ---**
You know what they say.
**[16:04] ---**
"Those who control the
information control something or other."
**[16:08] ---**
Would I even be able to meet him, though?
**[16:10] ---**
I think you will,
as long as you know where to go.
**[16:14] ---**
Like where?
**[16:17] ---**
For example...
**[16:18] ---**
"The Hiyama Group to Hold a Gala on a
Yacht to Commemorate Their New Business"
A gala, maybe?
**[16:27] ---**
There he is.
**[16:28] ---**
"Revel: Takaomi Hiyama"
**[16:35] ---**
Mr. Kujo!
**[16:38] ---**
I'm sorry about that. Are you all right?
**[16:42] ---**
Yes. I apologize, as well.
**[16:45] ---**
Get her a new outfit immediately.
**[16:47] ---**
Oh no, I'm totally fine.
You can barely even tell.
**[16:50] ---**
But...
**[16:52] ---**
I'm sorry that I wasn't more careful.
**[16:57] ---**
If you ever need anything,
please contact this number.
**[17:01] ---**
Now, if you'll excuse me.
**[17:08] ---**
Here you are.
**[17:10] ---**
Th-Thank you very much.
**[17:17] ---**
Izumi?
**[17:18] ---**
Mr. Aoyama?
**[17:20] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[17:23] ---**
I came to see one of the
STAND candidates named Mr. Hiyama.
**[17:27] ---**
What brings you here? I thought you
were working on a different case today.
**[17:32] ---**
Did you say anything to that man just now?
**[17:35] ---**
Huh? Not really. I just almost bumped
into him... He gave me his business card.
**[17:39] ---**
"Executive Director"
**[17:41] ---**
"Executive Director"
Kujo?
**[17:42] ---**
Wait, no way!
**[17:45] ---**
"Top Secret"
"STand Alone National Department Candidate List"
"Name - Soma Kujo" "Age - 30" "Height - 179 cm"
He's another STAND candidate?
**[17:49] ---**
"Head of the Kujo Family: Soma Kujo"
**[17:52] ---**
There are some dark rumors involving him.
**[17:55] ---**
Don't go near him on your own.
**[18:22] ---**
A fire?
**[18:24] ---**
Mr. Hiyama!
**[18:25] ---**
This way!
**[18:27] ---**
Mr. Arakida?
**[18:28] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[18:30] ---**
Wha--
**[18:31] ---**
Where's the client?
**[18:33] ---**
Sosei has him secured.
**[18:34] ---**
But a different problem just showed up.
**[18:37] ---**
Looks like he ran into the DCD.
**[18:39] ---**
What?!
**[18:41] ---**
What do you think you're doing?!
**[18:42] ---**
That's my line.
**[18:44] ---**
What's going on here?
**[18:47] ---**
They're my bodyguards.
**[18:50] ---**
A few days ago, there was a death
threat sent to the Hiyama Group.
**[18:55] ---**
A death threat? But why?
**[18:58] ---**
It's not hard to make enemies when
your side business is selling information.
**[19:04] ---**
This might also be the work of
the person who sent the death threat.
**[19:09] ---**
Just make sure you don't get in the way.
**[19:21] ---**
Hold it!
**[19:22] ---**
Hey!
**[19:23] ---**
Izumi! That idiot!
**[20:04] ---**
Have a nice little nap.
**[20:07] ---**
Chloroform?
**[20:16] ---**
Damn it!
**[20:18] ---**
Who the hell are you?
**[20:20] ---**
Why you--
**[20:26] ---**
Mr. Arakida.
**[20:32] ---**
I've got the suspect.
**[20:35] ---**
Izumi!
**[20:37] ---**
Mr. Aoyama!
**[20:38] ---**
Are you all right?
**[20:39] ---**
Yes.
**[20:40] ---**
How's Mr. Hiyama?
**[20:41] ---**
He's fine.
**[20:43] ---**
Thank goodness.
**[20:55] ---**
Hello?
**[20:56] ---**
The suspect has been caught,
and Mr. Hiyama is safe.
**[20:59] ---**
Glad to hear it.
**[21:01] ---**
Did you know about this, You?
The fact that she'd be on this ship.
**[21:06] ---**
"She"?
**[21:07] ---**
Rei Izumi.
**[21:09] ---**
Sounds like you changed your tone a bit.
**[21:12] ---**
So you did put her up to this.
**[21:14] ---**
Well, that Little Miss Narc
seems interesting, doesn't she?
**[21:18] ---**
Well? Feel like being friends yet?
**[21:20] ---**
Stop that.
**[21:23] ---**
It's just...
**[21:25] ---**
She's so reckless that I can't bear to watch.
**[21:29] ---**
So you're going to help her out?
**[21:32] ---**
Sure.
**[21:37] ---**
My feet that had lost their heels looked
so mismatched with my one piece dress.
**[21:43] ---**
I honestly looked a bit absurd.
**[21:48] ---**
My battered feet, my messy hair...
**[21:52] ---**
I must look absolutely awful right now.
**[22:01] ---**
But for some reason,
**[22:03] ---**
I felt rather proud about that.
**[22:08] ---**
I felt like I could do my best again tomorrow.
**[22:10] ---**
Like someone had given me a gentle push.
**[23:48] ---**
Ah... So that's the princess
who has the special drug immunity.
**[23:55] ---**
Hello?
**[23:57] ---**
Yup. Hiyama's fine.
**[24:00] ---**
More importantly,
I found someone really interesting.

**[00:23] ---**
Here.
**[00:25] ---**
Th-Thank you.
**[00:30] ---**
You okay?
**[00:32] ---**
Do you need a ride?
**[00:33] ---**
I'm fine. I'm waiting for someone anyway.
**[00:37] ---**
Are you waiting for a fellow narc? Or a cop?
**[00:42] ---**
You're Revel's--
**[00:44] ---**
You can call me Hatori, Rei Izumi.
**[00:52] ---**
"Stand My Heroes"
**[02:21] ---**
You're in a good mood, Hatori.
**[02:23] ---**
"Revel: Hatori Otani"
I had a nice little encounter.
**[02:27] ---**
"Revel: Aki Kagura"
Again? Must be nice to be so carefree.
**[02:29] ---**
I told you about her, right?
About that interesting girl I found.
**[02:33] ---**
I'll introduce you to her next time, Maki.
**[02:35] ---**
"Revel: Keita Maki"
**[02:37] ---**
"Revel: Keita Maki"
Don't bother.
**[02:45] ---**
We're back.
**[02:46] ---**
Hello.
**[02:48] ---**
Izumi!
**[02:50] ---**
You cut your hair?!
**[02:52] ---**
Where's the hair that you cut off?
You didn't throw it away, did you?!
**[02:55] ---**
Huh?
**[02:57] ---**
You threw it away?
**[02:59] ---**
H-How could you...
**[03:03] ---**
What's with him?
**[03:04] ---**
Looks like he wanted her hair.
**[03:07] ---**
It would've been an
important sample to figure out
**[03:10] ---**
the secret behind your special drug immunity!
**[03:12] ---**
I can't believe you threw it away...
**[03:18] ---**
We finished our report to Section 1.
**[03:21] ---**
Good work. Sounds like
you had a rough time, Izumi.
**[03:25] ---**
I'm sorry that I worried you.
**[03:28] ---**
But thankfully, it seems
that my condition saved me.
**[03:32] ---**
So now we know chloroform
doesn't work on Izumi.
**[03:37] ---**
But your hair...
**[03:40] ---**
I-I'm sorry...
**[03:41] ---**
You don't need to apologize.
**[03:44] ---**
Yes, you look rather nice.
**[03:47] ---**
And you've changed your shoes.
**[03:49] ---**
Yes. I had a lot to think about.
**[03:53] ---**
Then no one really has the right to complain.
**[03:56] ---**
Now, then. I have a little present for you, Rei.
**[03:59] ---**
Today, I brought an assortment of
Dry Cakes from Ginza West.
**[04:02] ---**
Wow! Thank you very much!
**[04:06] ---**
Do you have time right now?
**[04:07] ---**
Oh... I'm sorry. I'll have some later.
**[04:11] ---**
Be careful.
**[04:13] ---**
Where's she off to?
**[04:15] ---**
Apparently, she's got a date with a celebrity.
**[04:17] ---**
What?!
**[04:20] ---**
You said that you were still thinking
about if you'd join STAND or not.
**[04:24] ---**
So why are you helping me out today?
**[04:27] ---**
Because I wanted to help you out... I think.
**[04:31] ---**
You look nice with short hair, Rei.
**[04:33] ---**
But wasn't your researcher
boyfriend a bit upset?
**[04:37] ---**
Exactly how much do you know, Hatori?
**[04:40] ---**
Who knows? How much do
you happen to know about Revel?
**[04:45] ---**
Hatori Otani.
**[04:47] ---**
President of the IT Company, H&O Holdings.
**[04:51] ---**
A truly gifted president that managed
**[04:53] ---**
to make his company one
of the best companies in Japan
**[04:56] ---**
in just a year after it was established.
**[04:58] ---**
Keita Maki.
**[05:00] ---**
The vice president of operations
for the toymaker, M-toys.
**[05:04] ---**
He's the second son of
the president, Junichi Maki,
**[05:07] ---**
and created countless hit products.
**[05:10] ---**
Aki Kagura.
**[05:12] ---**
Currently a possible candidate
**[05:13] ---**
to be the next director of the
popular apparel company, Flayage.
**[05:16] ---**
He's also currently working
as a fashion designer.
**[05:22] ---**
And the leader of Revel is...
**[05:28] ---**
Thanks for the other day.
**[05:31] ---**
Takaomi Hiyama.
**[05:32] ---**
The president of Hiyama Realty,
**[05:35] ---**
and he also stands at the top of
the world-renowned Hiyama Group.
**[05:38] ---**
A real estate mogul who was able to
not only overcome the economic crisis that
**[05:41] ---**
happened in the past, but that also
strengthened his influence in the industry.
**[05:46] ---**
So you're basically asking
if Revel will join STAND.
**[05:51] ---**
Yes.
**[05:53] ---**
STAND is a revolutionary
investigation agency like no other.
**[05:57] ---**
Without the usual boundaries
an organization may have,
**[05:59] ---**
I'm sure it'll lead to
these cases being solved--
**[06:00] ---**
I understand how important this is.
**[06:02] ---**
But I have an emergency meeting to attend to.
**[06:06] ---**
I'm hoping we can stop here for today.
**[06:08] ---**
--Huh?
--You got it.
**[06:10] ---**
Let's go, Rei.
**[06:26] ---**
Hatori.
**[06:28] ---**
Oh, so you were here.
**[06:30] ---**
Hiyama apparently has some meeting to go to.
**[06:33] ---**
That's what the receptionist just told us.
**[06:35] ---**
Is this the person you
were talking about, Hatori?
**[06:38] ---**
Yup! This is her.
**[06:40] ---**
You're about to head to the usual place, right?
**[06:42] ---**
We'll go with you.
**[06:43] ---**
What?! You're planning
on bringing her along?
**[06:46] ---**
Well, let's go.
**[06:48] ---**
Wait... Hatori!
**[06:51] ---**
"Kanto-Shinetsu Regional Bureau
of Health and Welfare DCD"
"Narcotics Agent Rei Izumi"
**[06:51] ---**
"Kanto-Shinetsu Regional Bureau
of Health and Welfare DCD"
"Narcotics Agent Rei Izumi"
A narc named Rei Izumi came to scout us.
**[06:56] ---**
It appears that they're
finally making their move, Kujo.
**[06:59] ---**
I see.
**[07:01] ---**
It doesn't appear that
she's caught on to our connection.
**[07:04] ---**
I'll contact you if anything else happens.
**[07:06] ---**
Right. I'll talk to you later.
**[07:11] ---**
STAND, huh?
**[07:23] ---**
What's wrong?
**[07:26] ---**
I've never been anywhere like this.
Is everyone here a celebrity?
**[07:31] ---**
Celebrity?
**[07:33] ---**
Who knows?
**[07:34] ---**
You should probably ask Maki
since he's good at remembering people.
**[07:40] ---**
That's the president of Wakaba
Trading Company and his subordinates.
**[07:42] ---**
That's the music producer Hanabusa.
**[07:45] ---**
That's the model Kanako.
**[07:48] ---**
That's enough, isn't it?
**[07:49] ---**
Wow! You really do know a lot of people!
**[07:54] ---**
Hey! Could you not act so friendly with Kei?
**[07:58] ---**
Now, now. Don't snap at her.
**[08:02] ---**
Want a sip?
**[08:03] ---**
It's good.
**[08:05] ---**
Sorry, but I'm on the job... Is that champagne?
**[08:09] ---**
Yup, Grand Cru. It's a vintage from 1996.
**[08:13] ---**
It costs about 500,000 yen.
**[08:14] ---**
500--
**[08:15] ---**
Hey!
**[08:17] ---**
Be more careful!
**[08:18] ---**
--I'm sorry!
--It's fine. She didn't even hit you.
**[08:22] ---**
It'd be too late if she did!
**[08:24] ---**
Yeah, yeah.
**[08:25] ---**
Wouldn't want to damage our famous
designer's trade tools, now would we?
**[08:28] ---**
Shut your mouth, Hatori.
**[08:30] ---**
I'm really sorry.
I'll be more careful next time.
**[08:34] ---**
There won't be a next time.
**[08:37] ---**
Um, I'm Izumi from the
Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's
**[08:42] ---**
Drug Control Department.
**[08:43] ---**
I was hoping that I could have
a word with all of you today...
**[08:46] ---**
I'm not interested.
**[08:47] ---**
It wouldn't hurt to hear her out, would it?
**[08:54] ---**
You have some special drug immunity, don't you?
**[08:58] ---**
If you show me that drugs
really have no effect on you,
**[09:01] ---**
I wouldn't mind hearing you out.
**[09:04] ---**
Here.
**[09:09] ---**
Kagura...
**[09:11] ---**
What kind of drug is it?
**[09:13] ---**
Who knows? Why not back out if you're scared?
**[09:34] ---**
Now will you listen to me?
**[09:38] ---**
You lose, Kagura.
**[09:41] ---**
How stupid.
**[09:43] ---**
Huh? But you said...
**[09:49] ---**
Sorry about that.
**[09:52] ---**
That was just a vitamin pill.
**[10:08] ---**
I'm pretty sure you realize this,
but you went too far.
**[10:13] ---**
That girl is definitely going to be a pain.
**[10:15] ---**
You should be careful, too, Kei.
**[10:17] ---**
You don't need to worry.
**[10:19] ---**
I don't plan on letting
anyone else get involved with me.
**[10:23] ---**
You still have that.
**[10:26] ---**
I could make you a new one.
**[10:28] ---**
No, this one's fine.
**[10:41] ---**
I just turned the corner.
**[10:43] ---**
Now keep walking straight.
**[10:46] ---**
You had dinner plans for two, didn't you?
**[10:49] ---**
Are you sure you don't mind me joining you?
**[10:50] ---**
Oh, it's totally fine.
**[10:53] ---**
You there yet? It's a place called A Bientot.
**[10:56] ---**
Oh, yes.
**[10:58] ---**
By the way, I won't be there.
**[11:00] ---**
What?! Hatori, wait--
**[11:06] ---**
Why...
**[11:10] ---**
I'm sorry for imposing.
**[11:12] ---**
It's fine.
**[11:14] ---**
S-So...
**[11:16] ---**
I heard that everyone in Revel has known
each other ever since you were students.
**[11:20] ---**
Aki and I are childhood friends.
**[11:23] ---**
We've known the other two since high school.
**[11:26] ---**
So you began working as informants...
**[11:28] ---**
That started in college.
**[11:31] ---**
The three of them got started in that
business and I somehow got dragged in.
**[11:35] ---**
Dragged in?
**[11:37] ---**
That's how it always is for me.
Same thing happened this time.
**[11:43] ---**
So you don't have to worry about it.
**[11:49] ---**
Why don't you eat?
**[11:50] ---**
Oh, right! Thank you very much.
**[11:56] ---**
It's delicious!
**[12:06] ---**
We should probably head out.
**[12:07] ---**
Oh, then I'll go pay my bill.
**[12:09] ---**
It's already been taken care of.
**[12:10] ---**
Huh?! But--
**[12:13] ---**
Don't worry about it. Put that away.
**[12:16] ---**
In that case...
**[12:22] ---**
"Super Ice"
**[12:22] ---**
"Super Ice"
I'm sorry that this isn't much of a thank you.
**[12:24] ---**
It's fine.
**[12:27] ---**
I've never had ice cream like this.
**[12:29] ---**
Really?!
**[12:31] ---**
You're way too surprised.
**[12:33] ---**
You're so kind, Mr. Maki.
**[12:35] ---**
Huh? Where'd that come from?
**[12:38] ---**
I felt that when we were eating dinner, too.
**[12:41] ---**
That you're someone
who's truly kind and caring.
**[12:46] ---**
Could you actually consider joining STAND?
**[12:53] ---**
Kind... huh?
**[12:56] ---**
I'm sure that you're a good person,
**[12:59] ---**
but I'd rather you not get
involved with me anymore.
**[13:03] ---**
I don't want any trouble.
**[13:09] ---**
What?! You went to dinner with her?
**[13:12] ---**
There was nothing I could do.
**[13:13] ---**
Honestly, Hatori...
**[13:17] ---**
Aw, he's all mad now.
**[13:21] ---**
So, how'd your date with her go?
**[13:25] ---**
She's so weird.
**[13:28] ---**
She's weird, but a good person.
**[13:45] ---**
Hey, Rei.
**[13:47] ---**
Good evening. Um, is Mr. Maki--
**[13:53] ---**
Kei!
**[13:55] ---**
What the hell do you think you're doing?!
**[14:00] ---**
Maki!
**[14:02] ---**
Mr. Maki?
**[14:06] ---**
Go.
**[14:10] ---**
Damn it.
**[14:13] ---**
Maki, you go cool off.
**[14:18] ---**
Mr. Maki...
**[14:21] ---**
Guess he did it again.
**[14:23] ---**
Again? What do you mean?
**[14:26] ---**
Ow...
**[14:30] ---**
Mr. Kagura, your hand!
**[14:31] ---**
Don't! This doesn't concern you.
**[14:34] ---**
Pardon me!
**[14:35] ---**
Hey--
**[14:36] ---**
The cut doesn't look that deep,
but we should go to the hospital just in case.
**[15:04] ---**
I see.
**[15:05] ---**
I'd heard that Keita Maki had been
involved in some incidents that resulted in
**[15:10] ---**
some injuries before from my buddy
at the Community Safety Division, but...
**[15:14] ---**
I don't really understand.
**[15:20] ---**
But I do know that I want to believe in him.
**[15:24] ---**
Then just keep thinking
about it until you're satisfied.
**[15:27] ---**
Huh?
**[15:29] ---**
At least, that's what I think.
**[15:42] ---**
"Aki Kagura"
**[15:50] ---**
"Aki Kagura"
**[15:58] ---**
"Aki Kagura"
**[16:03] ---**
Hello?
**[16:04] ---**
I'm sorry for contacting you
so suddenly. This is Izumi.
**[16:07] ---**
Hatori gave me your number...
**[16:09] ---**
More importantly, watch where you're going.
**[16:12] ---**
Huh?
**[16:16] ---**
Mr. Kagura?!
**[16:19] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[16:21] ---**
It's child's play to find out where you live.
**[16:23] ---**
Wha...
**[16:25] ---**
Hey, could you not get any wrong ideas?
**[16:28] ---**
I just came to return this.
**[16:31] ---**
Oh. Wait, two of them?
**[16:34] ---**
You can just have both.
My wound ended up light, so, um...
**[16:40] ---**
Are you trying to thank me?
**[16:43] ---**
Why do you look so surprised?
**[16:45] ---**
No, I'm not! Thank you very much.
**[16:50] ---**
So, what were you calling me for?
**[16:54] ---**
It's about Mr. Maki...
**[16:57] ---**
I was hoping that you could
tell me what happened that day.
**[17:04] ---**
That guy put his hands on me first.
**[17:07] ---**
I got knocked back while we were
arguing and then this happened.
**[17:10] ---**
Then he did that for your sake?
**[17:15] ---**
Kei is really kind.
**[17:21] ---**
Why don't you ask him about the rest?
**[17:23] ---**
Huh?
**[17:28] ---**
But isn't it closed?
**[17:30] ---**
You never stop talking, do you?
Just shut up and follow me.
**[17:36] ---**
Oh, looks like your friend is here now, too.
**[17:43] ---**
What are you doing here?!
**[17:45] ---**
Oh, you know. My neck
still hurts from being strangled.
**[17:49] ---**
You mind paying for my hospital fees?
**[17:52] ---**
I heard you guys are from rich families.
**[17:55] ---**
You wouldn't want any
trouble then, would you?
**[17:59] ---**
How much do you want?
**[18:01] ---**
Kei?!
**[18:02] ---**
Wow, you catch on quick.
**[18:05] ---**
Stop!
**[18:06] ---**
Yeah, yeah. Mind your own business!
**[18:08] ---**
Hey--
**[18:16] ---**
Whoops.
**[18:17] ---**
Whoopsie, sorry about that, girlie.
**[18:20] ---**
You okay?
**[18:22] ---**
What the hell are you doing?
**[18:29] ---**
How dare you...
**[18:31] ---**
Apologize to them!
**[18:34] ---**
Apologize!
**[18:37] ---**
Mr. Maki!
**[18:39] ---**
It's okay! We're fine!
**[18:55] ---**
Where's Kei?
**[18:56] ---**
Over there.
**[19:01] ---**
You're not gonna get mad?
**[19:03] ---**
Kei's trigger is whenever something
or someone important to him gets hurt.
**[19:10] ---**
I'm not sure about her, but...
**[19:14] ---**
...I'll let this slide for today.
**[19:17] ---**
"Ice Cream"
"Super Ice Cream" "Vanilla"
**[19:18] ---**
"Ice Cream"
"Super Ice Cream" "Vanilla"
Are you sure you don't want one?
It's really good.
**[19:22] ---**
Are you okay?
**[19:25] ---**
It's just a scratch. Thank you again.
**[19:29] ---**
All I did was lose control.
**[19:32] ---**
No, you were trying to protect us.
**[19:35] ---**
You really are a kind person, Mr. Maki.
**[19:38] ---**
"Ice Cream"
"Super Ice Cream" "Vanilla"
**[19:38] ---**
"Ice Cream"
"Super Ice Cream" "Vanilla"
You still think that...
**[19:41] ---**
Have you ever heard of the incident
called the "Anonymous Case"?
**[19:44] ---**
No.
**[19:45] ---**
It's an unsolved case from 15 years ago.
**[19:49] ---**
It's called that because they found a victim
that had died a very suspicious death,
**[19:53] ---**
and they went unidentified for six months.
**[19:55] ---**
While suspect was on the run,
they had kidnapped a child.
**[20:08] ---**
Don't tell me that child was...
**[20:11] ---**
It was you, Mr. Maki?
**[20:12] ---**
I never want to go through
anything like that again
**[20:15] ---**
or let anyone else go through it.
**[20:17] ---**
But I end up going berserk when I get angry.
**[20:19] ---**
I want to protect the people around me,
but I just cause trouble for them.
**[20:23] ---**
I'm sick of that.
**[20:26] ---**
So please, don't get involved with me.
**[20:29] ---**
Trouble... I don't think
anyone sees it that way.
**[20:35] ---**
Mr. Kagura, Hatori, and even Mr. Hiyama...
**[20:39] ---**
You're important to all of them.
**[20:42] ---**
You got mad for the same reason, didn't you?
**[20:47] ---**
There's no way they'd abandon you.
**[20:51] ---**
The same goes for me.
**[20:53] ---**
If you're going to try to face
the part of yourself that you dislike,
**[20:58] ---**
I think they'd want to stand by
your side and help you do it.
**[21:02] ---**
Even if you can't do it alone,
if you have your friends, I'm sure you could.
**[21:08] ---**
Let me ask you again. Will you help out STAND?
**[21:14] ---**
Despite knowing what true fear is,
**[21:15] ---**
you still have the kindness to protect others...
**[21:19] ---**
And I believe in that.
**[21:24] ---**
You don't have to speak so formally with me.
**[21:26] ---**
What?
**[21:27] ---**
I don't like it when people
are too proper with me.
**[21:30] ---**
Does that mean...
**[21:32] ---**
I don't know if I'm joining STAND yet...
**[21:36] ---**
But I'll think about it.
**[21:41] ---**
Thanks.
**[21:43] ---**
"I'm sick of that. So please,
don't get involved with me."
**[21:46] ---**
That made my heart heavy.
**[21:50] ---**
I'm sure that there was a lot of pain
**[21:55] ---**
within his overly kind heart.
I could barely stand it.
**[22:01] ---**
But his smile when he said,
"Thanks," was unbelievably kind.
**[23:40] ---**
I heard you helped out my friends. Thank you.
**[23:44] ---**
It's nothing.
**[23:46] ---**
I'll look into joining STAND a little more,
**[23:48] ---**
but I don't think I'll be able
to help you out immediately.
**[23:51] ---**
But in return...

**[00:22] ---**
Hello.
**[00:24] ---**
What showed up?
**[00:26] ---**
It's your job to figure that out, isn't it?
**[00:30] ---**
I didn't call you out here for a field trip.
**[00:34] ---**
Is that it?
**[00:37] ---**
I've never seen this drug before.
**[00:39] ---**
I wonder if it's a new kind.
**[00:42] ---**
What happened to the owner?
**[00:43] ---**
He was arrested last night
after going berserk downtown.
**[00:47] ---**
If you want to talk to him,
go ahead and go to the precinct.
**[00:50] ---**
I can go.
**[00:52] ---**
Thanks.
**[00:55] ---**
We'll have to have Kotaro take a look at this.
**[01:04] ---**
"Stand My Heroes"
**[02:33] ---**
"Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo"
**[02:34] ---**
"Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo"
You managed to get Mr. Hiyama to
introduce you to the next STAND candidate?
**[02:38] ---**
Not bad.
**[02:41] ---**
A best-selling author, huh?
Must be nice having celebrity connections.
**[02:46] ---**
You're coming with me this time, right, Sugano?
**[02:49] ---**
Sorry!
**[02:50] ---**
Huh?
**[02:51] ---**
I've got a bunch of reports
I have to do piled up.
**[02:54] ---**
So could you maybe ask someone else?
**[03:00] ---**
What about one of the narc guys?
**[03:02] ---**
They've been busy all morning on a
different case where a man was arrested
**[03:05] ---**
in possession of a new kind of drug.
**[03:09] ---**
I think Mr. Asagiri was
covering the case on your end.
**[03:11] ---**
Oh, that... Then why not go by yourself?
**[03:15] ---**
What else can you do?
**[03:16] ---**
But Mr. Aoyama said I should bring someone
with me at least for the introduction.
**[03:21] ---**
Oh?
**[03:22] ---**
Mr. Hattori.
**[03:24] ---**
Makoto Tsuzuki, eh?
**[03:27] ---**
Isn't he the "God of
Tear-jerker Novels," or something?
**[03:30] ---**
If I recall correctly...
**[03:31] ---**
Weren't you a fan of his, Sosei?
**[03:33] ---**
"The Planet Next Door Is Blue"
"Makoto Tsuzuki"
N-No...
**[03:37] ---**
Um...
**[03:39] ---**
I must say that I didn't picture you
to be a fan of books like that.
**[03:42] ---**
Shut up.
**[03:43] ---**
S-Sorry.
**[03:46] ---**
Um, I've been wondering...
**[03:50] ---**
Mr. Tsuzuki is the genius
novelist who keeps writing
**[03:54] ---**
one hit after another
despite how young he is, right?
**[03:59] ---**
His younger brother, Kyosuke,
who's a popular young actor,
**[04:03] ---**
is also another STAND candidate.
**[04:07] ---**
Do the police regularly ask novelists and
actors to aide them in their investigations?
**[04:14] ---**
One of STAND's goals includes
**[04:15] ---**
trying to look into new ways of solving cases
that were never considered before.
**[04:20] ---**
Actors are one thing, but with Mr. Tsuzuki--
**[04:25] ---**
They're considering Makoto Tsuzuki
as a suspect profiling advisor.
**[04:30] ---**
Profiling?
**[04:32] ---**
Oh, right. Mr. Tsuzuki used to
write crime fiction books, didn't he?
**[04:37] ---**
Yeah, to the point that he's being considered
**[04:40] ---**
a reliable reference to the police.
**[04:42] ---**
Then it'd be great
if he's willing to help us out.
**[04:46] ---**
Calm down. This isn't a game.
**[04:49] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[04:51] ---**
Not to mention, we don't
know how reliable he'll be.
**[04:55] ---**
You looked into how many series
he's currently writing, right?
**[04:59] ---**
"Is the Popular Novelist
Considering Retirement?!"
But I think I saw in some tabloids lately
that he's possibly considering retirement.
**[05:06] ---**
What kind of idiot actually believes
what's written in the tabloids?
**[05:09] ---**
Oh, right.
**[05:11] ---**
You were planning to meet him
with unreliable information like that?
**[05:16] ---**
This isn't a game.
**[05:17] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[05:20] ---**
He seems scarier than usual.
**[05:25] ---**
Um, my name is Izumi, and I have
an appointment with Mr. Makoto Tsuzuki.
**[05:30] ---**
We've been expecting you. Please go ahead.
**[05:37] ---**
Yes?
**[05:39] ---**
Hello, my name is Izumi.
I'm here on Mr. Hiyama's referral.
**[05:48] ---**
"Novelist: Makoto Tsuzuki"
**[05:49] ---**
"Novelist: Makoto Tsuzuki"
I'm Makoto Tsuzuki.
**[05:53] ---**
Basically,
**[05:55] ---**
we were hoping we could
ask you to assist us with
**[05:58] ---**
your exceptional observation skills
and ability to read people.
**[06:02] ---**
I'm sure you'd need some time to think this over,
**[06:06] ---**
--but if you could--
**[06:07] ---**
--That's enough.
--but if you could--
**[06:07] ---**
--That's enough.
--Huh?
**[06:08] ---**
I said, that's enough.
**[06:11] ---**
That sounds absolutely dull and plebeian
**[06:13] ---**
to the point that it's discouraging.
It's unthinkable.
**[06:16] ---**
And if you're trying to say that
something so stereotypical is my skill,
**[06:21] ---**
I can only imagine what
you're going to say next.
**[06:25] ---**
I'm sorry to make you come all this way,
**[06:28] ---**
but I'd like you to leave now.
**[06:29] ---**
M-Mr. Arakida!
**[06:35] ---**
Um...
**[06:36] ---**
If I have somehow insulted you
in any way, I'm terribly sorry.
**[06:42] ---**
But I can't leave knowing
that I've insulted you.
**[06:46] ---**
Could you consider hearing me out again?
**[06:51] ---**
There are two reasons
I can't take on this request.
**[06:53] ---**
The first is work-related.
Right now, I'm rather busy.
**[06:58] ---**
Due to certain reasons, I'm thinking
about ending all of my current series.
**[07:03] ---**
Since I'm planning
to quit due to personal reasons,
**[07:05] ---**
I need to do everything I can to ensure that
**[07:08] ---**
I can come up with endings that
my readers will be satisfied with.
**[07:12] ---**
I have no time to take on a side job right now.
**[07:15] ---**
The second reason is rather personal.
**[07:19] ---**
I don't trust narcs.
**[07:22] ---**
I believe they're incompetent.
**[07:27] ---**
As long as narcs are involved in this
**[07:29] ---**
I have absolutely no intention of cooperating.
**[07:33] ---**
You're not supposed to look so
blatantly disappointed in front of him.
**[07:38] ---**
I'm sorry. But after he was so blunt
about how he felt, I couldn't hide my shock.
**[07:45] ---**
Yet you were still audacious enough to say,
**[07:47] ---**
"I'll be back again," and gave him documents.
**[07:51] ---**
So he's going to end his series...
**[07:55] ---**
So what if he does?
**[07:57] ---**
It's work. If it became too personal,
he'd probably keep seesawing back and forth.
**[08:03] ---**
Right...
**[08:09] ---**
These are the drugs we confiscated.
**[08:12] ---**
We questioned the man who
had these, and according to him
**[08:16] ---**
these drugs are safe
because they aren't addictive.
**[08:19] ---**
Wha? He can't be serious.
**[08:22] ---**
Where'd they come from?
**[08:24] ---**
He refused to tell us.
**[08:26] ---**
Kotaro.
**[08:28] ---**
How's the component analysis going?
**[08:29] ---**
It's going. There was one thing
that concerned me though.
**[08:33] ---**
This drug has very similar components
to another drug in our database.
**[08:40] ---**
It was commonly known as "Plus."
**[08:42] ---**
It made the rounds ten-odd years ago.
**[08:48] ---**
What kind of drug is it?
**[08:50] ---**
That's unknown.
**[08:51] ---**
Wait, what?
**[08:53] ---**
All we had were the results
of its component analysis.
**[08:56] ---**
That itself was incomplete
and insufficient data.
**[08:59] ---**
There might be more detailed
information kept elsewhere.
**[09:06] ---**
All right.
**[09:08] ---**
Yui, continue analyzing the drug.
**[09:12] ---**
Natsume, could you take another
look through the database?
**[09:16] ---**
What?
**[09:17] ---**
Carefully search through
the whole database to make sure
**[09:19] ---**
there isn't any other
information concerning Plus.
**[09:21] ---**
But that's insane...
**[09:23] ---**
Kotaro couldn't find any more info, could he?
**[09:26] ---**
You're a firm believer in getting off
from work on time, correct?
**[09:29] ---**
Then we're going to work you as hard
as a racehorse while you're on the clock.
**[09:33] ---**
Hey!
**[09:35] ---**
Um...
**[09:36] ---**
Isn't there anything I can do to help?
**[09:40] ---**
Your scouting duties should be your priority.
**[09:46] ---**
Izumi.
**[09:49] ---**
Scouting Makoto Tsuzuki didn't go so well?
**[09:53] ---**
It wasn't the best encounter.
**[09:56] ---**
Sorry I haven't been able
to help you out lately.
**[09:59] ---**
Oh, no!
**[10:00] ---**
I'm fine. Mr. Arakida was even
kind enough to call me audacious!
**[10:05] ---**
I'll keep doing my best!
**[10:19] ---**
You had no right to decide that on your own!
**[10:21] ---**
I had every right.
**[10:23] ---**
Why are you always so...
**[10:26] ---**
Fine!
**[10:33] ---**
Ah...
**[10:34] ---**
So you're the one that left those
STAND documents with him.
**[10:39] ---**
Must be cool, being a narc.
**[10:41] ---**
Thanks!
**[10:43] ---**
Don't be so nervous, Miss Rei.
**[10:46] ---**

**[10:48] ---**

You can just call me Kyosuke.
**[10:50] ---**
"Actor: Kyosuke Tsuzuki"
Don't be too distant with me, okay?
**[10:53] ---**
Wait, did I creep you out?
**[10:55] ---**
Oh, no! It's just that you
seem nothing like your brother.
**[11:01] ---**
I get that all the time.
My brother's talented, after all.
**[11:04] ---**
No, that's not what I meant!
**[11:06] ---**
I know. My bad.
**[11:09] ---**
Sorry for what you saw earlier
**[11:12] ---**
and to make you hold off
on seeing my brother again.
**[11:15] ---**
It's fine...
**[11:17] ---**
It's not like he was going to
welcome me with open arms anyway.
**[11:22] ---**
So my brother's novel *Being In
Love In the Center of the World*...
**[11:27] ---**
There are plans to make
a live-action drama of it.
**[11:29] ---**
I got offered the leading role.
**[11:32] ---**
That's amazing.
**[11:33] ---**
But my brother refused to
let it get adapted into a drama.
**[11:37] ---**
Really?
**[11:38] ---**
Apparently, it's because he's
planning on ending all of his series,
**[11:41] ---**
so he wasn't thinking about
having any adaptations made.
**[11:44] ---**
But he declined so quickly that
I got pissed off and went off on him.
**[11:50] ---**
So you really wanted to do that role.
**[11:52] ---**
Of course.
**[11:54] ---**
It's not like offers to star in one of
my brother's works come around every day.
**[11:59] ---**
But he didn't even discuss it with me.
**[12:03] ---**
There's obvious concern
about him ending his books,
**[12:07] ---**
but he just keeps telling me
not to worry about it.
**[12:09] ---**
I'm his brother. Of course, I'm going to worry.
**[12:14] ---**
You two must be very close.
**[12:16] ---**
Yeah.
**[12:18] ---**
We have a really special bond as siblings.

**[14:00] ---**
It's fine. I mean, it surprised me, but...
**[14:03] ---**
It's not like we were trying to hide her.
**[14:08] ---**
I guess she already went
to sleep for the day. Too bad.

help us at all back then.

You don't need to apologize, Miss Rei.

It's just... It might be hard to convince
my brother to join you guys.

He's not the type to ask for help,
and he's able to do most things on his own.

**[17:57] ---**
Until then, could you...
**[17:59] ---**
Of course.
**[18:00] ---**
Is there anything else I should do?
**[18:02] ---**
Um... Today's Thursday, right?
**[18:06] ---**
He might get a visit from his publisher...
**[18:10] ---**
Sorry about this...
**[18:27] ---**
"To Tokyo Literary Publishing"
**[18:28] ---**
"To Tokyo Literary Publishing"
This must be it.
**[18:44] ---**
This is...
**[18:52] ---**
Makoto!
**[18:54] ---**
Thank goodness!
**[18:56] ---**
Sorry for coming in without permission.
**[18:58] ---**
I did contact Kyosuke though.
**[19:01] ---**
What time is it right now?
**[19:03] ---**
Oh, don't worry about your manuscript.
**[19:06] ---**
I handed it over to your publisher.
**[19:10] ---**
Um... Why did you push yourself this much?
**[19:13] ---**
That doesn't concern you.
**[19:16] ---**
Kyosuke was worried about you, too.
**[19:18] ---**
He mentioned that you wouldn't discuss
anything about your work with him.
**[19:23] ---**
He looked really sad about that.
**[19:26] ---**
But you're not actually going to quit, are you?
**[19:29] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[19:31] ---**
When I went into your office,
I accidentally saw your computer.
**[19:34] ---**
Oh! I didn't read it that carefully, though!
**[19:37] ---**
But you read it?
**[19:38] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[19:40] ---**
It doesn't matter. It's not like
it's something that shouldn't be read.
**[19:45] ---**
It seemed rather different
from the rest of your work.
**[19:50] ---**
Of course, it is.
**[19:51] ---**
It's an adventure novel for kids.
**[19:54] ---**
For kids?
**[19:56] ---**
I'm sure that's not what
society wants from me though.
**[20:02] ---**
The truth is I wanted to write
something like that for a long time.
**[20:05] ---**
To write something I want to write,
not something I'm forced to write.
**[20:10] ---**
Because when we were kids,
they would smile at my stories.
**[20:13] ---**
They told me how much they liked them.
**[20:16] ---**
"The Hero and his friends
began their adventure."
**[20:17] ---**
Every time I wrote anything, it was for them.
**[20:23] ---**
So you're just like Kyosuke.
**[20:26] ---**
You love Kyosuke and Sara very much.
**[20:30] ---**
Of course, I do.
**[20:32] ---**
Nothing is more important
to me than those two.
**[20:40] ---**
My brother actually said that...
**[20:43] ---**
Yes.
**[20:45] ---**
I think this is the first time
I've seen him asleep in a while.
**[20:49] ---**
Even though we were always
together when we were little.
**[20:53] ---**
This takes me back.
**[20:55] ---**
My sister and I were obsessed
with the stories my brother would write.
**[20:59] ---**
They were the most important
thing to us, and we loved them.
**[21:08] ---**
You idiot.
**[21:15] ---**
Are you sure? Do you want me to make
something he can eat when he wakes up?
**[21:18] ---**
Don't worry about it. He prefers
sweets over something nutritious.
**[21:23] ---**
Okay... Well, take care.
**[21:26] ---**
Yup, thanks.
**[21:27] ---**
Could you tell Makoto to not
worry about STAND for now?
**[21:33] ---**
I think he wants you and Sara to be able
to read that book as soon as possible.
**[21:39] ---**
I think you somehow keep seeing
the most embarrassing sides of us.
**[21:43] ---**
How lame.
**[21:46] ---**
There's nothing lame about a boy
who cares so much about his older brother.
**[21:52] ---**
That slightly embarrassed smile you showed me
**[21:55] ---**
almost resembled a child.
**[21:57] ---**
You really don't look like your brother
**[22:00] ---**
who always has such obstinate expression.
**[22:03] ---**
But his tender fingertips and his kind smile
**[22:03] ---**
"The Hero's Adventure"
But his tender fingertips and his kind smile
**[22:05] ---**
But his tender fingertips and his kind smile
**[22:09] ---**
were just as beautiful
as the worlds he creates.
**[22:09] ---**
"The Hero's Adventure"
"Makoto Tsuzuki"
were just as beautiful
as the worlds he creates.
**[22:14] ---**
"The Hero's Adventure"
"Makoto Tsuzuki"
**[23:46] ---**
Well, I'll be going now.
**[23:52] ---**
Kyosuke?
**[23:53] ---**
Miss Rei, why not choose me?
**[23:56] ---**
Huh?
**[23:58] ---**
I'm one of the candidates
you're supposed to scout, right?
**[24:01] ---**
Can't it be me?
**[24:03] ---**
Huh?

**[00:17] ---**
I'm one of the candidates
you're supposed to scout, right?
**[00:20] ---**
Can't it be me?
**[00:22] ---**
Huh?
**[00:26] ---**
Are you able to take
the weekends off, Miss Rei?
**[00:29] ---**
Yes, usually.
**[00:31] ---**
Um, if you'd like a better explanation of STAND,
**[00:34] ---**
I can just go along with your schedule.
**[00:36] ---**
I can always make time.
**[00:37] ---**
There's no point if you're not off, too.
**[00:40] ---**
I'm asking you out on a date.
**[00:42] ---**
Oh, it's just a date...
**[00:46] ---**
What?!
**[00:47] ---**
Go out on a date with me, Miss Rei.
**[00:55] ---**
"Stand My Heroes"
**[02:22] ---**
Come on in!
**[02:23] ---**
Thanks for waiting.
**[02:27] ---**
All right, the beers are here.
**[02:35] ---**
And some *shochu* for Rei.
**[02:37] ---**
Thanks!
**[02:38] ---**
Really? You're starting off with *shochu*?
**[02:40] ---**
Uh... Why not?
**[02:43] ---**
Why are you still holding that, Mr. Aoyama?
**[02:46] ---**
I wanted to get some ideas
on presentation... Er, never mind.
**[02:52] ---**
Does everyone have their drinks?
**[02:55] ---**
Good work, everyone.
**[02:56] ---**
Cheers!
**[03:00] ---**
How's Mr. Tsuzuki doing?
**[03:04] ---**
I heard he's doing fine now.
Apparently it was overwork.
**[03:08] ---**
You take care of people,
and you're getting the hang of being a scout.
**[03:13] ---**
That's my Izumi.
**[03:15] ---**
Yui, stop playing with the drinks.
**[03:18] ---**
I'll have you know that this is an experiment.
**[03:21] ---**
Okay and done.
**[03:22] ---**
Wait, me?
**[03:26] ---**
STAND already acquired Section 1, right?
**[03:29] ---**
Mr. Watabe, Mr. Asagiri,
Mr. Arakida, and Sugano, was it?
**[03:34] ---**
You've also made contact with all 4 members
of Revel and the Tsuzuki brothers.
**[03:39] ---**
And you've gained the trust
of a handful of them.
**[03:43] ---**
That's a decent pace.
**[03:48] ---**
Thank you...?
**[03:58] ---**
You're holding off on scouting
Makoto Tsuzuki for now, right?
**[04:02] ---**
I guess we can try other candidates for now.
**[04:05] ---**
What about his younger brother?
**[04:06] ---**
This is his little brother, right?
**[04:09] ---**
The super popular young actor Kyosuke Tsuzuki.
His nickname is Kyon-*kun*.
**[04:13] ---**
Ah, isn't he also known as the Ratings Prince?
**[04:18] ---**
You've already made contact with him, right?
**[04:22] ---**
Izumi?
**[04:23] ---**
Do celebrities usually
contact you throughout the day
**[04:28] ---**
and invite you to go out to eat?
**[04:31] ---**
What?
**[04:32] ---**
Wait... Is he hitting on you?!
**[04:35] ---**
No, I think he's just teasing me.
**[04:37] ---**
Don't be fooled! He's after that body of yours!
**[04:41] ---**
Wouldn't that be you, Kotaro?
**[04:43] ---**
Who would actually try
to put their hands on Rei?
**[04:46] ---**
No, this actually worries me.
**[04:49] ---**
Rei is a lovely young lady.
**[04:51] ---**
He's a celebrity that definitely
knows what he's doing.
**[04:54] ---**
Even if Rei has no intention of
it being so, before you know it...
**[04:58] ---**
Izumi.
**[05:00] ---**
My buddy from the Community Safety Division
has a good self-defense spray.
**[05:04] ---**
I'll get one from him right away,
so make sure you're never alone with him.
**[05:08] ---**
Okay, Dad.
**[05:10] ---**
Don't. That actually gets to Mr. Seki.
**[05:13] ---**
If he's coming at you that hard,
does that mean he's agreed to join STAND?
**[05:18] ---**
Well...
**[05:19] ---**
He wouldn't agree to join
because he thought I'd refuse to go
**[05:23] ---**
on any more dates with him if he did.
**[05:25] ---**
So why not just date the guy already?
**[05:27] ---**
You can't be serious!
**[05:29] ---**
Don't let that actually get to you.
**[05:31] ---**
How many men do you plan
on dating while being a scout?
**[05:36] ---**
Now, now.
**[05:37] ---**
Don't worry.
**[05:38] ---**
If anything actually happens, we'll save you.
**[05:41] ---**
At least Itsuki or Shun will.
**[05:44] ---**
Responsibility diverted.
**[05:45] ---**
Well, don't.
**[05:52] ---**
"Scoop! Confessions from the Popular Author!!"
"Makoto Tsuzuki Denies Retirement"
**[05:52] ---**
"Scoop! Confessions from the Popular Author!!"
"Makoto Tsuzuki Denies Retirement"
Oh, an article on Makoto.
**[05:54] ---**
Oh, an article on Makoto.
**[05:55] ---**
What's your problem?
Don't just come in without saying anything!
**[05:58] ---**
I said I was coming in.
**[06:01] ---**
I'm glad he actually announced it.
**[06:04] ---**
Like it matters to me.
**[06:05] ---**
Oh, come on.
**[06:07] ---**
You've been grinning
at that article since yesterday.
**[06:12] ---**
Shut up. Don't make me throw you.
**[06:17] ---**
Mr. Asagiri.
**[06:19] ---**
I was asked to deliver this.
**[06:20] ---**
Running errands in between your scouting duties?
**[06:23] ---**
Everyone's pretty busy because of that drug.
**[06:26] ---**
Must be rough.
**[06:28] ---**
Oh, if you haven't eaten yet,
wanna get some lunch?
**[06:31] ---**
I was just about to take a break anyway.
**[06:34] ---**
Natsuki, you still owe me a report.
**[06:37] ---**
Uh oh.
**[06:38] ---**
If you're hungry, I'll give you one
of my beloved instant noodles.
**[06:39] ---**
"Instant *Yakisoba*"
"Melon Soda Flavor"
If you're hungry, I'll give you one
of my beloved instant noodles.
**[06:41] ---**
Now, have a seat.
**[06:43] ---**
Thanks...
**[06:45] ---**
I'll be going now.
**[06:55] ---**
Thanks.
**[07:06] ---**
Izumi.
**[07:07] ---**
Maki! It's rare for you to show up here.
**[07:10] ---**
I'm covering for Hatori.
**[07:11] ---**
Are you heading home?
**[07:13] ---**
Yup.
**[07:14] ---**
Perfect timing then.
**[07:21] ---**
Miss Rei.
**[07:26] ---**
Kyosuke?
**[07:28] ---**
Did I surprise you? My brother's
not Revel's only client, you know?
**[07:33] ---**
Just kidding.
**[07:35] ---**
I just asked Kei about you.
**[07:37] ---**
Oh, that's what he meant by perfect timing...
**[07:41] ---**
You keep declining through our messages,
so I came to ask you out in person.
**[07:45] ---**
You're off tomorrow, right?
**[07:47] ---**
Got any plans yet?
**[07:49] ---**
I, uh...
**[07:51] ---**
Sara's birthday is coming up.
**[07:54] ---**
I wanted you to help me pick out a gift.
**[07:56] ---**
No?
**[08:00] ---**
If that's the case...
**[08:12] ---**
There're a lot of people here.
Are you going to be okay?
**[08:16] ---**
Don't worry. People rarely
see through my disguise.
**[08:19] ---**
Let's go!
**[08:46] ---**
I was able to pick out a
perfect present thanks to you.
**[08:48] ---**
I'm glad I could help.
**[08:51] ---**
Look over there, Miss Rei.
**[08:55] ---**
Those look great!
**[08:57] ---**
Let's have one together.
**[09:00] ---**
What?
**[09:01] ---**
You just look like you're having so much fun.
**[09:05] ---**
I am. We're on a date, after all.
**[09:08] ---**
I was hoping you'd step
a little out of work mode...
**[09:15] ---**
I think I did.
**[09:17] ---**
I haven't had this much fun in a while.
**[09:20] ---**
Really? Yes!
**[09:22] ---**
Hey, doesn't that look like him?
**[09:25] ---**
Is that actually Kyon-*kun*?!
**[09:27] ---**
Crap... Let's bail!
**[09:33] ---**
Man, that made me panic.
**[09:35] ---**
Sorry to make you run like that.
**[09:38] ---**
It's okay. That was a close one.
**[09:41] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:42] ---**
I could almost see the
"Steamy Love Affair!" headline.
**[09:48] ---**
Though I wouldn't mind if
the headline involved you, Miss Rei.
**[09:52] ---**
There you go teasing me again.
**[09:54] ---**
You're a tough one, Miss Rei.
I'm being pretty serious here.
**[09:59] ---**
Seriously, if you don't stop...
**[10:01] ---**
Would you prefer my brother?
**[10:04] ---**
Y-Your brother is a STAND candidate...
**[10:08] ---**
But so are you, Kyosuke.
**[10:10] ---**
Right.
**[10:13] ---**
But as soon as my brother joins STAND,
even you'll forget all about me.
**[10:21] ---**
But I might just join immediately
if you say, "I like you, Kyosuke."
**[10:28] ---**
I won't say that!
**[10:30] ---**
Aw...
**[10:34] ---**
Hey, hey.
**[10:36] ---**
Your favorite Mr. Watabe's
brought you some tasty treats again!
**[10:44] ---**
Uh... what?
**[10:48] ---**
So you're all busy trying to get more
information on this mystery drug.
**[10:54] ---**
We still don't know what it is
or where it's coming from.
**[10:58] ---**
Kotaro's still running a component analysis,
**[11:01] ---**
and Natsume's looking into
"Plus" since it was so similar.
**[11:05] ---**
Come to think of it, where is he?
**[11:08] ---**
Maybe he went to wash his face.
**[11:10] ---**
By the looks of it, he stayed overnight.
**[11:14] ---**
Looks like you've got your hands full.
**[11:16] ---**
I haven't been able to help at all...
**[11:20] ---**
You've been busy with your own work, Izumi.
**[11:22] ---**
He keeps messing with you
because you're too nice.
**[11:26] ---**
Wait, what's this about?
**[11:28] ---**
Apparently Kyosuke Tsuzuki
keeps asking her out on dates.
**[11:32] ---**
Oh, but they're not really dates...
**[11:35] ---**
Oh? First some socialites and now an actor...
**[11:39] ---**
Pretty smooth, Rei.
**[11:41] ---**
Seriously--
**[11:42] ---**
We figured it out.
**[11:44] ---**
I've got the component analysis
for the drugs that were brought in.
**[11:47] ---**
Not only is it similar to Plus
that circulated 15 years ago...
**[11:50] ---**
...it *is* Plus.
**[11:58] ---**
I thought the component
analysis data on Plus was incomplete.
**[12:02] ---**
Natsume can explain that.
**[12:05] ---**
I did some digging but came up empty,
so I got some documents from the MPD.
**[12:10] ---**
I'll need those docs back, since
I'm going to be setting them on fire later.
**[12:14] ---**
Does that mean...
**[12:16] ---**
Not bad, Natsume.
**[12:18] ---**
Honestly...
**[12:19] ---**
You can scold me later.
**[12:21] ---**
The problem was the state of
the component analysis results.
**[12:27] ---**
Can you imagine?
**[12:28] ---**
Hidden deep within top secret files.
**[12:30] ---**
It was being kept as data
that only a select few from
**[12:35] ---**
a certain agency even had access to.
**[12:39] ---**
It was STAND.
**[12:40] ---**
Huh?
**[12:41] ---**
STAND?
**[12:43] ---**
The security was pretty tight,
**[12:44] ---**
so I just barely managed
to get the component analysis out.
**[12:47] ---**
I'm pretty sure that this means that Plus is
**[12:50] ---**
involved in some cases
that STAND will be dealing with.
**[12:53] ---**
Did you know about this, Mr. Seki?
**[12:56] ---**
No...
**[12:59] ---**
It's strange that anyone would have any
drug-related data other than the DCD.
**[13:04] ---**
Not to mention it was top secret.
Something's fishy.
**[13:08] ---**
I'm just speculating here,
**[13:11] ---**
but STAND may have ulterior motives
that we're not aware of.
**[13:17] ---**
For now, Aoyama and I will deal with this.
**[13:21] ---**
We managed to make some progress
in finding out about this drug.
**[13:25] ---**
Aoyama and Imaoji, hurry up and
find out where they're coming from.
**[13:29] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[13:30] ---**
Yui and Natsume, find out all the information
you can on this drug as well as Plus.
**[13:37] ---**
Roger.
**[13:41] ---**
Please excuse me a moment.
**[13:43] ---**
Hello, Kyosuke?
**[13:45] ---**
Miss Rei! My brother...
**[13:47] ---**
He was taken by the police!
**[13:49] ---**
What?
**[13:54] ---**
He went with them voluntarily to be questioned?
**[13:58] ---**
Thank goodness.
**[14:00] ---**
I thought he might've been arrested.
**[14:01] ---**
Sorry... I panicked.
**[14:04] ---**
It's all right. I don't blame you.
**[14:06] ---**
Have you seen Makoto since?
**[14:10] ---**
The police had sent him
summons to go to the station,
**[14:12] ---**
but apparently he'd been ignoring them.
**[14:15] ---**
If he had declined again,
**[14:16] ---**
they were going to issue a warrant on
suspicion of concealing or destroying evidence.
**[14:22] ---**
Meaning he might've been
hiding evidence? For what?
**[14:26] ---**
They wouldn't tell me,
**[14:28] ---**
but judging by the conversation
the detectives were having,
**[14:31] ---**
they mentioned an
Anonymous something or other...
**[14:34] ---**
Anonymous?
**[14:36] ---**
Could it be the "Anonymous Case"?
Is Makoto involved in that?
**[14:40] ---**
I have no idea.
I've never heard of a case like that.
**[14:45] ---**
But...
**[14:47] ---**
There's no way my brother did anything bad.
**[14:51] ---**
He's always done what's right.
**[14:55] ---**
I'm proud to have him as a brother.
**[15:00] ---**
I never stood a chance against him.
**[15:03] ---**
He was the son my parents were proud of.
**[15:05] ---**
Everyone I've ever liked always
ended up liking my brother in the end.
**[15:11] ---**
Kyosuke...
**[15:14] ---**
What am I even talking about?
**[15:17] ---**
Sorry to bring that up at a time like this.
**[15:19] ---**
I like you, Kyosuke.
**[15:24] ---**
You're very charming.
**[15:28] ---**
Charming? Me?
**[15:30] ---**
Yeah.
**[15:34] ---**
I see.
**[15:36] ---**
I don't know everything that's going on,
**[15:39] ---**
but I'll look into this, too.
**[15:43] ---**
Thanks, Miss Rei.
**[15:46] ---**
Yes, I'm heading back now. Thanks.
**[15:54] ---**
Hello, this is Izumi.
**[15:56] ---**
I heard Tsuzuki was taken by the police.
**[16:00] ---**
So you already heard.
**[16:02] ---**
I heard they were questioning him
about the Anonymous Case.
**[16:06] ---**
Um...
**[16:07] ---**
Don't worry about me.
**[16:09] ---**
We're looking into this matter, too,
**[16:12] ---**
though we won't be asking
the police about it directly.
**[16:16] ---**
Makoto will be out soon, right?
**[16:19] ---**
If it's just a standard questioning,
they shouldn't hold him for days, but...
**[16:25] ---**
Those brothers are headed
for some serious trouble.
**[16:35] ---**
What's wrong?

That's so shocking!
**[16:51] ---**
There has been no formal word from the police,

"Will his brother's drama be okay?"
"What if more stuff comes to light?"
There has been no formal word from the police,
**[16:53] ---**
"I'm sure it'll still air if his brother is cleared.
But it'll definitely be affected.
The ratings might actually go up."

Speaking of Mr. Tsuzuki,

isn't his younger brother
currently working as an actor?

This will probably affect his brother's work.

**[17:41] ---**
My, my. Listen to that sigh.
**[17:44] ---**
They sure aren't holding back on Mr. Tsuzuki.
**[17:48] ---**
Nothing really big is
going on otherwise, either.
**[17:51] ---**
Are you worried?
**[17:52] ---**
Of course not.
**[17:53] ---**
Huh... So I guess the one you
are worried about is Little Miss Narc.
**[17:57] ---**
She might be rather depressed
right now since she's so nice.
**[18:03] ---**
I guess you're on her side now, too, Sosei.
**[18:05] ---**
How surprising.
**[18:10] ---**
It's not like I've actually acknowledged her.
**[18:23] ---**
Welcome back. How did it go?
**[18:26] ---**
I looked into a few leads
but didn't find out any more details.
**[18:30] ---**
I couldn't find out why he was
looking into the Anonymous Case
**[18:35] ---**
or how else he's involved.
**[18:37] ---**
I see.
**[18:39] ---**
It's rather strange that there
haven't been any other details.
**[18:42] ---**
So either Section 1 has a gag order on them...
**[18:46] ---**
Or only a select few
from Section 1 know about it.
**[18:50] ---**
That's what Revel thought, too.
**[18:53] ---**
I asked them if there's anything we could
do about all the negative comments...
**[18:58] ---**
But for now, they said
they'd just have to deal with it.
**[19:01] ---**
You should probably get some rest, Rei.
**[19:04] ---**
You look a bit pale.
**[19:06] ---**
I'm fine. You're returning
that to the library, right?
**[19:09] ---**
I'll take them for you.
**[19:11] ---**
Calm down.
**[19:13] ---**
No good will come out of you panicking.
**[19:18] ---**
Rei, there's about to be a press conference
**[19:20] ---**
with Kyosuke Tsuzuki.
**[19:24] ---**
I'm very sorry for all of
the trouble this has caused.
**[19:31] ---**
As my agency has already announced,
**[19:34] ---**
the reports of my brother, Makoto Tsuzuki,
being arrested are a mistake.
**[19:39] ---**
My brother is fully cooperating
with the police and their questioning.
**[19:45] ---**
I can't talk about why he's being
**[19:47] ---**
questioned because
it'll affect their investigation...
**[19:50] ---**
Is he really just being questioned?
**[19:52] ---**
Isn't it possible that he became
interested in committing a crime himself
**[19:56] ---**
after writing all of those crime fiction novels?
**[19:59] ---**
Isn't it possible that your brother
**[20:01] ---**
was involved in a crime,
and you just had no idea?
**[20:05] ---**
No.
**[20:06] ---**
I believe in my brother.
**[20:09] ---**
He's a bit awkward, but he loves his family,
**[20:12] ---**
and I'm proud to call him my brother.
**[20:17] ---**
Rei?
**[20:19] ---**
I'm sorry. I need to go.
**[20:26] ---**
What brings you here?
**[20:28] ---**
I came here regarding Makoto Tsuzuki.
**[20:31] ---**
The media is reporting
that Makoto was arrested.
**[20:36] ---**
The press is being rather ruthless
with both Makoto and Kyosuke.
**[20:40] ---**
There's so much speculation going
around that it's getting out of control.
**[20:43] ---**
Is there any way you could at least
announce that he wasn't arrested?
**[20:48] ---**
I know that I may be out of line,
but those two are suffering right now
**[20:52] ---**
from the awful treatment they're getting.
**[20:54] ---**
--So please--
--Ms. Izumi.
**[20:56] ---**
Please!
**[21:03] ---**
There's nothing more to talk about.
**[21:05] ---**
You don't get a say in this, Little Miss Narc.
**[21:11] ---**
This is our job.
**[21:13] ---**
Your job?
**[21:15] ---**
Right, as in...
**[21:17] ---**
This is STAND's job.
**[21:20] ---**
Though it's publicly known
as Section 1's investigation.
**[21:24] ---**
It's actually STAND
that's holding him right now.
**[21:27] ---**
But why...
**[21:29] ---**
Why didn't I tell you?
**[21:32] ---**
Isn't it obvious?
**[21:33] ---**
You're nothing more than a scout.
**[21:36] ---**
You're an outsider.
**[21:43] ---**
The sound of the cold rain fills my ears.
**[21:47] ---**
The path that I progressed upon
slowly was shattered with a single word.
**[21:54] ---**
If the guidepost I had seen off in the distance
**[21:57] ---**
and the light within
my heart were mere illusions...
**[22:02] ---**
Hey.
**[22:09] ---**
Where am I supposed to go?

**[00:48] ---**
You're nothing more than a scout.
**[00:50] ---**
You're an outsider.
**[00:58] ---**
I know that Mr. Hattori is correct.
**[01:03] ---**
At some point I started thinking that
**[01:06] ---**
I could also actually help STAND myself.
**[01:11] ---**
I thought that I could help
since my body is resistant to drugs.
**[01:21] ---**
You're doing your best.
**[01:24] ---**
I believe that you're earnest and sincere.
**[01:27] ---**
But... You're still naïve.
**[01:31] ---**
Even if you were in STAND right now,
you'd just be a burden.
**[01:54] ---**
"Stand My Heroes"
**[03:27] ---**
I heard that Rei's scouting
duties have been put on hold.
**[03:32] ---**
Yeah.
**[03:33] ---**
I got a notification this morning.
**[03:36] ---**
From now on, the higher-ups will be
in charge of scouting for STAND.
**[03:41] ---**
She was ordered to go back to her
normal duties until there's a new candidate.
**[03:45] ---**
Did you tell her?
**[03:47] ---**
I did.
**[03:49] ---**
She just smiled and said to give her all
**[03:51] ---**
the work she hadn't been able to do lately.
**[03:54] ---**
How noble.
**[03:57] ---**
Well, if that's the case,
maybe I'll ask her out on a date.
**[04:01] ---**
I'll even use some PTO.
**[04:03] ---**
Think about your age. Why don't you head home?
**[04:07] ---**
Aw, don't get so mad.
**[04:09] ---**
Jeez, Dad.
**[04:12] ---**
I'm not your father.
**[04:17] ---**
So her scouting duties have been put on hold...
**[04:19] ---**
She must've done something.
**[04:21] ---**
If it has anything to do with her going
to the MPD yesterday, I feel responsible.
**[04:27] ---**
Maybe I should've stopped her.
**[04:31] ---**
But she seems to be doing okay.
**[04:34] ---**
I thought she'd be more obviously down.
**[04:38] ---**
Are you two completely blind?!
**[04:42] ---**
Look!
**[04:43] ---**
Her shoulders are bent forward
six more degrees than usual.
**[04:46] ---**
The sides of her mouth are also
2.2 millimeters lower than usual,
**[04:49] ---**
and her conjunctiva are slightly bloodshot.
**[04:52] ---**
Curse you... What if Izumi's DNA
makeup changes from emotional stress?!
**[04:58] ---**
What if her hair falls out?!
**[05:01] ---**
Could you not be such a weirdo?
**[05:06] ---**
To think that you'd ever bother
to give me a call about work...
**[05:10] ---**
What brought this on, Asagiri?
**[05:13] ---**
Don't worry. My feelings towards
you haven't changed one bit.
**[05:19] ---**
What a coincidence.
We apparently agree on something.
**[05:23] ---**
How is she doing?
**[05:25] ---**
Why are you asking me? Ask her yourself.
**[05:31] ---**
So this was your department's doing.
**[05:34] ---**
We're just doing our job.
**[05:38] ---**
Then what are you so worried about?
**[05:41] ---**
Even she understands that.
**[05:43] ---**
I'm not worried about it.
**[05:46] ---**
You're her mentor, aren't you?
**[05:48] ---**
You're the one who's
supposed to worry about her.
**[05:50] ---**
What?
**[06:12] ---**
It's time to wrap up work.
**[06:14] ---**
Oh, right. I'm just going
to finish this up really quick.
**[06:17] ---**
Hurry up and head home before they get to you.
**[06:22] ---**
Is everyone able to leave now?
**[06:23] ---**
I'll go ahead and make the reservation.
**[06:26] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[06:28] ---**
Should we invite Mr. Watabe, too?
**[06:31] ---**
Yeah, sure.
**[06:35] ---**
Don't push yourself.
**[06:37] ---**
No matter how much you
try to hide how you're feeling,
**[06:41] ---**
your real feelings aren't going to go away.
**[06:45] ---**
You're not going to be able to move
forward unless you let them all out.
**[06:56] ---**
Um...
**[06:57] ---**
Go on. I'm listening.
**[07:02] ---**
It's rough... Not being able to do anything.
**[07:07] ---**
I couldn't do anything about Makoto
**[07:11] ---**
or even help Kyosuke out.
**[07:15] ---**
I may have this unique condition,
but it doesn't even matter.
**[07:19] ---**
Mr. Arakida completely saw through me.
**[07:23] ---**
Everyone was just being nice to me,
and I was totally oblivious.
**[07:28] ---**
At this rate, I really am just a burden.
**[07:30] ---**
I'm so pathetic that it's embarrassing.
**[07:39] ---**
I-I'm sorry. I've said too much.
**[07:44] ---**
But my heart doesn't feel as heavy now.
**[07:47] ---**
Thank you very much for listening.
**[07:50] ---**
Rei!
**[07:52] ---**
You done with work yet?
**[07:53] ---**
Oh, s--
**[07:57] ---**
She's not here.
**[07:59] ---**
Wha? But...
**[08:00] ---**
She's not here.
**[08:04] ---**
Then I guess it's just us tonight.
**[08:07] ---**
Sounds like it. Let's go.
**[08:09] ---**
Come on. Hurry up, Kotaro.
**[08:12] ---**
Right.
**[08:16] ---**
Um...
**[08:17] ---**
If you actually wanted to go, I apologize.
**[08:19] ---**
If we actually went to drink with them,
**[08:22] ---**
I couldn't guarantee to get you home tonight.
**[08:25] ---**
Huh?
**[08:33] ---**
What are you doing? Hurry up and come in.
**[08:35] ---**
B-But it's pretty late...
**[08:38] ---**
I shouldn't be at an
unmarried gentleman's house...
**[08:40] ---**
Make sure you lock the door.
**[08:48] ---**
Wow...
**[08:50] ---**
This place is amazing.
**[08:53] ---**
Are you hungry?
**[08:54] ---**
Huh?
**[08:55] ---**
Actually, yes, I sort of am...
**[08:58] ---**
Guess I'll whip something up.
**[09:06] ---**
Um... Did you really
make all of this, Mr. Aoyama?
**[09:10] ---**
You even arranged everything
in such a beautiful way.
**[09:13] ---**
Don't mention this at work. Got it?
**[09:21] ---**
It's so good!
**[09:23] ---**
Even these sides are delicious!
**[09:28] ---**
Thank you for going through all this trouble.
**[09:31] ---**
Go ahead and eat up.
**[09:33] ---**
There's something I want to show
you once you're done eating.
**[09:36] ---**
Huh?
**[09:37] ---**
You're not actually thinking I only
brought you here to cheer you up, are you?
**[09:51] ---**
These documents...
**[09:52] ---**
They're just things I gathered
through my own research.
**[09:55] ---**
About an incident where people
were harmed due to a drug.
**[09:57] ---**
Harmed?
**[09:59] ---**
There was a pharmaceutical
company manufacturing a new drug.
**[10:04] ---**
But it was never completed
**[10:08] ---**
because there were problems
during the clinical testing.
**[10:12] ---**
There were participants in the clinical test
**[10:15] ---**
who experienced sudden side effects.
**[10:18] ---**
Dizziness, nausea, and even seizures.
**[10:24] ---**
There were that many terrible side effects?
**[10:26] ---**
The pharmaceutical company acted too late,
**[10:30] ---**
and the victim list grew as one
incident happened after another.
**[10:35] ---**
This happened 16 years ago.
**[10:38] ---**
"2 Die in a Traffic Collision"
"Two Cars Involved in an Early Morning Crash"
**[10:39] ---**
"No Sign of Braking Before Crash"
"The Driver Was Found Unconscious"
**[10:42] ---**
Sixteen years ago?
**[10:50] ---**
Then were those two car accidents...
**[10:55] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[10:56] ---**
Sixteen years ago,
Kyosuke and Makoto's little sister
**[11:00] ---**
was involved in a car accident.
**[11:02] ---**
Apparently the driver was
using some kind of drug.
**[11:07] ---**
I also encountered a
major accident 16 years ago.
**[11:13] ---**
A car had crashed into a nature park.
**[11:18] ---**
The Amusement Park in the Forest.
**[11:20] ---**
Yes. Part of that nature park had
a little amusement park called that.
**[11:25] ---**
I'm very aware of that incident.
**[11:30] ---**
Mr. Aoyama.
**[11:34] ---**
Why are you looking into this
drug-related incident on your own?
**[11:40] ---**
Because the Aoyama Trading Company,
my father's company,
**[11:45] ---**
was involved in the funding of that new drug.
**[11:49] ---**
Aoyama Trading Company?
**[11:52] ---**
That huge... Wait, does that mean you're...
**[11:56] ---**
"Aoyama Trading Company"
You're the son of...
**[11:58] ---**
"Aoyama Trading Company"
Yeah.
**[12:00] ---**
But wait.
**[12:01] ---**
Neither the incident
involving Kyosuke's little sister
**[12:04] ---**
or the incident at the park
**[12:06] ---**
were reported as drug-related incidents.
**[12:10] ---**
There's more to this story.
**[12:14] ---**
In order to avoid an enormous
amount of reputational damage,
**[12:19] ---**
they manipulated some information.
**[12:21] ---**
All these incidents were just
dismissed as mere traffic accidents.
**[12:27] ---**
And they made it so the creation
of the new drug never happened.
**[12:33] ---**
Does that mean...
**[12:37] ---**
The identity of the suspect,
the drugs he was using...
**[12:40] ---**
Everything in this case was
left unanswered and unsolved.
**[12:43] ---**
This whole thing was a coverup?
**[12:46] ---**
There aren't many companies that can
make it so this incident never happened.
**[12:49] ---**
Look.
**[12:53] ---**
The Omori Pharmaceutical Company?
**[12:56] ---**
The one who ordered the coverup wasn't
just an Omori Pharmaceutical employee,
**[13:00] ---**
it was their top shareholder
and the head of the Kujo Family.
**[13:03] ---**
And that secret is still being held by
the current head of the Kujo Family,
**[13:08] ---**
Soma Kujo.
**[13:14] ---**
There are some dark rumors involving him.
**[13:17] ---**
Don't go near him on your own.
**[13:19] ---**
"[Anonymous Case]"
The "Anonymous Case"...
**[13:21] ---**
Where have I...
**[13:23] ---**
Have you ever heard of the incident
called the "Anonymous Case"?
**[13:29] ---**
Judging by the conversation
the detectives were having,
**[13:31] ---**
they mentioned an
Anonymous something or other...
**[13:35] ---**
Wait... Is all this somehow connected?
**[13:38] ---**
Sara's accident and the incident
at the Amusement Park in the Forest...
**[13:42] ---**
The incident involving Maki...
The root cause was...
**[13:46] ---**
These drug-related incidents...
**[13:47] ---**
"No Sign of Braking Before Crash"
"The Driver Was Found Unconscious"
These drug-related incidents...
**[13:48] ---**
"2 Die in a Traffic Collision"
"Two Cars Involved in an Early Morning Crash"
These drug-related incidents...
**[13:50] ---**
There's one more thing.
**[13:53] ---**
Is this the component analysis of Plus?
**[13:56] ---**
That drug that was just confiscated...
**[13:58] ---**
Yeah.
**[14:00] ---**
And here's the component analysis of the new drug
Omori Pharmaceutical Company created back then.
**[14:07] ---**
They're exactly the same. Does that mean...
**[14:09] ---**
The drug that circulated ten odd years ago
and recently resurfaced again as Plus.
**[14:16] ---**
The prototype for that is definitely this drug.
**[14:20] ---**
Who has this data that should've
disappeared in the coverup?
**[14:25] ---**
The same people who created this
newer drug and have the means to distribute it.
**[14:32] ---**
Soma Kujo...
**[14:35] ---**
The talks about him controlling
drug deals are just rumors,
**[14:39] ---**
but it's still worth checking out.
**[14:42] ---**
Even though it wasn't intentional,
**[14:44] ---**
if something they unleashed
into the world turned evil,
**[14:47] ---**
they should still have to
take responsibility somehow.
**[14:51] ---**
Both him and I.
**[14:54] ---**
You, too, Mr. Aoyama?
**[15:00] ---**
What I saw that day...
**[15:05] ---**
Seeing those children hurt and their parents
**[15:07] ---**
screaming in fear as they cried for help.
**[15:10] ---**
All the adults were panicking so
much that none of them even saw me.
**[15:14] ---**
Hurry!
**[15:16] ---**
Even though I was just a kid, I thought...
**[15:18] ---**
This was all our fault.
**[15:22] ---**
It's true that my father had a hand
in making that incident happen.
**[15:28] ---**
But there was nothing I could do back then.
**[15:32] ---**
It didn't sit right with me.
I felt pathetic and angry.
**[15:37] ---**
I've never forgotten that feeling.
**[15:39] ---**
Eventually, I started looking into this case.
**[15:43] ---**
Then I found out more about
cases involving illegal drugs
**[15:47] ---**
and before I knew it,
I was doing my current job.
**[15:52] ---**
I could've ignored it
and avoided a job like this.
**[15:55] ---**
I'm sure some people want to forget
about it and don't want this dug up.
**[15:59] ---**
Some people may even get hurt.
**[16:03] ---**
But I'm going to keep moving forward.
**[16:07] ---**
I'm going to settle this.
**[16:10] ---**
Until then, I don't plan on joining STAND.
**[16:13] ---**
So that's your justice, Mr. Aoyama?
**[16:18] ---**
You told me before, remember?
**[16:19] ---**
The other side of justice
is another side of justice.
**[16:23] ---**
That you were going to see your justice through
**[16:26] ---**
even if you end up seeming
evil to someone else.
**[16:29] ---**
I really haven't been able to do anything.
**[16:32] ---**
I want to help, but I feel like
I'm being told, "We don't need your help."
**[16:37] ---**
It hurts so much...
**[16:38] ---**
No, that's not it!
**[16:41] ---**
It frustrated me so much!
**[16:47] ---**
I also... want to see my justice through!
**[16:56] ---**
Do you want to help?
**[16:57] ---**
Huh?
**[17:00] ---**
Now that your scouting duties are on hold,
you have some time, don't you?
**[17:03] ---**
B-But... You've done all
this research on your own so far...
**[17:09] ---**
I told you before, didn't I?
**[17:10] ---**
I acknowledge your sense of justice.
**[17:16] ---**
I wanted to ask for your help.
That's why I told you this.
**[17:21] ---**
What do you think?
**[17:27] ---**
If...
**[17:29] ---**
If there's anything I can do to help the people
**[17:33] ---**
who have been hurt by this incident...
**[17:36] ---**
I want to move forward.
**[17:44] ---**
Please allow me help you.
**[17:54] ---**
Everyone,
**[17:56] ---**
I'm so sorry that I've worried you.
**[17:59] ---**
Aw, and we wanted to go out
drinking to cheer you up.
**[18:06] ---**
Your eyes are no longer bloodshot.
**[18:08] ---**
Looks like you're back in perfect condition.
**[18:11] ---**
Good job, mentor. Guess I won't
be able to use my PTO after all.
**[18:17] ---**
But I'm amazed.
**[18:19] ---**
You managed to gather
all this information off the clock.
**[18:26] ---**
Seriously.
**[18:27] ---**
But, now, we might be able to find out
where Plus came from and its distribution route.
**[18:33] ---**
We might even be able to find out more
about the Anonymous Case, too.
**[18:37] ---**
Which means...
**[18:39] ---**
We might be able to find out the real
reason they wanted to create STAND.
**[18:43] ---**
Though finding out too much
could lead us to our destruction.
**[18:48] ---**
But it's probably too late to turn back now.
**[18:51] ---**
Not to mention our princess
wants to continue moving forward.
**[18:57] ---**
P-Princess?
**[18:59] ---**
Izumi.
**[19:01] ---**
We're on your side.
**[19:04] ---**
If this is the path you've chosen,
we'll walk down it with you.
**[19:09] ---**
Mr. Seki...
**[19:12] ---**
All right.
**[19:13] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[19:16] ---**
Excuse me a moment.
**[19:18] ---**
"I heard something happened with the cops.
But I'm not a member of STAND
yet, so our relationship doesn't change."
**[19:27] ---**
I mean, I decided to help
Rei because I liked her.
**[19:31] ---**
So this doesn't change anything.
**[19:34] ---**
Right, Kagura?
**[19:35] ---**
Why are you asking me?
I'll do my job as long as I get paid.
**[19:40] ---**
Why can't you be more honest?
**[19:42] ---**
Shut up. Hurry up. It's your turn.
**[19:48] ---**
"Hatori feels the same. I think Aki does, too."
**[19:54] ---**
There are people right in front of me
and beyond who say they're on my side.
**[20:00] ---**
That they won't change.
**[20:04] ---**
It was raining outside, and its
coldness almost made me look down,
**[20:12] ---**
but when I looked up, I saw a new view.
**[20:16] ---**
There was light piercing through the clouds
**[20:19] ---**
and one day, the sky will be blue again.
**[20:23] ---**
I'm going to believe that
and continue moving forward.
**[20:33] ---**
So the guy that we were wary of
apparently has his eyes on you after all.
**[20:39] ---**
Looks like he's now recruited
that scout that I mentioned before.
**[20:43] ---**
Now that STAND is also looking
into the Anonymous Case,
**[20:47] ---**
you should probably be more careful.
**[20:49] ---**
You're right, especially
to see my goals through.
**[20:57] ---**
You going to see Mr. Kujo?
**[21:00] ---**
Is he not feeling well again?
**[21:02] ---**
He's been busy lately.
**[21:05] ---**
We need him to at least get some supplements.
**[21:07] ---**
"Kujo Family - Kiyoshi Shindo"
We need him to at least get some supplements.
**[21:08] ---**

**[21:09] ---**

I'm going to make sure I'm doing my job.
**[21:12] ---**
Of course.
**[21:15] ---**
"Kujo Family - Koya Kirishima"
If anyone ever threatens him,
I'll protect Mr. Kujo with my life.
**[21:20] ---**
"Kujo Family - Kaname Yamazaki"
But you're the only one who can
deal with any illness, you shady doctor.
**[21:25] ---**
You sound like you're having fun.

"Kujo Family - Go Miyase"
**[21:35] ---**
Oh wait, it's not food?
**[21:39] ---**
The geraniums I was growing out
back bloomed magnificently.
**[21:43] ---**
Mr. Shindo, Mr. Kujo is free right now.
**[21:47] ---**
He's off the phone?
**[21:49] ---**
He was just touching base
with Mr. Hiyama as usual, right?
**[21:52] ---**
Who knows what they're actually talking about?
**[21:54] ---**
Who cares about that?
**[21:59] ---**
As long as we're in this household,
**[22:01] ---**
Mr. Kujo is the most
important person in our lives.
**[22:07] ---**
No matter
**[22:10] ---**
what secrets he may possess.
**[23:52] ---**
Oh, look at the time.
**[23:55] ---**
I should head home.
**[23:59] ---**
A message?
**[24:01] ---**

"Received Message"
"Don't get involved any
further if you don't want to die"
This is...
**[00:23] ---**
When did you get this?
**[00:24] ---**
Yesterday.
**[00:26] ---**
Don't get involved any further...
Does that mean...
**[00:30] ---**
Yeah. Considering the timing,
**[00:32] ---**
I can only assume it has to do
with the case we're discussing.
**[00:35] ---**
The sender could be Omori Pharmaceuticals,
who did the original coverup.
**[00:40] ---**
Or it could even be Soma Kujo himself.
**[00:44] ---**
But why would they send it to you?
**[00:47] ---**
I haven't received any threats.
**[00:51] ---**
Could you keep this quiet to everyone else?
**[00:56] ---**
I'm sure they're going to worry.
**[01:01] ---**
I don't want to be taken off this case.
**[01:06] ---**
All right.
**[01:07] ---**
But since you received something like this,
**[01:10] ---**
we don't know what else they're willing to do.
**[01:13] ---**
From now on, let me
know when you do anything.
**[01:17] ---**
Got it?
**[01:18] ---**
Yes, sir. I'll have Revel
look into who sent me this.
**[01:24] ---**
You're kidding, right?
**[01:26] ---**
What's wrong?
**[01:28] ---**
It's an emergency. There's trouble.

**[03:28] ---**
Did you really have to say it like that?
**[03:30] ---**
But this is an emergency!
**[03:35] ---**
To think that we'd end up
having to help with an event...
**[03:39] ---**
What can we do?
**[03:40] ---**
I mean, this is the first joint event between
**[03:43] ---**
the Ministry of Health, Labour and
Welfare; MPD; and the fire department.
**[03:45] ---**
"Safe and Sound Happiness Fair"
the Ministry of Health, Labour and

**[03:48] ---**
You never know what's going to happen.
**[03:52] ---**
Look. There are more victims right over there.
**[03:58] ---**
Mr. Seki is on another job, right?
**[04:01] ---**
Where's Yui?
**[04:03] ---**
He contacted us saying that he
was busy sorting through some files.
**[04:08] ---**
That's not urgent at all.
So basically, he ran away.
**[04:13] ---**
He doesn't like coming to the scene to work.
**[04:19] ---**
Izumi, it looks like he's here.
**[04:25] ---**
Excuse me for a moment. I'll be right back.
**[04:29] ---**
Where's Rei going?
**[04:32] ---**
She went to say hi to the star of the parade.
**[04:35] ---**
Kyosuke.
**[04:38] ---**
Miss Rei! It's been a while.
**[04:40] ---**
It has.
**[04:42] ---**
So you were chosen to be
the police chief for a day.
**[04:45] ---**
Congrats.
**[04:47] ---**
Thanks.
**[04:50] ---**
When they gave me the offer,
I wondered if I was cut out for the job.
**[04:54] ---**
Of course, you are!
**[04:56] ---**
"Starring Kyosuke Tsuzuki"
"Canary Days"
"2nd Season in Production!"
I'm so glad the misunderstanding's been cleared.
**[04:59] ---**
You're even busier now than you were
before this whole mess, aren't you?
**[05:04] ---**
Which is a surprise because
of all the commotion it caused.
**[05:07] ---**
It's all thanks to everyone around me.
**[05:10] ---**
That just means you had
that many people supporting you.
**[05:15] ---**
Yeah.
**[05:17] ---**
I'm sure Kei and Revel had
something to do with this, too.
**[05:20] ---**
I need to make sure I thank them.
**[05:23] ---**
Thank you, too, Miss Rei.
**[05:26] ---**
I didn't do anything.
**[05:28] ---**
No. You gave me courage.
**[05:31] ---**
I can't see my brother yet,
**[05:34] ---**
but I'll keep doing my best for
all the people who support me, too.
**[06:01] ---**
You're so cool!

**[06:11] ---**
Could you please step back a little bit?
**[06:14] ---**
Excuse me, could you help me out a bit?
**[06:18] ---**
Sure... Huh?
**[06:19] ---**
Oh, it's you, Rei.
**[06:22] ---**
Your uniform...
**[06:23] ---**
Oh, this?
**[06:26] ---**
I'm helping out with the
children's traffic safety class.
**[06:31] ---**

**[06:31] ---**

Here you go.
**[06:33] ---**
Could you split these up into piles of 20?
**[06:35] ---**
They want them at each booth.
**[06:37] ---**
S-Sure...
**[06:47] ---**
You don't need to make that face.
**[06:49] ---**
It's not like it was anything personal.
**[06:53] ---**
Oh, I need piles of 30 from the box over there.
**[07:03] ---**
Hello.
**[07:05] ---**
I was asked to come help over here.
**[07:09] ---**
Help... me...
**[07:13] ---**
Help me... Switch with me...
**[07:18] ---**
That voice. Don't tell me--
**[07:22] ---**
Natsume?!
**[07:23] ---**
Switch with me.
**[07:24] ---**
Dealing with kids in this outfit
is definitely not my thing.
**[07:32] ---**
I thought I'd find you the least exhausting job.
**[07:37] ---**
Imaoji.
**[07:40] ---**
You need to carry that, right?
**[07:42] ---**
I'll help.
**[07:43] ---**
It's all right. I can do this myself.
**[07:47] ---**
More importantly, could you
look after Natsume for a while?
**[07:55] ---**
Imaoji is stronger than he looks.
**[07:58] ---**
He's definitely a man of the sea.
**[08:01] ---**
Apparently Shun goes sailing.
**[08:03] ---**
He even has his own yacht.
**[08:07] ---**
The public servant who has
his own yacht... Shun Imaoji.
**[08:10] ---**
What kind of tagline is that?
**[08:13] ---**
Wait up!
**[08:17] ---**
Hey, wait!
**[08:20] ---**
What the heck is that? It's so weird!
**[08:22] ---**
Is it a bird or a pig?
**[08:24] ---**
Hey, I'm thirsty.
**[08:26] ---**
Huh?
**[08:27] ---**
Hiyah!
**[08:29] ---**
Hey! No kicking!
**[08:33] ---**
I'm sorry, but there aren't any drinks here.
**[08:36] ---**
What? No way!
**[08:37] ---**
Hiyah!
**[08:42] ---**
What?
**[08:43] ---**
No, it's nothing.
**[08:49] ---**
Mr. Aoyama!
**[08:50] ---**
Please come save us, already!
**[08:55] ---**
Hey, what are you kids doing?
**[09:02] ---**
I'm so exhausted.
**[09:05] ---**
I'm so sorry!

So you're with the Bureau of Health and Welfare.
**[09:39] ---**
Allow me to properly
introduce myself. I'm Miyase.
**[09:43] ---**
Thank you for back then.
**[09:46] ---**
Um... Is Mr. Kujo not with you today?
**[09:51] ---**
We just came by to run some errands,
**[09:54] ---**
so he's not with us.
**[09:57] ---**
I see.
**[09:59] ---**
Miyase.
**[10:01] ---**
Oh, sorry. Please, go ahead.
**[10:04] ---**
I look forward to your win.
**[10:06] ---**
Leave it to me! I'm gonna get
that uncured ham as a gift for Mr. Kujo.
**[10:14] ---**
"Arm Wrestling Contest!"
"Winner gets a top-quality uncured ham!"
**[10:18] ---**
I'm definitely gonna win,
so just sit back and panic.
**[10:24] ---**
Does he mean, "Sit back and relax"?
**[10:27] ---**
Yes.
**[10:28] ---**
I believe so.
**[10:31] ---**
Aren't you going with him, Miyase?
**[10:34] ---**
I have to go to the marché over there.
**[10:38] ---**
Marché?
**[10:40] ---**
I was thinking of going, too.
If you don't mind, may I join you?
**[10:46] ---**
Yes, of course.
**[10:50] ---**
Are you looking for something?
**[10:53] ---**
Not exactly. I just heard
they had a lot of unusual things,
**[10:57] ---**
"Organic vegetables"
Not exactly. I just heard
they had a lot of unusual things,
**[10:59] ---**
"Organic vegetables"
so I wanted to take a look.
**[11:01] ---**
Um, what's your relationship with Mr. Kujo?
**[11:06] ---**
Huh?
**[11:07] ---**
Oh, it's just... When we met at the party,
**[11:11] ---**
I figured the other gentleman was a bodyguard.
**[11:15] ---**
But you seemed a bit different.
**[11:19] ---**
I'm an employee to the Kujo Family.
**[11:22] ---**
Employee...?
**[11:24] ---**
I'm basically something like a maid.
**[11:27] ---**
I prepare the meals for everyone
who lives at the mansion
**[11:29] ---**
as well as clean and do laundry.
**[11:33] ---**
Do you ever help Mr. Kujo with his work?
**[11:37] ---**
Hm?
**[11:39] ---**
It's just... I don't know much about his work,
so I couldn't really imagine it.
**[11:44] ---**
Ah...
**[11:45] ---**
Oh, no.
**[11:46] ---**
I'm not involved in anything
too complicated. That's not my job.
**[11:52] ---**
I see.
**[11:54] ---**
I'm sorry for asking such a weird question.
**[11:57] ---**
It's quite all right.
**[12:01] ---**
That's cute.
**[12:03] ---**
They're geraniums.
**[12:05] ---**
Do you like flowers?
**[12:07] ---**
I do. I even take care
of the yard at the mansion.
**[12:12] ---**
We have these out back, too.
But we don't have any yellow ones.
**[12:17] ---**
When they all bloom
at once it's rather beautiful.
**[12:20] ---**
I see.
**[12:22] ---**
I would love to show you
one day if we have the chance.
**[12:26] ---**
Oh, and these are cosmos.
**[12:35] ---**
Is something the matter?
**[12:37] ---**
I'm sorry. It's just your hair...
**[12:44] ---**
I thought I managed to fix all of my bedhead.
**[12:47] ---**
How embarrassing.
**[12:49] ---**
That happens to me sometimes, as well.
**[12:51] ---**
My colleagues even yell
at me sometimes about it.
**[12:56] ---**
I guess we're somewhat alike.
**[13:00] ---**
Miyase!
**[13:06] ---**
I guess we stayed here longer than expected.
**[13:09] ---**
But because of that, I had a lot of fun.
**[13:12] ---**
I had fun, too. Thank you.
**[13:19] ---**
Miyase seems so gentle.
I sort of let my guard down.
**[13:26] ---**
It's getting a bit cold.
**[13:39] ---**
What's up?
**[13:41] ---**
Nothing.
**[13:43] ---**
Let's go.
**[13:54] ---**
Hey.
**[13:55] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[13:58] ---**
We haven't gotten any new information, it seems.
**[14:01] ---**
Imaoji was looking into
Omori Pharmaceuticals, wasn't he?
**[14:04] ---**
Yes. But they have quite a
few executives, so it's taking a while.
**[14:09] ---**
I can imagine.
**[14:11] ---**
We might be able to get a clue if we can
**[14:13] ---**
talk to one of the employees at his mansion.
**[14:16] ---**
But I guess it's not like
we'd run into them that often.
**[14:20] ---**
It was just a coincidence that
I ran into Miyase and Kirishima.
**[14:24] ---**
What?!
**[14:26] ---**
Huh?
**[14:27] ---**
I just happened to run into them at the event...
**[14:29] ---**
Wait, didn't I tell you?
**[14:31] ---**
Seriously...
**[14:33] ---**
I-I'm so sorry!
**[14:38] ---**
Well? How'd it go?
**[14:41] ---**
Well...
**[14:43] ---**
We only talked for a little while,
so I wasn't able to get any useful information.
**[14:48] ---**
Neither of them seemed like bad people.
**[14:51] ---**
Miyase seemed a little different.
**[14:54] ---**
I see.
**[14:57] ---**
But, if they're close to Kujo, they
might also be involved in the incident.
**[15:02] ---**
Don't let your guard down.
**[15:04] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[15:07] ---**
"Today"
"Hey, where are you right now?"
**[15:08] ---**
"Today"
"Hey, where are you right now?"
Huh?
**[15:10] ---**
I didn't think you'd actually show up.
**[15:14] ---**
I would've gone to you if you'd called.
**[15:16] ---**
Do you even realize
that you're being threatened?
**[15:19] ---**
Even I wouldn't ask you
to come see me this late at night.
**[15:24] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[15:26] ---**
Well, I did want to confirm something.

So that threatening message you got...

"Received Message"
"Don't get involved any

We're having trouble tracking down the sender.
**[15:35] ---**
All the info in the header
was fake and we can't trace the IP.
**[15:40] ---**
It's almost like they're
handling secrets of the state.
**[15:45] ---**
We'll keep looking into it,
but don't get your hopes up.
**[15:48] ---**
I appreciate it very much
since I can't go out much right now.
**[15:53] ---**
That's what I wanted to confirm.
**[15:56] ---**
Do you have any idea what they meant
about not getting involved any further?
**[16:02] ---**
In that case, you really should stay put.
**[16:06] ---**
Whoever you're dealing with...
**[16:09] ---**
They're not amateurs.
**[16:15] ---**
Now, for the possible distribution routes,
**[16:17] ---**
there are a few sites
that are possible candidates.
**[16:20] ---**
The first one is--
**[16:21] ---**
Good work, everyone.
**[16:22] ---**
Hello, sir.
**[16:28] ---**
What's wrong?
**[16:29] ---**
I seem to have caught a little cold.
**[16:31] ---**
That's because you were
walking around in short sleeves.
**[16:34] ---**
Don't they say that certain kinds
of people usually don't catch colds?
**[16:39] ---**
Come on, Natsume...
**[16:41] ---**
Have you seen a doctor?
**[16:43] ---**
I have, but...
**[16:48] ---**
They prescribed you PA tablets and codeine...
**[16:53] ---**
I guess these don't stand a
chance against your condition either.
**[16:56] ---**
Izumi, make sure you don't push yourself.
**[16:59] ---**
You can lay down at any time.
**[17:02] ---**
Yui...
**[17:04] ---**
Once you get some rest, let's go to
the exam room and draw some blood.
**[17:06] ---**
Don't worry. We're just
going to get a blood cell count.
**[17:09] ---**
It'll be over before you know it.
**[17:12] ---**
That's totally what you're after, isn't it?
**[17:16] ---**
I'm perfectly fine.
I'm sorry for worrying all of you.
**[17:20] ---**
Please continue.
**[17:26] ---**
Izumi.
**[17:27] ---**
Yes, sir?
**[17:30] ---**
Could you deliver these documents to Watabe?
**[17:33] ---**
You can go home right after that.
**[17:35] ---**
Huh?
**[17:36] ---**
Is that all right with you?
**[17:38] ---**
That's fine.
**[17:39] ---**
Sounds good to me.
**[17:41] ---**
But I couldn't. It's not so bad
that I need the day off...
**[17:45] ---**
You may feel okay now,
but we don't want you to get any worse.
**[17:48] ---**
Please don't push yourself and get better soon.
**[17:52] ---**
You heard them.
**[17:55] ---**
I'm very sorry. Thank you.
**[17:59] ---**
"Ministry of Foreign Affairs"
**[18:03] ---**
Maybe it was a good idea
that they sent me home early.
**[18:12] ---**
Come in.
**[18:14] ---**
Pardon me. It's Izumi.
**[18:17] ---**
Ah, welcome, Rei.
**[18:19] ---**
I've been waiting for you.
**[18:24] ---**
Here are the documents from Mr. Seki.
**[18:28] ---**
Thank you for delivering them.
**[18:30] ---**
Do you have a cold?
**[18:31] ---**
Yes. It's nothing major.
**[18:33] ---**
Are you okay? Do you have a fever?
**[18:36] ---**
I'm totally fine. It's no big deal.
**[18:39] ---**
Really?
**[18:40] ---**
Yes.
**[18:42] ---**
Then at least take a little break here.
**[18:44] ---**
Must be hard moving around so much.
**[18:47] ---**
Coffee... Is probably a bad idea.
**[18:49] ---**
I'll pour you some hot tea.
**[18:52] ---**
I'll stay a little while, then.
**[18:57] ---**
So I heard
**[18:59] ---**
that the event was a huge success.
**[19:01] ---**
Festivals are so much fun.
**[19:03] ---**
Shooting for prizes,
*takoyaki*, and candied apples.
**[19:07] ---**
Our festival was a bit different...
**[19:10] ---**
By the way,
**[19:11] ---**
you seem rather busy.
**[19:13] ---**
Nah, this is completely normal.
**[19:16] ---**
Is it...?
**[19:20] ---**
Mr. Watabe?
**[19:22] ---**
Do you mind, Rei?
**[19:28] ---**
See? I knew it.
**[19:31] ---**
You have a fever.
**[19:34] ---**
You bad little girl.
**[19:39] ---**
Sorry to keep you for so long.
**[19:40] ---**
I'll take you home.
**[19:42] ---**
I'll let Seki know.
**[19:45] ---**
Um... He already said I could go home early.
**[19:48] ---**
Oh, really?
**[19:50] ---**
In that case, I'll finish up work real quick,
**[19:53] ---**
so go ahead and lie down
on the sofa over here.
**[19:55] ---**
You can use the blanket, too.
**[19:56] ---**
Oh, no. I can't have you give me a ride...
**[19:59] ---**
Would you like me to lie down next to you?
**[20:01] ---**
No!
**[20:04] ---**
See? That's what you get for yelling.
**[20:07] ---**
No need to hold back.
**[20:09] ---**
Think of it as giving me an excuse to slack off.
**[20:14] ---**
We appreciate how hard you work,
but we all worry about you.
**[20:18] ---**
Don't push yourself too hard, okay?
**[20:23] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[20:26] ---**
Good girl.

My next candidate is Mr. Kujo."
**[20:58] ---**
"Mr. Kujo."
**[21:01] ---**
Don't get swallowed up. Don't stop.
**[21:05] ---**
Reach out and grasp the truth.
**[21:09] ---**
Because you decided to find out for yourself,
**[21:12] ---**
no matter what awaits you.
**[22:52] ---**
So this is the Kujo Family mansion...
**[22:55] ---**
Don't let your guard down.
**[22:56] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[22:58] ---**
You know the person
coming today, don't you, Koya?
**[23:03] ---**
I don't care who they are.
If they're Mr. Kujo's enemy, I'll crush them.
**[23:07] ---**
And I'm fine if you do,
but just make sure you finish the job.
**[23:12] ---**
It'd be a pain if they were able to get treated.
**[23:19] ---**
You guys are terrifying.
**[23:26] ---**
You seem rather tired.
**[23:28] ---**
I'm fine.
**[23:30] ---**
Are you sure it was a good idea
to have someone from the DCD to come by?
**[23:34] ---**
The higher-ups at the Ministry of Health,
Labour and Welfare set up this up.
**[23:39] ---**
I'm just going to get this over with.
**[23:42] ---**
Try not to get involved with the DCD.
**[23:46] ---**
Relay that to Kirishima and the others, as well.
**[23:50] ---**
Understood.
**[23:53] ---**
Now, then... Let's see what you've got...

**[00:25] ---**
Calm down.
**[00:26] ---**
This is your job.
**[00:27] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[00:30] ---**
You must be Ms. Izumi and Mr. Aoyama.
**[00:35] ---**
Welcome. We've been expecting you.
**[00:38] ---**
Please, come this way.
**[00:43] ---**
What's wrong?
**[00:44] ---**
Oh, it's nothing...
**[00:52] ---**
I've brought the guests.
**[00:54] ---**
Let them in.
**[00:57] ---**
Pardon us.
**[01:07] ---**
Thank you for coming so far to see me today.
**[01:10] ---**
I am Soma Kujo.
**[01:18] ---**
"Stand My Heroes"
**[02:55] ---**
U-Um...
**[02:57] ---**
I apologize for all the trouble
I caused you at the party on the ship.
**[03:01] ---**
No, no. I apologize for
inconveniencing you, as well.
**[03:05] ---**
Now, then...
**[03:06] ---**
Huh?
**[03:08] ---**
I'm sure you didn't come here to reminisce.
**[03:12] ---**
Let's get down to business.
**[03:15] ---**
Today, we wanted to talk
to you about you possibly joining
**[03:19] ---**
a joint agency involving the Ministry
of Health, Labour and Welfare's DCD
**[03:23] ---**
and the MPD's Investigation
Section 1 called STAND.
**[03:26] ---**
As well as give you an explanation on STAND.
**[03:32] ---**
STAND's main purpose is to handle
unsolved drug-related cases.
**[03:37] ---**
We want to solve cases
in an unprecedented way,
**[03:39] ---**
using talented people from various fields,
**[03:42] ---**
and not being held by conventional restrictions.
**[03:47] ---**
Since you are in charge of
a notable pharmaceutical company,
**[03:50] ---**
your knowledge and connections
would be extremely valuable to us.
**[03:55] ---**
If you could possibly consider joining...
**[03:59] ---**
I see. That's a rather interesting story.
**[04:03] ---**
I understand what you're asking of me,
**[04:05] ---**
but as you've mentioned yourself,
I have a very important position.
**[04:10] ---**
Not only must I protect the
Omori Pharmaceutical Company,
**[04:13] ---**
but I must do everything
I can to protect the Kujo Family.
**[04:17] ---**
So please, give me a reason
that I should help you out.
**[04:24] ---**
Er, as I just mentioned,
with your knowledge and--
**[04:28] ---**
That's not what I'm asking.
**[04:31] ---**
There are many people who have
high positions in pharmaceutical companies.
**[04:36] ---**
I wouldn't even mind introducing you to some,
**[04:39] ---**
but I'd like to know why
I personally should help you.
**[04:49] ---**
Well...
**[04:51] ---**
The heads of your family have been executives
**[04:53] ---**
for Omori Pharmaceuticals for generations,
**[04:56] ---**
and I hear that you're trying
to ambitiously manufacture new drugs.
**[05:01] ---**
There are people in the DCD
that have been studying drugs for years,
**[05:04] ---**
but we don't have an expert
on the creation of them.
**[05:07] ---**
To my knowledge, Omori Pharmaceuticals
would be the top candidate
**[05:13] ---**
for the knowledge and
techniques STAND is searching for.
**[05:16] ---**
I see. But again, you're asking
the wrong person for help.
**[05:23] ---**
I am an executive to the company
and in no way an expert in the field.
**[05:27] ---**
Going by your logic, it sounds like you'd
be better scouting one of my researchers.
**[05:31] ---**
But what STAND needs
is not an individual's knowledge.
**[05:35] ---**
It's Omori Pharmaceuticals as a whole--
**[05:37] ---**
Yet another reason my hands are tied.
**[05:41] ---**
That company isn't my property.
**[05:44] ---**
Would you like me to introduce you
to someone more suitable?
**[05:48] ---**
If I may interject...
**[05:51] ---**
...Izumi is not here as
an official member of STAND.
**[05:56] ---**
Her sole purpose is to scout candidates.
**[05:58] ---**
It's not her job to choose them.
**[06:02] ---**
Of course, if you prefer, we could ask
our supervisor why you were chosen,
**[06:07] ---**
but if that's the case, we'll have to ask you
**[06:09] ---**
for more of your time at a later
date after we receive an answer.
**[06:12] ---**
We have no problem with this,
but I know that you're a very busy person.
**[06:16] ---**
Does that work with you?
**[06:18] ---**
--Wha? Listen up, you--
**[06:19] ---**
--Very well.
--Wha? Listen up, you--
**[06:20] ---**
Let me cut to the chase.
I have no interest in this deal.
**[06:25] ---**
I'm pretty sure you can figure out why.
**[06:29] ---**
If that's why you're declining,
wouldn't that put you in a worse position?
**[06:35] ---**
That's not for you to decide.
**[06:39] ---**
If it's her job to scout,
then what does that make you?
**[06:44] ---**
Aoyama is a fellow candidate for STAND
just like yourself. He's not an outsider.
**[06:50] ---**
Incorrect.
**[06:51] ---**
If he's not an official member,
**[06:54] ---**
he is exactly an outsider just like me.
**[06:59] ---**
Though if he were here as the
heir to the Aoyama Trading Company,
**[07:03] ---**
they've helped us out very much over the years.
**[07:06] ---**
I'd have a little time to do some catching up.
**[07:11] ---**
I do apologize though, as I have quite
a few engagements to get to today.
**[07:16] ---**
Please wait!
**[07:17] ---**
I agree with Aoyama.
**[07:20] ---**
If we end things like this, I believe
that will put you in a worse position.
**[07:26] ---**
I will come by again.
**[07:31] ---**
Please take your leave.
**[07:37] ---**
Let's go.
**[07:41] ---**
Hello.
**[07:43] ---**
How did it go? It appeared that
at least Mr. Shindo has had enough.
**[07:49] ---**
If they're going to stand in the way of
my goals, then I sadly can't ignore them.
**[07:56] ---**
I see you haven't changed.
**[08:00] ---**
Ever since that day...
**[08:04] ---**
Honestly...
**[08:09] ---**
I'm so sick of these annoyances.
**[08:13] ---**
If his condition worsens from all the stress,
**[08:15] ---**
it's just going to give me even more work.
**[08:17] ---**
You're probably fine.
I doubt that scout even stood a chance.
**[08:23] ---**
They might've had a tiny chance.
**[08:25] ---**
I like gutsy girls like her.
**[08:28] ---**
But I didn't like that guy.
**[08:32] ---**
The way he was looking
at Mr. Kujo pissed me off.
**[08:36] ---**
Is that what your animalistic
instincts are telling you?
**[08:39] ---**
Koya's senses are actually pretty reliable.
Why not just forget about them?
**[08:43] ---**
Yeah. If they show up again,
I'll pound them and send them running!
**[08:51] ---**
It took you 2.5 hours to get there,
but you were only there for 15 minutes?!
**[08:58] ---**
That must've been rough.
**[09:00] ---**
Well, I guess you can just think of it
as you got to tour a beautiful mansion.
**[09:04] ---**
Natsume...
**[09:06] ---**
Well, he is the head of
the infamous Kujo Family.
**[09:09] ---**
It's not surprising that he's very guarded.
**[09:12] ---**
What about the other residents
in that household?
**[09:15] ---**
Can't you try to get through to them?
**[09:18] ---**
This must be them.
**[09:20] ---**
We only met these three,
but they also felt rather guarded.
**[09:26] ---**
So it's probably difficult
to get through to them.
**[09:29] ---**
Rei, didn't you say that you became friends
with one of the employees there?
**[09:33] ---**
Yes...
**[09:34] ---**
But it was like we were
meeting for the first time.
**[09:39] ---**
He seemed completely different.
**[09:41] ---**
What should we do?
**[09:43] ---**
This is an order from above.
We'll just have to continue our attack.
**[09:48] ---**
Well, her title as the scout for STAND
member candidates should help you out.
**[09:53] ---**
Right. And this will help us work directly with
**[09:57] ---**
the material witness in
the case we're currently covering.
**[09:59] ---**
Exactly. Izumi, go ahead and
make our next appointment with them.
**[10:03] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[10:04] ---**
That's the enthusiasm I like to see.
And because you youngsters are so motivated...
**[10:10] ---**
I brought you a gift.
**[10:11] ---**
Today's snack is Mille-Feuille Spécialité
from Mille-Feuille Maison Français.
**[10:17] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[10:18] ---**
I'll go make some tea.
**[10:19] ---**
I'll help.
**[10:21] ---**
I'll take one, too, thanks.
**[10:23] ---**
Don't you have to get back to work?
**[10:28] ---**
We're currently waiting on
when we can see Mr. Kujo next,
**[10:31] ---**
so in the meantime, I gathered all
the information I can on the Kujo Family.
**[10:35] ---**
I was hoping you could help me out.
**[10:38] ---**
So you're trying to scout Mr. Kujo?
**[10:41] ---**
Yes.
**[10:46] ---**
Let's see...
**[10:51] ---**
Hey...
**[10:52] ---**
Hatori...
**[10:53] ---**
Huh... Not bad.
**[10:56] ---**
Looking at this data, everyone has very
different occupations and backgrounds.
**[11:01] ---**
I can't seem to figure out why they're
so willing to band together for Mr. Kujo.
**[11:06] ---**
I'll take any information you can find.
**[11:09] ---**
Do you know anything?
**[11:11] ---**
Izumi, we--
**[11:12] ---**
So, uh, we don't know much
about the Kujo Family.
**[11:18] ---**
The only one that really
does out of us is Hiyama, I think.
**[11:20] ---**
Huh?
**[11:21] ---**
When the Hiyama Group was in some trouble
in the past, Mr. Kujo helped them out.
**[11:27] ---**
Hatori.
**[11:28] ---**
She doesn't need to know that.
**[11:29] ---**
It's not like people don't know about it.
**[11:31] ---**
Mr. Hiyama and Mr. Kujo
have that kind of a connection...
**[11:36] ---**
Is that why Revel won't be able to
give me information on the Kujo Family?
**[11:42] ---**
I'll let you figure that out. Sorry.
**[11:45] ---**
I'm gonna go get a drink.
**[11:49] ---**
Hey, could you not look so disappointed?
**[11:52] ---**
You're making me feel like we did something bad.
**[11:56] ---**
It's just like Hatori said. Sorry.
**[12:00] ---**
But I don't think there's
much we can do about this.
**[12:03] ---**
You probably won't get a
different answer even if you wait.
**[12:05] ---**
Then what should I...
**[12:10] ---**
Huh? W-Wait, what are you...
**[12:14] ---**
Please excuse me!
**[12:31] ---**
Yeah, walking from
the bus stop is pretty rough...
**[12:53] ---**
Mr. Kirishima?!
**[12:55] ---**
So you've showed up again!
I'm not letting you get away this time!
**[13:00] ---**
I see. You take no sleepers.
**[13:03] ---**
"Sleepers"
**[13:03] ---**
"Sleepers"
Sleepers...?
**[13:05] ---**
You've got some guts! I like that!
**[13:16] ---**
Why, you...
**[13:18] ---**
Bastard!
**[13:26] ---**
That's 120 wins, two losses, and one draw.
**[13:32] ---**
Go.
**[13:35] ---**
Better show your face around here again!
**[13:36] ---**
What in the world...
**[13:38] ---**
How long are you just gonna sit there?
**[13:40] ---**
Your butt's gonna get dirty.
**[13:43] ---**
Oh, right... Whoa!
**[13:47] ---**
Thank you very much. Thank you for saving m--
**[13:50] ---**
I'm not gonna let you see Mr. Kujo!
**[13:53] ---**
You don't have an
appointmentary thingie, do you?
**[13:56] ---**
N-No! I actually came here to see
Mr. Miyase today, not Mr. Kujo.
**[14:02] ---**
Miyase?!
**[14:03] ---**
Yes! I have something I want to give him--
**[14:10] ---**
Oh, no...
**[14:16] ---**
Make sure you just talk to Miyase.
**[14:26] ---**
Where's Miyase?
**[14:28] ---**
He's with Kiyoshi in Mr. Kujo's room.
**[14:31] ---**
So Mr. Kujo is here today?
**[14:34] ---**
You won't be seeing him.
**[14:35] ---**
Er, that's fine. I just didn't
think he'd be here today.
**[14:39] ---**
Today...
**[14:40] ---**
...he's working from home.
**[14:42] ---**
Oh, I see.
**[14:43] ---**
Hey!
**[14:44] ---**
I told you not to talk to anyone but Miyase!
**[14:46] ---**
Oh, right... I'm sorry.
**[14:53] ---**
I'd say it's anemia.
**[14:55] ---**
He should be fine if he just rests for the day,
**[14:59] ---**
but he should get fully examined.
**[15:01] ---**
Make some time in his schedule.
**[15:03] ---**
Understood.
**[15:07] ---**
You've got a visitor.
**[15:10] ---**
Me?
**[15:12] ---**
Here you go.
**[15:14] ---**
I'm sorry that it got so dirty.
**[15:16] ---**
But what's inside is still fine.
**[15:21] ---**
This is...
**[15:23] ---**
Thank you for everything you did at the party.
**[15:28] ---**
It was bothering me that I'd kept it so long.
**[15:32] ---**
I see. Thank you for your consideration.
**[15:37] ---**
Um...
**[15:43] ---**
I don't like the look of those clouds.
**[15:46] ---**
Let's get you a car.
**[15:48] ---**
Oh, no! I--
**[15:49] ---**
I'll take her back.
**[16:00] ---**
Sorry about that.
**[16:02] ---**
It's my fault for not being able to
take down that deer bastard earlier.
**[16:07] ---**
Oh, no. Thank you for
letting me see Mr. Miyase.
**[16:14] ---**
Mr. Kirishima?
**[16:16] ---**
Stop poking your nose in Mr. Kujo's business.
**[16:19] ---**
It doesn't seem like you think Mr. Kujo's
a bad guy like all the others have.
**[16:25] ---**
But you still have some doubts.
**[16:30] ---**
Am I wrong?
**[16:35] ---**
What are you doing?
**[16:37] ---**
This is no place for idle chatter.
**[16:40] ---**
I know that.
**[16:43] ---**
Let's go.
**[16:44] ---**
Is Mr. Kujo...
**[16:46] ---**
Is Mr. Kujo not feeling well?
**[16:50] ---**
Um... Please tell him
that I hope he feels better soon.
**[16:55] ---**
I'm sure he's busy, so I hope
he doesn't push himself too hard.
**[17:09] ---**
I don't think it's going
to let down any time soon.
**[17:12] ---**
You won't be able to drive in this.
**[17:16] ---**
Yeah, whenever it rains here...
**[17:18] ---**
"Irreplaceable"
**[17:19] ---**
"Irreplaceable"
...it becomes irreplaceable!
**[17:20] ---**
"Irreplaceable"
You mean inaccessible.
**[17:21] ---**
"Inaccessible"
You mean inaccessible.
**[17:22] ---**
Just stay the night.
**[17:24] ---**
Huh?
**[17:24] ---**
This place has plenty of
guest rooms that barely get used.
**[17:27] ---**
W-Wait! I couldn't possibly!
**[17:29] ---**
You don't wanna?
Wanna sleep in my room, then?
**[17:31] ---**
I couldn't!
**[17:33] ---**
Uh, Koya...
**[17:35] ---**
What?
**[17:37] ---**
It's not like Mr. Kujo's so heartless
that he'd just throw her out in this rain.
**[17:46] ---**
U-Um, I...
**[17:53] ---**
I'll go tell Mr. Kujo.
**[17:58] ---**
We were using it as storage,
so I apologize for the mess.
**[18:03] ---**
Please let me know if you need anything.
**[18:06] ---**
This is more than enough.
I'm sorry for inconveniencing you.
**[18:10] ---**
Not at all. Now, if you'll excuse me.
**[18:25] ---**
I guess that didn't go so well.
**[18:29] ---**
"New Science"
**[18:34] ---**
This is...
**[18:41] ---**
I should've asked where the bathroom is...
**[18:47] ---**
Understood.
**[18:53] ---**
Thanks.
**[18:55] ---**
We're also looking into the matter,
**[18:58] ---**
but considering my position, my hands are tied.
**[19:02] ---**
Yes, I know.
**[19:04] ---**
I'm not about to get picky now.
**[19:06] ---**
I'll take care of the sales
records concerning that drug.
**[19:14] ---**
No, please continue.
**[19:19] ---**
So Mr. Kujo is...
**[19:22] ---**
Miss Izumi?
**[19:36] ---**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[19:43] ---**
Thank goodness...
**[19:44] ---**
Huh?
**[19:45] ---**
So you are the person
that I met the other day, right?
**[19:53] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[19:59] ---**
What awful weather.
**[20:01] ---**
It woke me up as well.
**[20:05] ---**
Can I help you with something?
**[20:08] ---**
Mr. Kujo...
**[20:11] ---**
What kind of person is he to everyone here?
**[20:18] ---**
In the end, all of us owe him a debt
and are here by our own free will.
**[20:30] ---**
I'm going to see my job through,
**[20:34] ---**
no matter what.
**[20:37] ---**
No matter what...?
**[20:39] ---**
Do you think something is going to happen?
**[20:44] ---**
Does Mr. Kujo... Does this
household have some kind of secret?
**[20:49] ---**
I don't want to suspect someone you
and Mr. Kirishima look up to so highly...
**[20:56] ---**
But I can't look away from the truth.
**[21:06] ---**
Very well.
**[21:10] ---**
Please follow me.
**[21:16] ---**
Are you... hacking?
**[21:19] ---**
Yeah, something like that.
**[21:21] ---**
I'm only doing this because Go asked me to,
**[21:24] ---**
but if we get caught, this is
definitely going to cause trouble, isn't it?
**[21:28] ---**
I'm terribly sorry for dragging you into this.
**[21:31] ---**
But I want to prove Mr. Kujo's innocence.
**[21:35] ---**
And you think she'd be able to do that?
**[21:41] ---**
Are you going to be able
to prove Mr. Kujo's innocent?
**[21:45] ---**
To be honest, I didn't know yet.
**[21:49] ---**
I didn't know what was actually wrong or right.
**[21:53] ---**
I don't know who holds
the truth that I'm looking for.
**[21:58] ---**
Right now, I just wanted
to see with my own eyes.
**[22:01] ---**
I want to determine my one truth.
**[22:04] ---**
And that's why...
**[22:07] ---**
I want information.
**[23:47] ---**
Here you go. Looks like
some data regarding some drug.
**[23:52] ---**
Square...
**[23:54] ---**
Plus-0...
**[23:57] ---**
Could this be the new drug... that Omori
Pharmaceuticals was manufacturing?

**[00:27] ---**
Thank you for taking the time to see me.
**[00:30] ---**
What a nice little shop.
**[00:32] ---**
No, thank you for coming to see me.
**[00:35] ---**
This place was a recommendation
of a friend of mine.
**[00:39] ---**
I have a number of things to ask you.
**[00:43] ---**
Yes. And I have a lot of things
I'd like to explain.
**[00:52] ---**
"Stand My Heroes"
**[02:21] ---**
It looked like you and Kaname
had no idea about that data.
**[02:26] ---**
Correct. But you did.
**[02:31] ---**
You said it was a new drug being
developed by Omori Pharmaceuticals.
**[02:36] ---**
Please tell me. What is Square?
**[02:40] ---**
It's a drug that is tied to
the DCD's current investigation.
**[02:47] ---**
And that investigation...
**[02:50] ---**
"New drug"
"(Developed by Omori Pharmaceuticals)
(The base drug for Plus)"
**[02:52] ---**
"New drug"
"(Developed by Omori Pharmaceuticals)
(The base drug for Plus)"
Plus-0?
**[02:53] ---**
It's official name is Square.
**[02:55] ---**
In the sample photo,
there were two tablets in one set.
**[03:00] ---**
We can pretty much tell
from the reports Izumi gathered
**[03:05] ---**
that Square is what Plus was modeled after.
**[03:09] ---**
Which means we can pretty
much say that it is the new drug
**[03:14] ---**
that Omori Pharmaceuticals was developing.
**[03:14] ---**
"New drug"
"(Developed by Omori Pharmaceuticals)
(The base drug for Plus)"
that Omori Pharmaceuticals was developing.
**[03:17] ---**
So apparently Mr. Aoyama was correct.
**[03:21] ---**
If the data needed to create Plus
came from the Kujo Family...
**[03:26] ---**
...doesn't this mean
we've caught Kujo red-handed?
**[03:29] ---**
That'd be jumping to conclusions.
**[03:31] ---**
We need proof first.
**[03:33] ---**
We can't let this information out before then.
**[03:35] ---**
That includes to Miyase.
**[03:40] ---**
I'm sorry, I can't go into the details.
**[03:43] ---**
Do you think that the Kujo Family
is connected with this?
**[03:47] ---**
We do believe that that's a possibility.
**[03:50] ---**
Does this also have to do with STAND?
**[03:54] ---**
That... I'm personally not sure.
**[04:00] ---**
I see.
**[04:02] ---**
To be honest, I have regrets.
**[04:11] ---**
If you're correct, I might need
to distance myself from that house.
**[04:16] ---**
But preparing meals, cleaning the mansion,
and working hard so he can sleep well...
**[04:24] ---**
I don't think I can change my routine.
**[04:28] ---**
I think I'm a little uncertain
about what I should do...
**[04:36] ---**
Would you be willing to help me out?
**[04:39] ---**
If there are any suspicions, we will look
into it completely and gather proof.
**[04:44] ---**
That's the job of the DCD.
**[04:46] ---**
We just have to keep searching for the truth.
**[04:50] ---**
I believe that your will is
also part of the proof we need.
**[04:55] ---**
You're one of the closest people to him,
so if you believe that Mr. Kujo is innocent,
**[05:00] ---**
we have to look into it
to see if it's true or not.
**[05:04] ---**
And, for that to happen,
we need your help, Mr. Miyase.
**[05:13] ---**
You want to officially ask
Go Miyase to cooperate with us?
**[05:15] ---**
Yes.
**[05:17] ---**
It would be nice to get more
internal information on the Kujo Family
**[05:19] ---**
even if it came with some risks,
but this may end up hurting you in the end.
**[05:25] ---**
Are you sure about Miyase?
**[05:27] ---**
I believe it'll be okay.
**[05:34] ---**
In that case, I'll leave this to you.
**[05:36] ---**
Huh?
**[05:37] ---**
Why do you seem so surprised?
**[05:40] ---**
You came to this decision
on your own, didn't you?
**[05:42] ---**
Just be bold as you were earlier.
**[05:45] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[05:59] ---**
Is Kujo still at the office?
**[06:02] ---**
Yes...
**[06:03] ---**
That's a rather lifeless response.
**[06:06] ---**
Is it?
**[06:08] ---**
Kujo's condition refuses to stabilize as is.
**[06:12] ---**
I don't need you collapsing on me, too.
**[06:14] ---**
I don't know the details, but the
person he counts on the most is you.
**[06:39] ---**
Hello.
**[06:41] ---**
Please, come this way.
**[06:45] ---**
I was trying to figure out
where we could relax and talk...
**[06:49] ---**
But I apologize if this isn't to your liking.
**[06:51] ---**
It's fine.
**[06:52] ---**
Oh, geraniums.
**[06:55] ---**
How pretty.
**[06:57] ---**
I'm glad I got to show you them
just like I promised.
**[07:01] ---**
Were you in the middle of working with them?
**[07:04] ---**
I replant them every season.
**[07:07] ---**
Do you decide what to plant?
**[07:10] ---**
Yes.
**[07:12] ---**
How to care for a flower
depends on what kind it is,
**[07:15] ---**
but it's a very nice thing seeing
them sprout just how you wanted.
**[07:19] ---**
Wow, that sounds fun.
**[07:22] ---**
Would you like to give it a try?
**[07:24] ---**
Huh?
**[07:27] ---**
Like this?
**[07:29] ---**
Yes. Now add a little more soil...
**[07:34] ---**
And you're done.
**[07:36] ---**
Yes!
**[07:40] ---**
Pardon me a moment.
**[07:45] ---**
You had a little dirt on your cheek.
**[07:47] ---**
S-Sorry for causing you trouble!
**[07:57] ---**
You have such small hands.
**[07:59] ---**
And you're trying to grasp at
the shapeless truth with those hands.
**[08:05] ---**
You are a very strong person.
**[08:07] ---**
I'm sure you're going to continue
forward, straight and true.
**[08:10] ---**
Mr. Miyase...
**[08:13] ---**
I'd been in Mr. Kujo's care
ever since I was a child.
**[08:18] ---**
That's why I believe that
I see him as my older brother.
**[08:24] ---**
I believe in Mr. Kujo.
**[08:27] ---**
My mind won't change on that matter.
**[08:30] ---**
Miss Izumi, knowing that fact,
**[08:33] ---**
would you still be able to take my hand?
**[08:45] ---**
This is exactly why
I asked for your help, Mr. Miyase.
**[08:58] ---**
Very well. I will help you out.
**[09:09] ---**
Mr. Miyase gave us a promising reply.
**[09:12] ---**
I see. That's a great catch.
**[09:15] ---**
Can we really trust this man?
**[09:18] ---**
He's not after your body, is he?
**[09:21] ---**
Could you not say it like that?
**[09:23] ---**
But even if he's willing to help us,
**[09:25] ---**
I'm sure he won't be able to tell us
everything considering his position.
**[09:29] ---**
We probably need to simplify
what we want to ask him.
**[09:34] ---**
Right, but there are so many unknowns,
so we don't know where to start.
**[09:39] ---**
Things would go a little smoother
if STAND was a bit more cooperative.
**[09:44] ---**
I actually have a plan concerning that.
**[09:53] ---**
Wow, that's a lot.
**[09:55] ---**
Is that all for that one case?
**[09:58] ---**
Yeah. Where did Mr. Hattori go?
**[10:00] ---**
I haven't heard from him
ever since he left all that with you.
**[10:06] ---**
Good luck with that.
**[10:08] ---**
Natsuki, how'd the questioning go?
**[10:11] ---**
Yeah... Nothing's changed.
**[10:14] ---**
He just keeps saying
that he has nothing to say.
**[10:17] ---**
I see. If Makoto Tsuzuki
would actually cooperate,
**[10:21] ---**
we could move forward
with the Anonymous Case.
**[10:23] ---**
There's been nothing new.
Just all those old files.
**[10:28] ---**
The DCD... Or rather,
Rei's been pretty quiet lately.
**[10:33] ---**
I'm sure she would be
considering what happened.
**[10:42] ---**
Hello.
**[10:47] ---**
Um, there was something
I wanted to discuss with all of you.
**[10:50] ---**
Wait, this again?
**[10:53] ---**
What did you want to talk about?
**[10:55] ---**
I've been scouting
Mr. Kujo for a few weeks now,
**[10:59] ---**
but it's not going very easily.
**[11:02] ---**
If you receive any additional information
not in the files, could you tell me?
**[11:06] ---**
What?
**[11:07] ---**
Of course, we can't.
**[11:09] ---**
You're not a part of STAND,
therefore we have nothing to tell you.
**[11:14] ---**
Does that mean that Mr. Kujo is involved
**[11:17] ---**
with the case STAND is currently investigating?
**[11:21] ---**
I may not be a member of STAND,
but I am the scout for STAND.
**[11:26] ---**
And I am absolutely doing
my best to do this job right.
**[11:31] ---**
So for that to happen,
could you at least tell me something?
**[11:38] ---**
There's been nothing more
than the files we already have.
**[11:43] ---**
Understood.
**[11:45] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[11:53] ---**
Well, she seems to be back on her feet already.
**[11:56] ---**
And ready to cause trouble again.
**[12:07] ---**
STAND has found out
something about Mr. Kujo.
**[12:11] ---**
That's more information than I need.
**[12:29] ---**
Mr. Aoyama.
**[12:31] ---**
Arakida. Good work.
**[12:33] ---**
Izumi came to see us this morning.
**[12:35] ---**
Right. She went to get information on Kujo.
**[12:39] ---**
Sorry for the trouble.
**[12:42] ---**
This isn't part of your plan?
**[12:44] ---**
No.
**[12:46] ---**
Though our hands are being tied,
so I'm sure she's doing whatever she can.
**[12:51] ---**
But it's always been like that.
**[12:54] ---**
Wasn't she just chosen to be
in the DCD because of her condition?
**[12:59] ---**
At first, yes.
**[13:00] ---**
But Izumi is currently doing everything
she can to not rely on her condition.
**[13:06] ---**
You're the one who gave
her that advice, aren't you?
**[13:08] ---**
That wasn't my intention...
**[13:12] ---**
But that's how she took it.
**[13:15] ---**
That's how she is.
**[13:17] ---**
I was pretty sure that
you figured that out by now.
**[13:33] ---**
"Sosei Arakida"
**[13:34] ---**
Huh?
**[13:37] ---**
Hello, this is Izumi.
**[13:39] ---**
Are you working right now?
**[13:41] ---**
Yes... Oh, but I have some time.
**[13:44] ---**
I see.
**[13:46] ---**
Um...
**[13:50] ---**
I still don't think I was wrong
when I called you naïve.
**[13:56] ---**
Right...
**[13:58] ---**
But... there were things I didn't see.
**[14:02] ---**
And the reason I couldn't admit
that was because of my bias.
**[14:07] ---**
You're not just some princess
that needed protection.
**[14:14] ---**
I'm sorry for how I was acting.
**[14:17] ---**
Oh, no! Please don't apologize!
**[14:19] ---**
You were exactly right, Mr. Arakida.
**[14:23] ---**
I'm not skilled enough
to stand with all of you yet.
**[14:28] ---**
The reason I'm here to begin
with is due to my drug immunity.
**[14:32] ---**
It made me feel inferior.
**[14:35] ---**
Even then, I didn't really care at first.
**[14:39] ---**
If I could be of use to everyone
because of my condition.
**[14:43] ---**
But I can't protect anyone like that.
**[14:45] ---**
I figured out that I have to think
on my own as an agent of the DCD.
**[14:51] ---**
Your words made me realize that, Mr. Arakida.
**[14:55] ---**
I want to become stronger,
**[14:58] ---**
so I can protect the weak and support them.
**[15:02] ---**
That's why I decided
**[15:04] ---**
that I won't look down anymore.
**[15:07] ---**
I guess that's just how you are.
**[15:10] ---**
Huh?
**[15:12] ---**
The unidentified corpse that was found
in connection to the Anonymous Case...
**[15:16] ---**
If we can find out who that was,
it should help make Soma Kujo cooperate.
**[15:22] ---**
Is that...
**[15:23] ---**
That's information I can give you as a scout.
**[15:25] ---**
You're having trouble
negotiating with him, aren't you?
**[15:29] ---**
Mr. Arakida.
**[15:30] ---**
I can't help any more.
**[15:33] ---**
I'm a member of STAND, and you are not.
**[15:35] ---**
That doesn't change.
**[15:37] ---**
Even then, we both want to solve this case.
**[15:41] ---**
I will do everything
I possibly can in my position.
**[15:47] ---**
Right.
**[15:57] ---**
I see. So that's where we
are with the Anonymous Case.
**[16:02] ---**
I'll take care of the rest.
**[16:04] ---**
About that...
**[16:06] ---**
Izumi is asking if we can look into
the identity of the victim from that case.
**[16:10] ---**
Rei is pretty reliable after all if she
was able to get that far on her own.
**[16:15] ---**
So you're saying that you want
to give her this information, Maki?
**[16:20] ---**
It's just Kei. I feel the same.
**[16:23] ---**
I know it's information
that's tied to the Kujo Family,
**[16:26] ---**
but it's not information
that'll determine the culprit.
**[16:29] ---**
I don't think you need to worry about it.
**[16:35] ---**
What did you get from this information?
**[16:38] ---**
Do you think Kujo is guilty?
**[16:41] ---**
Under the current circumstances...
**[16:43] ---**
...we can't say.
**[16:45] ---**
But, if we hide this right now,
**[16:47] ---**
I think we're being insincere
to both Mr. Kujo and Izumi.
**[16:52] ---**
I see.
**[16:54] ---**
If you want to help her out, go ahead.
**[16:57] ---**
But I'm saying that because I trust you three.
**[17:03] ---**
And we trust you, too, Hiyama.
**[17:06] ---**
I see.
**[17:18] ---**
"The name of the victim from
the Anonymous Case is Yuki Hibiya."
**[17:21] ---**
"Yuki Hibiya"
**[17:21] ---**
"Yuki Hibiya"
The Omori Pharmaceutical Company.
**[17:27] ---**
Now this ties Mr. Kujo
with the Anonymous Case.
**[17:33] ---**
"You're in really deep right now. Be careful."
**[17:41] ---**
So about this Hibiya person you
gave me a call about the other day...
**[17:45] ---**
Yes. You said you didn't know
who they were, correct?
**[17:49] ---**
Yes, but I found something out after that.
**[17:53] ---**
Really?
**[17:55] ---**
It's not official, but we found this record.
**[18:01] ---**
Did Kaname find this?
**[18:05] ---**
Mr. Hibiya was a talented researcher,
**[18:08] ---**
but all of his work records
have been wiped after a certain point.
**[18:12] ---**
He's been missing ever since.
**[18:14] ---**
So right around the Anonymous Case...
**[18:17] ---**
The Anonymous Case?
**[18:19] ---**
Oh, it's nothing...
**[18:23] ---**
Also, regarding Square
that you were so interested in...
**[18:26] ---**
...he was a central figure in its development.
**[18:38] ---**
Thank you for taking the time to see us.
**[18:41] ---**
Let's cut the pleasantries.
You had something to report?
**[18:44] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[18:45] ---**
Regarding Soma Kujo,
the person we're currently scouting...
**[18:49] ---**
It's become clear that
we need to investigate him further.
**[18:55] ---**
There is a possibility that he's tied
to a drug we're currently investigating.
**[19:00] ---**
And?
**[19:02] ---**
Wouldn't it be better
to hold off on scouting him
**[19:04] ---**
until we know his involvement for sure?
**[19:07] ---**
And do you have any proof of this?
**[19:10] ---**
Nothing worth showing you yet, sir.
**[19:13] ---**
Then I'm not sure if that's
enough to make my decision.
**[19:17] ---**
But, if we were to get solid proof,
**[19:19] ---**
it would affect his reliability
in becoming a member of STAND.
**[19:26] ---**
I understand what you're trying to say.
**[19:28] ---**
But currently, the MPD
has control over all STAND matters.
**[19:32] ---**
I apologize, but this is out of my hands.
**[19:35] ---**
In that case, I'm going to go talk to the MPD.
Are you all right with that?
**[19:39] ---**
Do as you please.
**[19:47] ---**
How did it go?
**[19:48] ---**
They refused to see me.
**[19:50] ---**
I see...
**[19:52] ---**
But there's one thing that's clear now.
**[19:55] ---**
The brass is plotting something.
**[19:59] ---**
Our higher-ups know
about there being some dark,
**[20:02] ---**
drug-related rumors concerning the Kujo Family.
**[20:06] ---**
What we presented them
with today would've been enough
**[20:09] ---**
for the Ministry of Health, Labour and
Welfare to put pressure on the Kujo Family.
**[20:11] ---**
It was ideal information.
**[20:13] ---**
Not only did they not bite,
they tried to stop us, which is strange.
**[20:19] ---**
It also concerns me that
all the candidates for STAND
**[20:23] ---**
have some ties to the Anonymous Case.
**[20:27] ---**
That was bothering me a little, as well.
**[20:30] ---**
Maki, who was taken hostage
as the suspect tried to flee.
**[20:34] ---**
Makoto, who is being
questioned about the case.
**[20:37] ---**
His younger brother Kyosuke.
**[20:40] ---**
The Kujo Family, who's being
suspected to be behind all of this.
**[20:46] ---**
And Aoyama has ties with
the Aoyama Trading Company,
**[20:50] ---**
who was funding the
development of the new drug.
**[20:53] ---**
STAND is supposed to be an
agency that looks into unsolved cases.
**[20:56] ---**
In that case, it makes sense for them
to be looking into the Anonymous Case.
**[20:59] ---**
--But...
--Everything's too convenient.
**[21:04] ---**
I looked into why STAND
was created with Aoyama,
**[21:09] ---**
but we couldn't find anything.
**[21:12] ---**
There's just too little information.
**[21:14] ---**
The more we look into it,
**[21:17] ---**
the more it feels like
they're trying to hide something.
**[21:21] ---**
The one who looks completely guilty.
**[21:24] ---**
The person who believes
in him, no matter what.
**[21:27] ---**
The ones who should be on our side
become more and more mysterious.
**[21:33] ---**
The closer we get the more
the truth changes its shape,
**[21:38] ---**
confusing us even further.
**[21:41] ---**
I couldn't shake that feeling,
**[21:44] ---**
and it made me hesitate to take a step
further into the darkness in front of us.
**[23:21] ---**
I'm going to go see Mr. Arakida for a bit.
**[23:24] ---**
Sure. Tell him hi for me.
**[23:41] ---**
Come on, you know you shouldn't be in here.
**[23:45] ---**
Mr. Hattori.
**[23:47] ---**
I even gave you a fair warning,
**[23:50] ---**
but I guess you still want to poke
your nose where it doesn't belong.
**[23:55] ---**

"New drug"

(The base drug for Plus)"
**[00:16] ---**
"New drug"
"(Developed by Omori Pharmaceuticals)
(The base drug for Plus)"
Plus-0?
**[00:18] ---**
Its official name is Square.
**[00:20] ---**
In the sample photo,
there were two tablets in one set.
**[00:24] ---**
We can pretty much tell
from the reports Izumi gathered
**[00:29] ---**
that Square is what Plus was modeled after.
**[00:33] ---**
Which means we can pretty
much say that it is the new drug
**[00:38] ---**
that Omori Pharmaceuticals was developing.
**[00:39] ---**
"New drug"
"(Developed by Omori Pharmaceuticals)
(The base drug for Plus)"
that Omori Pharmaceuticals was developing.
**[00:41] ---**
If the data needed to create
Plus came from the Kujo Family...
**[00:46] ---**
Doesn't this mean we've
caught Kujo red-handed?
**[00:49] ---**
I believe in Mr. Kujo.
**[00:51] ---**
My mind won't change on that matter.
**[00:54] ---**
Miss Izumi, knowing that fact,
**[00:58] ---**
would you still be able to take my hand?
**[01:02] ---**
This is exactly why I asked
for your help, Mr. Miyase.
**[01:14] ---**
Very well. I will help you out.
**[01:21] ---**
The brass is plotting something.
**[01:25] ---**
It also concerns me that
all the candidates for STAND
**[01:28] ---**
have some ties to the Anonymous Case.
**[01:32] ---**
I looked into why STAND
was created with Aoyama,
**[01:37] ---**
but we couldn't find anything.
**[01:40] ---**
It feels like they're trying to hide something.
**[01:47] ---**
I even gave you a fair warning,
**[01:50] ---**
but I guess you still want to poke
your nose where it doesn't belong.
**[02:02] ---**
So it was you who sent
me that message, Mr. Hattori.
**[02:06] ---**
"Received Message"
"Don't get involved any further
if you don't want to die"
**[02:09] ---**
I thought I'd stopped you from getting involved,
**[02:12] ---**
but I'd never thought you'd join forces with
one of the employees from the Kujo Family.
**[02:20] ---**
And now, you've even looked into STAND.
**[02:23] ---**
Honestly, you just don't listen.
**[02:28] ---**
You want to know what STAND
is trying to do, right?
**[02:33] ---**
Yes.
**[02:36] ---**
I see.
**[02:37] ---**
In that case, you're going
to have to know more about
**[02:40] ---**
the suspect involved in the Anonymous Case.
**[02:43] ---**
Question time, Little Miss Narc.
**[02:48] ---**
What's the final destination
for justice that's gone too far?
**[02:52] ---**
Huh?
**[02:59] ---**
"Stand My Heroes"
**[04:33] ---**
Do we have an ID on her?
**[04:35] ---**
Kumi Mochizuki, 22 years old.
**[04:37] ---**
She's been staying at this
hotel for the past three days.
**[04:42] ---**
Masayoshi, look...
**[04:46] ---**
Over here.
**[04:48] ---**
The victim had some track marks on her arm.
**[04:51] ---**
--They're probably from drugs--
**[04:52] ---**
--Yeah, probably from this.
--They're probably from drugs--
**[04:56] ---**
Have forensics look at this.
**[04:59] ---**
I'll contact the chief.
**[05:05] ---**
Mr. Ida seems mad.
**[05:08] ---**
Well, this case involves drugs.
**[05:10] ---**
Oh, so that's why.
**[05:12] ---**
I heard he still can't let go of what
happened to the victim in that one incident.
**[05:18] ---**
Once upon a time a certain
detective was in Investigation Section 1.
**[05:22] ---**
His name was Masayoshi Ida.
**[05:25] ---**
He resented cases involving drugs.
**[05:30] ---**
"Seikari Hospital"
**[05:36] ---**
"Sara Tsuzuki"
**[05:39] ---**
Hey.
**[05:41] ---**
Sorry I kept you waiting.
**[05:43] ---**
It's fine.
**[05:44] ---**
The case at the hotel's been closed
because we captured the suspect.
**[05:47] ---**
We don't have any pressing matters.
**[05:50] ---**
Closed, huh?
**[05:55] ---**
You sure don't like letting go, do you?
**[06:08] ---**
If there are people suffering, I want
to protect them if they're within my reach.
**[06:14] ---**
That's my justice.
**[06:17] ---**
We should get going.
**[06:22] ---**
Ensuring there were no more victims from
drug-related crimes was Ida's lifelong ambition.
**[06:28] ---**
Though he was from a different field,
another man shared his vision.
**[06:33] ---**
His name was Yuki Hibiya.
**[06:35] ---**
Hibiya was creating a new drug at the time.
**[06:40] ---**
It was something that'd
allow them to achieve their goal,
**[06:44] ---**
so apparently, Ida was
personally supporting Hibiya.
**[06:54] ---**
To me, those two looked like great friends.
**[06:58] ---**
But then, it happened...
**[07:06] ---**
Hello?
**[07:08] ---**
I killed him.
**[07:09] ---**
Huh? Masayoshi?
**[07:11] ---**
I killed Yu.
**[07:14] ---**
You said...
**[07:17] ---**
You killed Yu?
**[07:19] ---**
Sorry.
**[07:21] ---**
Where are you right now?
**[07:23] ---**
We had the same goal.
**[07:25] ---**
Yeah, this... was a sacrifice for justice.
**[07:30] ---**
Masayoshi!
**[07:42] ---**
Yu! Yu!
**[08:06] ---**
Stay back.
**[08:22] ---**
This corpse is pretty intense.
**[08:25] ---**
Why would anyone kill someone like this?
**[08:29] ---**
The unidentified victim has now
been identified as Yuki Hibiya.
**[08:33] ---**
"Yuki Hibiya" "Masayoshi Ida"
**[08:34] ---**
"Yuki Hibiya" "Masayoshi Ida"
The suspect is Masayoshi Ida of the MPD.
**[08:36] ---**
"Yuki Hibiya" "Masayoshi Ida"
He's taken a hostage and is still on the run.
**[08:39] ---**
This case is being kept
completely quiet to the media.
**[08:43] ---**
Make sure you conduct
this investigation carefully.
**[08:53] ---**
"A Strange Corpse Found
in a Building Being Constructed"
"The Victim Has Yet to be Identified"
**[09:02] ---**
So we've got no leads...
**[09:04] ---**
We need to settle this soon.
**[09:06] ---**
I'm worried about the kid
that got taken hostage.
**[09:08] ---**
Hey, this has to be some kind of mistake, right?
**[09:11] ---**
He'd never do something
like this without reason.
**[09:14] ---**
Just don't.
**[09:17] ---**
"Yuki Hibiya" "Masayoshi Ida"
**[09:17] ---**
"Yuki Hibiya" "Masayoshi Ida"
There's been reports
that a man resembling Ida
**[09:19] ---**
"Yuki Hibiya" "Masayoshi Ida"
was spotted in a neighborhood in Kita Ward.
**[09:23] ---**
"Yuki Hibiya" "Masayoshi Ida"
It appears that he's hiding out
in an empty house in that area.
**[09:26] ---**
We're going to go capture him right now.
**[09:28] ---**
You all have clearance to take your guns.
**[09:32] ---**
Hiding out?
**[09:38] ---**
Hey, are you all right?
**[09:40] ---**
We've secured the hostage.
He appears to be unharmed.
**[09:43] ---**
Where's our target?
**[09:44] ---**
Damn it! Where'd he go?!
**[09:55] ---**
Good work.
**[10:02] ---**
Masayoshi...
**[10:13] ---**
How's the hostage?
**[10:14] ---**
He's just been taken into custody.
**[10:16] ---**
I see. I'm surprised you found me here.
**[10:20] ---**
You may have made some mistakes,
**[10:22] ---**
but you wouldn't let that
information about you be leaked.
**[10:25] ---**
It was a decoy.
**[10:27] ---**
This was the only place
that the other investigators
**[10:30] ---**
probably never would've looked.
**[10:34] ---**
So that's why you tried to find a building
that could see her hospital room.
**[10:38] ---**
Good instincts.
**[10:40] ---**
No, you're the one who
read through my intentions.
**[10:43] ---**
It didn't matter where we met
as long as you could lure me out.
**[10:48] ---**
Oh?
**[10:50] ---**
You had plenty of time to go see her.
**[10:54] ---**
If there was a reason for you to stay here,
**[10:57] ---**
it'd be me.
**[10:59] ---**
You're a junior that I'm proud of.
**[11:02] ---**
I'm sure I'm the last person
you want to hear this from, though.
**[11:06] ---**
Will you hear me out long
enough to finish a cigarette?
**[11:23] ---**
I'll start from the beginning.
**[11:25] ---**
As you know, Yu and I were trying
to rid the world of drug-related crimes.
**[11:31] ---**
And to make that happen,
we were creating that new drug.
**[11:36] ---**
Square. A new drug for justice that
would help junkies out of their addictions.
**[11:43] ---**
That was our dream.
**[11:46] ---**
If it was completed, it would've
been the first step to lessening crimes
**[11:49] ---**
and victims from drug-related incidents.
**[11:52] ---**
Yu was a genius for coming up with that.
**[11:55] ---**
Of course, I supported him.
**[12:02] ---**
Omori Pharmaceuticals
was going to produce the drug,
**[12:07] ---**
and I thought everything was going to go okay...
**[12:13] ---**
But problems arose during the clinical tests
**[12:15] ---**
and production of the drug was canceled.
**[12:16] ---**
"2 Die in a Traffic Collision"
"Two Cars Involved in an Early Morning Crash"
and production of the drug was canceled.
**[12:17] ---**
"No Sign of Braking Before Crash"
"The Driver Was Found Unconscious"
and production of the drug was canceled.
**[12:19] ---**
Though it appears that the truth
behind that has been wiped clean.
**[12:23] ---**
Yu secretly transferred the data
and continued his research
**[12:27] ---**
but then suddenly said he was quitting.
**[12:30] ---**
It was the day of that storm.
**[12:32] ---**
Why did he quit?
**[12:34] ---**
He said some bad people
had their eyes on him.
**[12:38] ---**
He said he needed
to get rid of all of the data
**[12:41] ---**
before it fell into the wrong hands.
**[12:43] ---**
He ran away. That was
the extent of his justice.
**[12:49] ---**
And that's why you killed him?
**[12:52] ---**
I told you. This was a sacrifice for justice.
**[12:57] ---**
Should a former detective
really say something like that?
**[13:04] ---**
I know that the MPD is trying
to keep this under wraps,
**[13:06] ---**
but I at least wanted you to know the truth.
**[13:14] ---**
Well, see ya.
**[13:16] ---**
Hold it!
**[13:27] ---**
Ida!
**[13:30] ---**
Sorry about this.
**[13:40] ---**
We haven't been able to find Ida ever since.
**[13:43] ---**
The police have kept the existences
of Ida and Hibiya quiet to the public,
**[13:48] ---**
and now, it's been 15 years.
**[13:54] ---**
That's the truth behind the case.
**[13:56] ---**
Now that you've heard all of this,
**[13:58] ---**
I'm sure you can figure out
the answer you've been looking for.
**[14:02] ---**
That means...
**[14:04] ---**
It's true that STAND was created
to solve unsolved crimes.
**[14:10] ---**
However, the reason that the top brass of
the MPD is prioritizing the Anonymous Case
**[14:17] ---**
is to quietly take care of the fact
that one of their own was involved
**[14:20] ---**
and make it so it never happened.
**[14:22] ---**
That's their motive?
**[14:24] ---**
It'd be a huge scandal if the public found out
**[14:27] ---**
that a detective was behind a heinous crime.
**[14:31] ---**
It doesn't happen often,
but this is pretty simple.
**[14:35] ---**
And you're leading STAND knowing all of this?
**[14:41] ---**
Does that mean...
**[14:43] ---**
Am I helping them with their coverup?
**[14:48] ---**
You're still naïve.
**[14:50] ---**
Regardless of what the brass wants done,
I have my own motive.
**[14:55] ---**
I'm going to capture Ida
and make him pay for his crimes.
**[14:58] ---**
And for that to happen, I don't mind
following some of the orders from above.
**[15:04] ---**
At least for now.
**[15:07] ---**
Is that your justice?
**[15:11] ---**
Why...
**[15:13] ---**
Why did you explain all of this
to an outsider like me?
**[15:16] ---**
Hm... I wonder why.
**[15:19] ---**
Is there something that I can do?
**[15:24] ---**
I want to get Makoto Tsuzuki to talk.
**[15:28] ---**
The reason we're somewhat forcefully
keeping him in our custody right now
**[15:34] ---**
is because he was deeply involved with Ida.
**[15:37] ---**
His younger sister, Sara Tsuzuki,
**[15:39] ---**
was a victim of an accident
caused by someone on drugs.
**[15:43] ---**
Ida was in charge of that case.
**[15:47] ---**
Even after the investigation was over,
Ida continued seeing the two brothers,
**[15:51] ---**
especially Makoto Tsuzuki, in private.
**[15:57] ---**
He should know things
about Ida we don't know,
**[16:01] ---**
and he might even know
where Ida is right now.
**[16:04] ---**
That's why you've kept him
in custody for so long?
**[16:07] ---**
But there's no guarantee that
Makoto has any information, is there?
**[16:12] ---**
He hasn't said a single thing
since being in custody.
**[16:16] ---**
Not just about Ida, but anything in general.
**[16:21] ---**
Do you really think someone who didn't
**[16:23] ---**
have any information
would keep quiet for that long?
**[16:29] ---**
Makoto Tsuzuki is hiding something.
**[16:33] ---**
But despite trying several methods,
**[16:36] ---**
we haven't been able to
get anything out of him.
**[16:38] ---**
And so...
**[16:39] ---**
Wait, is that what you want me to do?
**[16:43] ---**
I mean, this will help you
guys out, too, Little Miss Narc.
**[16:46] ---**
You're trying to find out
about Plus, aren't you?
**[16:50] ---**
Have you figured out the
base drug for that was Square,
**[16:54] ---**
which Hibiya was producing?
**[16:55] ---**
Um...
**[16:57] ---**
If you knew that, it should
speed things up even more.
**[17:00] ---**
If we can get Makoto Tsuzuki to talk,
**[17:01] ---**
we'll be even closer to
solving the Anonymous Case.
**[17:04] ---**
And if that happens, you might be able
to get more information on Square.
**[17:09] ---**
What do you mean?
**[17:11] ---**
Ida had taken a portion of
the belongings that Hibiya left behind
**[17:15] ---**
and one of the items he took was a
flash drive from Omori Pharmaceuticals.
**[17:20] ---**
It contains the research data on Square.
**[17:24] ---**
It's a special flash drive.
**[17:26] ---**
Anytime it was plugged into a computer,
**[17:28] ---**
the location where it was
plugged in would be revealed.
**[17:31] ---**
And a few years ago, we confirmed
a signal from that flash drive.
**[17:37] ---**
The signal was from
the Kujo Family household.
**[17:40] ---**
What?
**[17:46] ---**
We followed up on that lead,
**[17:48] ---**
and we found out that someone had
seen Ida near the Kujo Family household
**[17:51] ---**
when the Anonymous Case happened.
**[17:54] ---**
So I figured the bad guys that
Hibiya mentioned is the Kujo Family.
**[18:00] ---**
But that's strange. Why would
the Kujo Family have that data?
**[18:04] ---**
Regardless, Plus was created from
the data that was on that flash drive
**[18:10] ---**
and thought to be distributed
through Kujo's personal route.
**[18:14] ---**
What you want to do and
what STAND wants is connected.
**[18:19] ---**
I don't think it'd hurt
for us to work together.
**[18:25] ---**
It's true that this is all very enticing.
**[18:29] ---**
Though I'm not sure that I can be much help.
**[18:33] ---**
Look at you, being so modest.
**[18:35] ---**
Even after you managed
to tame our little Sosei.
**[18:38] ---**
Huh?
**[18:39] ---**
Not to mention, it looks like
you've gained Revel's trust, too.
**[18:42] ---**
Especially Maki's.
**[18:43] ---**
Maki?
**[18:49] ---**
I'm hoping you could do the same thing
and instantly get Makoto Tsuzuki to talk.
**[18:53] ---**
Instantly?
**[18:55] ---**
However...
**[18:57] ---**
Anything beyond this point
is extremely dangerous.
**[19:00] ---**
I can't take responsibility
if you actually end up dying.
**[19:04] ---**
Are you still prepared to do this?
**[19:08] ---**
As long as there are people suffering
from drugs, I want to save them.
**[19:13] ---**
Even if its just as far as my hands will reach.
**[19:16] ---**
I don't know if that's actually justice or not.
**[19:20] ---**
But if there's anything I can do
right now to save someone...
**[19:27] ---**
...I'm definitely ready.
**[19:32] ---**
I see. You're definitely not like them.
**[19:36] ---**
Very good.
**[19:39] ---**
Then I guess I'll make up my mind, too.
**[19:53] ---**
The final destination
for justice that's gone too far...
**[19:56] ---**
I wonder how Mr. Hattori felt dealing
with this case this whole time?
**[20:21] ---**
"Today"
"I figured out who was behind the threatening
message. Someone I know was playing
a terrible prank. Sorry for all the trouble!"
**[20:25] ---**
She's definitely hiding something.
**[20:28] ---**
Maybe.
**[20:30] ---**
"Today"
"I can't go into details, but I think
Mr. Hattori is going to help, too."
**[20:38] ---**
Hey, this is huge!
**[20:40] ---**
What's with all the ruckus?
**[20:41] ---**
I just ran into Mr. Hattori
**[20:43] ---**
and he said he was going to directly
negotiate with the upper brass.
**[20:46] ---**
Negotiate?
**[20:48] ---**
Is he finally going to go talk about
how badly these files are sorted?
**[20:53] ---**
No. He's going to have
Rei talk to Makoto Tsuzuki.
**[21:00] ---**
I see.
**[21:01] ---**
Huh? You're not surprised?
**[21:06] ---**
That just means he's
gotten serious about this.
**[21:12] ---**
What?
**[21:13] ---**
Mr. Hattori was threatening you?
**[21:16] ---**
Izumi, he didn't try anything weird, did he?
**[21:19] ---**
N-No, I'm fine.
I'm about to explain everything.
**[21:22] ---**
Izumi, I need to examine you.
Let's go right now!
**[21:25] ---**
Kotaro...
**[21:26] ---**
Is Rei okay? Looks like she's stuck
her head into something heavy.
**[21:32] ---**
I can't say that I'm not worried but...
**[21:34] ---**
But apparently Mr. Hattori's
going to support Izumi, too.
**[21:41] ---**
"You Hattori" "No Subject"
"I'm going to be involving your
newbie into our business. Thanks."
**[21:44] ---**
But to think the MPD had
something like that going on...
**[21:48] ---**
I think we're starting to see
what's really behind STAND.
**[21:54] ---**
STAND and Square...
**[21:57] ---**
The Anonymous Case.
**[21:58] ---**
All the separate pieces are
now starting to form a single shape.
**[22:04] ---**
There are only a few more
missing pieces in this puzzle.
**[22:09] ---**
That's how I felt.
**[22:12] ---**
But once all the pieces come together
**[22:17] ---**
the truth that will be revealed
might end up hurting him.

**[00:42] ---**
"Stand My Heroes"
**[02:09] ---**
I'm sorry for asking you
to meet me so early.
**[02:11] ---**
It's fine.
**[02:12] ---**
I'm the one who said that
I wanted to see you.
**[02:15] ---**
I'm sorry for making you see me before work.
**[02:18] ---**
No, no. I'm the one who asked you
to help me with all of this, so I'm sorry.
**[02:26] ---**
Is the questioning going to happen soon?
**[02:29] ---**
We're having the upper brass
of the MPD negotiate that right now.
**[02:33] ---**
We might finally find out something
about Mr. Kujo because of this.
**[02:44] ---**
This place might've been
a little lonely for us to meet.
**[02:51] ---**
Did you know that this used
to be a little amusement park?
**[02:55] ---**
I'm very aware. But there
was a huge accident here.
**[02:59] ---**
Yes. I was actually here that day.
**[03:02] ---**
Huh?
**[03:04] ---**
This place is very nostalgic to me
because my mother brought me here.
**[03:09] ---**
Though she's not with us any longer.
**[03:13] ---**
That's also why Mr. Kujo is...
**[03:19] ---**
Please don't get the wrong idea.
**[03:21] ---**
It's not like I've given up hope.
**[03:23] ---**
Thank you for being so honest with me.
**[03:26] ---**
Please don't work too hard.
**[03:29] ---**
Right.
**[03:32] ---**
Let's sort through all the information we have.
**[03:34] ---**
First, with SQUARE...
**[03:36] ---**
"Is the Kujo Family involved?"
**[03:37] ---**
"Is the Kujo Family involved?"
We're fairly certain that
this was the base drug for Plus.
**[03:40] ---**
"Is the Kujo Family involved?"
There's a possibility that
the Kujo Family who worked for
**[03:41] ---**
There's a possibility that
the Kujo Family who worked for
**[03:44] ---**
the Omori Pharmaceutical Company
is involved in its creation.
**[03:46] ---**
And then we have a key figure behind
the research for SQUARE, Yuki Hibiya.
**[03:51] ---**
Makoto Tsuduki had connections
**[03:53] ---**
with the former police officer named
Masayoshi Ida, who killed Hibiya.
**[03:56] ---**
Tsuduki is currently being held by STAND.
**[03:56] ---**
"The older brother of one of the victims"
"Makoto Tsuduki" "Knows Ida"
Tsuduki is currently being held by STAND.
**[03:59] ---**
"The older brother of one of the victims"
"Makoto Tsuduki" "Knows Ida"
We're trying to get Izumi
to meet with Tsuduki to see
**[04:02] ---**
if we can finally solve the Anonymous Case,
**[04:05] ---**
but that still hasn't happened.
**[04:08] ---**
This is pretty rough.
**[04:10] ---**
The Anonymous Case is something
that the top brass of the MPD
**[04:13] ---**
wants to do away with since one
of their own was involved.
**[04:15] ---**
If even Mr. Hattori is having trouble
negotiating, I guess all we can do is wait.
**[04:22] ---**
Kotaro.
**[04:24] ---**
Any new information on Plus?
**[04:26] ---**
Unfortunately,
**[04:28] ---**
I've basically pulled out any information
I can from the sample that we have.
**[04:32] ---**
I think the one who might be able
to provide new details right now is Imaoji.
**[04:37] ---**
You were investigating that man, weren't you?
**[04:40] ---**
Oh, the guy who had Plus?
The one Mr. Asagiri arrested.
**[04:46] ---**
He was rather stubborn,
**[04:48] ---**
but he finally started talking
about where he got Plus.
**[04:53] ---**
Apparently, he had gotten it as a sample,
**[04:57] ---**
and it'd been rumored by dealers that
**[04:59] ---**
it'll be sold in great numbers
in the black market soon.
**[05:05] ---**
Meaning there's going to be
a huge deal coming up.
**[05:09] ---**
And if Soma Kujo is involved with that,
we'd be killing two birds with one stone.
**[05:14] ---**
We could expose him on the spot.
**[05:16] ---**
That'd be a huge win for us.
**[05:18] ---**
That's easier said than done.
**[05:20] ---**
If Mr. Off-on-Time was going
to stake out the Kujo Family
**[05:24] ---**
24/7 we'd have a chance, but...
**[05:25] ---**
Please.
**[05:27] ---**
I'll bring you some
red bean buns as a snack.
**[05:37] ---**
You sure are easy to read.
**[05:40] ---**
Don't forget...
**[05:42] ---**
Go Miyase is part of the Kujo Family.
**[05:45] ---**
He might be cooperating with us,
but we're seeking different answers.
**[05:49] ---**
We don't know how he's going to act
when he gets an answer he doesn't like.
**[05:53] ---**
That's what makes him human.
**[05:55] ---**
No!
**[05:56] ---**
Mr. Miyase is very rational!
**[05:58] ---**
He understands Mr. Kujo better than
anyone and trusts him more than anything.
**[06:04] ---**
You can tell if you see him in person!
**[06:06] ---**
And that's why you're going to believe him?
**[06:09] ---**
No--
**[06:15] ---**
You need to hold back on
meeting with Miyase for a while.
**[06:19] ---**
He's just going to influence
you more and skew your view.
**[06:23] ---**
You're being biased, too, Mr. Aoyama.
**[06:27] ---**
I'm still not convinced that Mr. Kujo
is completely in the wrong here.
**[06:33] ---**
I can't believe that someone that everyone
**[06:37] ---**
from the Kujo Family looks up
to so much can be bad.
**[06:40] ---**
--So--
--I got it.
**[06:42] ---**
I got it. That's enough.
**[06:46] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[06:48] ---**
You have nothing to apologize about.
**[07:17] ---**
Well, well... What brings you two here?
**[07:21] ---**
"Hattendo"
**[07:22] ---**
"Hattendo"
You like sweets, don't you?
**[07:27] ---**
So, can I help you?
**[07:29] ---**
We heard from Izumi about
why STAND was established.
**[07:33] ---**
And the MPD's motive.
**[07:35] ---**
Oh?
**[07:37] ---**
Do you agree with the
agency's direction, Mr. Hattori?
**[07:43] ---**
What? Little Miss Narc didn't tell you?
**[07:46] ---**
I willingly involved myself with STAND.
**[07:50] ---**
What's the phrase?
"Sweeping something under the rug"?
**[07:54] ---**
Personally,
**[07:56] ---**
I'd rather have Rei stay out of
the filthy affairs of some of you adults.
**[08:03] ---**
Are you trying to say that we're the
only ones sweeping things under the rug?
**[08:08] ---**
I'm pretty sure you understand that
we have a very big common interest here,
**[08:13] ---**
considering your positions.
**[08:14] ---**
The reason the Ministry of Health,
Labour and Welfare joined STAND...
**[08:19] ---**
The Kujo Family?
**[08:21] ---**
STAND is gathering everyone
involved with the Anonymous Case.
**[08:26] ---**
Now then, where will Soma Kujo
go after the case is solved?
**[08:32] ---**
I see. If they keep him close,
the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare
**[08:36] ---**
can easily keep an eye on the Kujo Family.
**[08:39] ---**
Once the MPD is done with him,
**[08:42] ---**
they plan to pounce
on the drug trafficking ring
**[08:44] ---**
that's run by Soma Kujo and the Kujo Family.
**[08:48] ---**
That's why he was so passive
when it came to Soma Kujo.
**[08:54] ---**
There's a monster living
beyond those heavy doors.
**[08:58] ---**
That statement applies to both of us.
**[09:01] ---**
And we both happen
to have subordinates involved
**[09:04] ---**
in this shady agency our bosses created.
**[09:07] ---**
The adults really need
to pull their weight here.
**[09:11] ---**
And that's partially why I'm going
to have Little Miss Narc help out.
**[09:18] ---**
I'm counting on her.
**[09:22] ---**
Really?
**[09:24] ---**
Yes.
**[09:25] ---**
It looks like he was able
**[09:26] ---**
to get you a special meeting
with Makoto Tsuduki just once.
**[09:30] ---**
Mr. Hattori...
**[09:31] ---**
But a new problem just popped up.
**[09:35] ---**
It appears that Makoto Tsuduki
is refusing to be interviewed.
**[09:40] ---**
But apparently, this is your next move.
**[09:45] ---**
Huh?
**[10:03] ---**
Yes?
**[10:05] ---**
Kyosuke.
**[10:07] ---**
Miss Rei. I'm happy to see you again.
**[10:15] ---**
So it was you.
**[10:17] ---**
Huh?
**[10:19] ---**
Those flowers are really pretty.
**[10:23] ---**
Here.
**[10:24] ---**
Thanks.
**[10:25] ---**
No... Thank you.
**[10:30] ---**
I heard from the police.
You're going to talk to my brother, right?
**[10:35] ---**
But he doesn't seem to want to talk to me yet.
**[10:38] ---**
He can be pretty stubborn.
**[10:42] ---**
The Anonymous Case
happened 15 years ago, right?
**[10:47] ---**
Yes.
**[10:48] ---**
Back then, my brother would act
really weird every now and then.
**[10:54] ---**
Like he was waiting for someone to contact him.
**[10:58] ---**
My brother is hiding something.
**[11:01] ---**
I'm sure that he's protecting someone's secret.
**[11:05] ---**
But...
**[11:09] ---**
Miss Rei.
**[11:10] ---**
Remember when I said I'd join
STAND if you said you liked me?
**[11:14] ---**
That was something you decided for yourself!
**[11:17] ---**
Well, I'm going to change the terms a bit.
**[11:20] ---**
Huh?
**[11:22] ---**
Please, save my brother.
**[11:25] ---**
But...
**[11:27] ---**
Don't worry.
**[11:30] ---**
Just go see him.
**[11:36] ---**
Pardon me.
**[11:40] ---**
It's been a while, Makoto.
**[11:44] ---**
It appears that Kyosuke trusts you quite a bit.
**[11:49] ---**
Actually, I think it's more
that he believes in you.
**[11:57] ---**
Bro, meet with Miss Rei.
**[12:01] ---**
I want you to talk to her.
**[12:03] ---**
The flowers in Sara's room are always new.
**[12:09] ---**
With everything going on I haven't
been able to visit her much,
**[12:14] ---**
but there are always
fresh new flowers in her room.
**[12:19] ---**
I'm pretty sure Miss Rei is the only person
**[12:23] ---**
looking out for us and Sara right now.
**[12:28] ---**
I'll never ask you for
anything again. Please trust her.
**[12:35] ---**
I've always been a sucker
for his requests like that.
**[12:40] ---**
This was something I was
planning on taking to my grave.
**[12:47] ---**
Let's begin.
**[12:57] ---**
Masayoshi Ida was the officer
in charge of Sara's case.
**[13:03] ---**
After we were told that the case had been solved
as just being caused by someone using drugs,
**[13:07] ---**
no one cared anymore.
**[13:10] ---**
But he was always looking after us.
**[13:14] ---**
He didn't forget about our family.
**[13:18] ---**
But then suddenly,
Masayoshi Ida stopped coming to see us.
**[13:24] ---**
Then I found out about the Anonymous Case.
**[13:29] ---**
I... thought that he might be the suspect.
**[13:34] ---**
Because I gave him something
the last day that we saw each other.
**[13:38] ---**
Something?
**[13:40] ---**
An unfinished novel I'd been working on.
**[13:44] ---**
A picaresque novel?
**[13:46] ---**
Yes. It's the confessions of a murderer.
**[13:49] ---**
I'm surprised you wanted to show me a novel
**[13:52] ---**
about a police officer committing a murder.
**[13:54] ---**
I wasn't trying to imply anything.
**[13:58] ---**
This police officer lost someone they loved.
**[14:01] ---**
That's why they're out for revenge.
**[14:05] ---**
I also feel that if the person who did
this to Sara were to appear before me...
**[14:12] ---**
If I could think up
the perfect crime in my head...
**[14:17] ---**
Then I might just...
**[14:19] ---**
The protagonist in this story is me.
**[14:22] ---**
That's why I stopped him...
Because he chose the wrong path.
**[14:26] ---**
I don't know about that.
**[14:28] ---**
Huh?
**[14:29] ---**
Murder can be justice.
**[14:31] ---**
Those who have complicated justice
can believe that they're doing the right thing.
**[14:36] ---**
That's what that novel was about.
**[14:39] ---**
This might just sound like
the ramblings of an arrogant writer,
**[14:43] ---**
but I can't help but think about it.
**[14:46] ---**
That maybe that's what sent
Masayoshi Ida over the edge.
**[14:50] ---**
That I was the one who'd
made him into a criminal.
**[14:56] ---**
Have you seen him since?
**[14:58] ---**
Did he contact you?
**[15:01] ---**
Just once.
**[15:04] ---**
He apologized for not being able
to return my unfinished novel.
**[15:08] ---**
And he praised me, saying that the conclusion
that I'd come up with was a good one.
**[15:15] ---**
The conclusion... What happens
to the protagonist police officer?
**[15:21] ---**
He chooses to end his life.
**[15:23] ---**
In the final chapter,
the protagonist is already dead.
**[15:27] ---**
You could consider this book
his last will and testament.
**[15:31] ---**
That's what I was planning at least.
**[15:33] ---**
Then...
**[15:38] ---**
You have no new information on him?
**[15:41] ---**
Correct.
**[15:42] ---**
Since he's been on the run,
the only thing we know
**[15:45] ---**
is that he has a keepsake
belonging to the victim, Mr. Hibiya,
**[15:47] ---**
and was visiting some place.
**[15:51] ---**
Some place?
**[15:53] ---**
It's rather perplexing.
**[15:55] ---**
I'm pretty sure he didn't want
Mr. Hibiya's keepsake to end up there.
**[16:01] ---**
Makoto, do you have any ideas?
**[16:05] ---**
It doesn't matter how
insignificant you think it may be.
**[16:09] ---**
Keepsake...
**[16:11] ---**
Back then, right before we hung up,
**[16:15] ---**
I heard him whisper something.
**[16:17] ---**
Like he was relieved.
**[16:20] ---**
"Don't worry. I..."
**[16:23] ---**
I gave it to the child.
**[16:26] ---**
The child...?
**[16:29] ---**
A child?
**[16:32] ---**
Fifteen years ago... It couldn't be...
**[16:40] ---**
"Go Miyase"
**[16:44] ---**
You need to hold back on
meeting with Miyase for a while.
**[16:50] ---**
What are you whimpering about?
**[16:53] ---**
Kaname.
**[16:55] ---**
Are you here to see Go again?
**[16:57] ---**
He said he was going out today.
**[16:59] ---**
Oh, no... I came to see Mr. Kujo today.
**[17:03] ---**
Why don't you come in?
**[17:04] ---**
Huh? Um...
**[17:06] ---**
He's probably out in the garden at this hour.
**[17:09] ---**
I'm just leading you there.
**[17:11] ---**
You should leave if he's not there though.
**[17:15] ---**
Thank you.
**[17:16] ---**
It seems like Go trusts you.
**[17:19] ---**
You're not a bad person, are you, Miss?
**[17:30] ---**
Oh, yeah. You looked into a few
more things the other day, didn't you?
**[17:35] ---**
You really helped me out.
**[17:36] ---**
Thank you.
**[17:37] ---**
Looked into things?
**[17:39] ---**
What do you mean?
I don't know what you're talking about.
**[17:41] ---**
Huh?
**[17:42] ---**
Forget about that night.
I'll forget about it, too.
**[18:01] ---**
Are you still not feeling well?
**[18:05] ---**
I'm fine.
**[18:09] ---**
Do you garden as well, Mr. Kujo?
**[18:13] ---**
No.
**[18:14] ---**
Oh, Mr. Miyase takes care
of this garden, doesn't he?
**[18:18] ---**
It seems very important to him.
**[18:21] ---**
Mr. Miyase must really like this place...
**[18:29] ---**
I don't garden,
**[18:31] ---**
but I did send flowers to someone, just once.
**[18:35] ---**
I believe they were called kalanchoe.
**[18:37] ---**
Kalanchoe? What kind of flowers are those?
**[18:41] ---**
I wasn't around for when it bloomed.
**[18:43] ---**
I just looked through an encyclopedia
and chose the one that caught my eye.
**[18:53] ---**
Mr. Kujo.
**[18:55] ---**
We've uncovered details
about a drug called Plus.
**[19:00] ---**
There are rumors that it's
about to be sold on the black market.
**[19:06] ---**
Do you happen to know someone
who's going to be involved with this deal?
**[19:11] ---**
Why are you asking me that?
**[19:13] ---**
I have no idea.
**[19:15] ---**
I have nothing to do with this Plus.
**[19:19] ---**
So you personally?
**[19:21] ---**
Then what about as someone
from the Kujo Family?
**[19:23] ---**
For example?
**[19:25] ---**
A while back, someone
named Yuki Hibiya was working
**[19:28] ---**
on the creation of a new drug
at Omori Pharmaceuticals.
**[19:32] ---**
There's a possibility that
the base drug for Plus was that.
**[19:36] ---**
There are clues showing that
the data Omori Pharmaceuticals lost
**[19:39] ---**
on that drug ended up here.
**[19:47] ---**
I see.
**[19:49] ---**
Now I know why you stopped by today.
**[19:52] ---**
But you're far too careless.
**[19:56] ---**
You disclosed all that information to
someone you suspect might be involved.
**[20:00] ---**
Of course, I'm not going to admit to anything.
**[20:04] ---**
I'm sure you thought that you might've gotten
through to some of the people here
**[20:07] ---**
with whatever you consider is justice,
but that won't work on me.
**[20:13] ---**
That's not what I was trying to--
**[20:14] ---**
Correct. That might not be your intention.
**[20:19] ---**
And yet, you are causing trouble here.
**[20:22] ---**
That's why I said you were thoughtless.
**[20:28] ---**
You should probably leave.
**[20:30] ---**
I'm sure you don't want
to make Kaname look bad.
**[20:34] ---**
Please excuse me.
**[20:43] ---**
I'm back.
**[20:45] ---**
Sorry I'm late. I'll prepare dinner immediately.
**[20:50] ---**
That one lady was here.
**[20:54] ---**
Though it looks like she just
chatted with Mr. Kujo a bit then left.
**[21:10] ---**
"Go Miyase"
**[21:11] ---**
"Go Miyase"
Mr. Miyase?
**[21:13] ---**
Hello, this is Izumi.
**[21:15] ---**
I'm sorry to call you out of the blue, but I...
**[21:18] ---**
Is something wrong?
**[21:20] ---**
Mr. Kujo is gone.
**[21:23] ---**
What?
**[21:23] ---**
He left completely alone without
anyone from the house to escort him.
**[21:27] ---**
I wasn't sure if I should tell you, but...
**[21:32] ---**
Miss Izumi, please...
**[21:34] ---**
Please stop Mr. Kujo.
**[21:38] ---**
"Thank you for your hard work. I received your
message. I want to move things along a bit faster.
Could we meet tonight?" "Soma Kujo"
Mr. Kujo could be...
**[21:44] ---**
I wanted to find out more about the man
**[21:47] ---**
who showed me such a
gentle profile for the first time.
**[21:51] ---**
What is he thinking?
Who is he thinking about?
**[21:56] ---**
What lies beyond that are the
smiles of those who care for him.
**[22:01] ---**
That's what I felt.
**[22:08] ---**
But...
**[22:12] ---**
...I still don't know that answer.

**[00:20] ---**
"Received message"
"Rei Izumi"
"No subject"
**[00:22] ---**
"There is a possibility that Soma Kujo
is heading towards a drug deal.
We intend to make a move as soon
as we get clearance from above."
**[00:37] ---**
What do you mean?
**[00:40] ---**
We can't get a warrant?
**[00:42] ---**
We were declined,
saying there wasn't enough proof.
**[00:45] ---**
Whether that's true or not, overturning
this decision would be difficult.
**[00:50] ---**
We'll just have to catch him in the act.
**[00:53] ---**
We need to sneak into the deal site
and confiscate the goods.
**[00:56] ---**
Mr. Seki...
**[00:58] ---**
I'll take responsibility on this.
**[01:00] ---**
First, we need to find out
where this deal is going to take place.
**[01:08] ---**
Who the hell are you guys?
**[01:10] ---**
I'm Yui from the Ministry of Health, Labour
and Welfare's DCD Investigations Department.
**[01:15] ---**
And I'm Natsume from the same department.
**[01:17] ---**
We are trying to track down
Soma Kujo regarding an urgent matter.
**[01:21] ---**
Wha?
**[01:22] ---**
Like we're gonna let you see him!
**[01:24] ---**
Wait.
**[01:25] ---**
Track him down? Is Kujo not here?
**[01:33] ---**
What the hell?
**[01:47] ---**
"Stand My Heroes"
**[03:17] ---**
It's no use. I can't
get a hold of Hiyama.
**[03:20] ---**
I see.
**[03:22] ---**
"I got information that Mr. Kujo
is going to be involved in a deal"
**[03:23] ---**
"I got information that Mr. Kujo
is going to be involved in a deal"
Any trouble that happens to us personally
will be taken care of us personally.
**[03:27] ---**
Any trouble that happens to us personally
will be taken care of us personally.
**[03:28] ---**
That's our rule.
**[03:31] ---**
I mean, things would be different
if he just said this time was an exception.
**[03:43] ---**
"Just to let you know,
we can't get a hold of Hiyama."
**[03:48] ---**
Izumi.
**[03:51] ---**
Did you find anything out?
**[03:53] ---**
We took a look at Soma Kujo's PC.
**[03:56] ---**
He's meeting with the
supposed buyer at midnight.
**[04:01] ---**
The location will be the sixth warehouse
at the wharf in Minami Ward.
**[04:04] ---**
Midnight...
**[04:05] ---**
We don't have that much time!
**[04:08] ---**
Let's hurry!
**[04:09] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[04:20] ---**
That must be it.
**[04:22] ---**
Let's go.
**[04:26] ---**
Wow, you really did show up.
**[04:36] ---**
Everyone!
**[04:37] ---**
Are you sure about this? Weren't you
told to stay put by your higher-ups?
**[04:41] ---**
Well, we have a very reliable boss.
**[04:46] ---**
Oh?
**[04:48] ---**
What brings you here?
**[04:50] ---**
Does it look like we came here to play?
**[04:52] ---**
Sadly, we don't have
that much time on our hands.
**[04:55] ---**
Then why don't you hurry up
and take care of your business?
**[04:58] ---**
STAND operates under its own jurisdiction.
**[05:02] ---**
Unlike you, we have
the option to move around freely.
**[05:08] ---**
Does that mean that you'll help us?
**[05:11] ---**
At least for today, Little Miss Narc.
**[05:28] ---**
Izumi, you take the front.
**[05:29] ---**
Arakida, I need you to watch over there.
**[05:31] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[05:41] ---**
Izumi.
**[05:43] ---**
Mr. Arakida.
**[05:44] ---**
There doesn't seem to be anyone over here.
**[05:46] ---**
I think you're right.
**[05:57] ---**
Right over there.
**[05:59] ---**
That's Takaomi Hiyama and Soma Kujo.
**[06:07] ---**
The others have taken their positions.
**[06:09] ---**
Let's go!
**[06:29] ---**
Well, that was a rather dramatic entrance.
**[06:32] ---**
Can we help you gentlemen?
**[06:34] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[06:36] ---**
I don't feel the need to explain that to you.
**[06:39] ---**
So you're going to stay silent.
**[06:40] ---**
Then we'll just have to go through
your things. I'm sure you won't mind.
**[06:48] ---**
Do as you wish.
**[06:59] ---**
Pardon me.
**[07:16] ---**
I'm not sure what you're looking for,
but you're wasting your time.
**[07:20] ---**
You won't find what you're looking for.
**[07:22] ---**
Is that so?
**[07:24] ---**
We know about the
Kujo Family's drug trafficking route.
**[07:28] ---**
Weren't you going to conduct a deal today?
**[07:32] ---**
If that's not the case, could you
please explain what you were doing?
**[07:36] ---**
Now that this many people are involved,
regardless of if we find anything or not,
**[07:40] ---**
we're going to have to
report this to the people above.
**[07:43] ---**
I'm sure things will get rather inconvenient
**[07:44] ---**
for you two if you don't clear your names.
**[07:47] ---**
Though I'm sure that you're aware of that.
**[07:49] ---**
You mean that you're going
to make things inconvenient for us.
**[07:54] ---**
We came here to meet with someone.
**[07:58] ---**
Though they probably won't show up now.
**[08:01] ---**
In a place like this?
**[08:03] ---**
That was their request.
**[08:05] ---**
What's the purpose of
this meeting? Who are they?
**[08:08] ---**
The man was one of the attendants
to Soichiro Kujo, my predecessor.
**[08:14] ---**
I wanted to get more information on Plus.
**[08:19] ---**
We're not the ones who
distributed Plus this time around
**[08:22] ---**
but it's very similar to the drug
that my predecessor was involved with.
**[08:27] ---**
Does that mean...
**[08:29] ---**
So it's the Plus that
previously made the rounds.
**[08:32] ---**
That was an unfortunate legacy
that my predecessor left behind.
**[08:34] ---**
I wanted to find out where it was coming
from immediately and take care of it.
**[08:39] ---**
Take care of it?
**[08:40] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[08:42] ---**
You mean that you weren't benefiting from it?
**[08:44] ---**
Don't underestimate me.
**[08:46] ---**
I haven't fallen so far
that I need to rely on that thing.
**[08:49] ---**
What?
**[08:51] ---**
The last one to care so much
about these drugs is my predecessor.
**[08:56] ---**
They are no longer needed for the Kujo Family.
**[08:59] ---**
I plan to make amends for it
during my time as the head.
**[09:04] ---**
It's true.
**[09:05] ---**
That's why Kujo was trying
**[09:07] ---**
to find out about all the
evil deeds his predecessors did.
**[09:12] ---**
I've been helping him out, as well.
**[09:14] ---**
In that case, why didn't you say anything?
**[09:17] ---**
If you just explained everything,
you wouldn't have been a suspect...
**[09:21] ---**
My goal is not to make the truth known.
**[09:25] ---**
The reason I sought the truth is
in order to protect the Kujo Family.
**[09:30] ---**
I don't expect your understanding.
**[09:33] ---**
It doesn't matter at all if you
believe everything I just said or not.
**[09:38] ---**
But there's not a single reason
that I should be apprehended here.
**[09:46] ---**
...matter.
**[09:49] ---**
But it does matter.
**[09:57] ---**
Mr. Aoyama.
**[09:59] ---**
What is it?
**[10:06] ---**
Plus!
**[10:08] ---**
Huh?
**[10:12] ---**
I see.
**[10:14] ---**
So I was resented after all.
**[10:21] ---**
What do you mean we can't see him?
**[10:24] ---**
We found drugs in Mr. Kujo's car.
**[10:28] ---**
He and Mr. Hiyama, who was also at
the scene, are currently being questioned.
**[10:33] ---**
We can't allow you to see him until that's over.
**[10:36] ---**
Mr. Kujo would never do that!
**[10:38] ---**
Are you sure he wasn't framed?
**[10:42] ---**
We believe that is a possibility.
**[10:47] ---**
What?
**[10:48] ---**
Uh, we're supposed
to keep that on the down low.
**[10:50] ---**
And if that's the case,
we'll find the true suspect, no matter what.
**[10:54] ---**
I know that you're worried,
**[10:57] ---**
but please, leave this to us.
**[11:02] ---**
So we know how you feel, but what does
**[11:04] ---**
the Ministry of Health, Labour
and Welfare think about this?
**[11:07] ---**
Considering everything we've seen so far,
**[11:09] ---**
it's hard to believe that
Kujo will get fair judgment.
**[11:13] ---**
Can we really leave this in your hands?
**[11:25] ---**
How'd it go?
**[11:27] ---**
The way we found the Plus-like drugs
seems a bit too open and unnatural.
**[11:32] ---**
I said that there was a possibility
that it was planted on them,
**[11:35] ---**
but they wouldn't listen.
**[11:37] ---**
Well, that's not surprising.
**[11:39] ---**
The Ministry of Health,
Labour and Welfare and the MPD
**[11:41] ---**
had an agreement
to let Kujo swim for a while,
**[11:46] ---**
but they're going to have to shift directions now
considering how big this matter's gotten.
**[11:52] ---**
By having an important witness to
the Anonymous Case like Kujo in their hands
**[11:57] ---**
they can cause a coverup so
that none of this information gets out.
**[12:00] ---**
I guess the reason doesn't
really matter to them.
**[12:03] ---**
At this rate, even if there is another suspect,
**[12:07] ---**
Kujo's going to take the rap for it.
**[12:09] ---**
So...
**[12:11] ---**
What are you planning to do?
**[12:15] ---**
I got the component analysis back.
**[12:20] ---**
What we confiscated is without a doubt Plus.
**[12:25] ---**
Now the problem is figuring out
if it really was Mr. Kujo who had those
**[12:30] ---**
in his possession or not.
**[12:32] ---**
I don't think he did.
**[12:36] ---**
I mean, you said that to the Kujo Family, too,
**[12:40] ---**
but there's no point in giving them false hope.
**[12:42] ---**
That's not what I'm trying to do.
**[12:44] ---**
Now, now.
**[12:45] ---**
So, Natsume, you're going
to vote that it was Kujo's.
**[12:51] ---**
Well...
**[12:52] ---**
I mean, I don't think someone
we've been investigating so long
**[12:56] ---**
could really meet such a clumsy end, but...
**[13:00] ---**
Yes. Considering everything
that happened at the warehouse
**[13:03] ---**
I thought that it was very
possible he was in the clear.
**[13:06] ---**
What about you, Sosei?
**[13:08] ---**
I only have a guess, so I can't say for sure.
**[13:12] ---**
What about you?
**[13:17] ---**
If he isn't guilty,
I wonder who tried to frame him.
**[13:21] ---**
It looked like Mr. Kujo
knew who it could've been.
**[13:25] ---**
Currently the biggest suspect could
be the one he was waiting to meet.
**[13:30] ---**
Wait a sec.
**[13:32] ---**
You're saying frame him
like he's the victim here,
**[13:35] ---**
but even if he's innocent
with this investigation
**[13:37] ---**
the Kujo Family has a pretty shady history.
**[13:39] ---**
Well, Kujo admitted to that, too.
**[13:42] ---**
Then something's definitely off.
**[13:44] ---**
Isn't it dangerous to
just take his word on this?
**[13:49] ---**
Even then, I don't think that he's lying.
**[13:56] ---**
So you're going with your gut, huh?
**[14:01] ---**
We need to carefully make this decision.
**[14:04] ---**
We're dealing with *the* Soma Kujo.
**[14:09] ---**
So that car is how you usually get around?
**[14:13] ---**
Correct.
**[14:14] ---**
It wouldn't be easy for a third party
to access it, but it's not impossible.
**[14:18] ---**
Do you have an idea on who
may have planted the drugs on you?
**[14:21] ---**
I have plenty of people who may
hate me or hold a grudge against me.
**[14:30] ---**
If you keep up this attitude, I'm going
to have to arrest you tomorrow morning.
**[14:36] ---**
Wouldn't that be rather convenient for you?
**[14:41] ---**
You seem to understand, so this won't take long.
**[14:44] ---**
It's true that I couldn't care less if you're
**[14:49] ---**
actually innocent or not in this case.
**[14:52] ---**
Regardless, I don't believe
you're squeaky clean.
**[14:55] ---**
Even if you're not dirtying
your hands personally.
**[14:58] ---**
You accepted the secret along
with being the head of the family.
**[15:03] ---**
I'm not going to let you say
that you're completely innocent.
**[15:07] ---**
You said that you were going
to protect the Kujo Family, didn't you?
**[15:10] ---**
Do you really understand
what it means to make amends?
**[15:14] ---**
Do you truly understand?
**[15:17] ---**
How many businesses and enterprises we have?
**[15:22] ---**
If the Kujo Family is shaken,
**[15:23] ---**
there's going to be some kind of
ripple effect to this country's economy.
**[15:27] ---**
Protecting the Kujo Family means
protecting everyone working under that name.
**[15:33] ---**
Even if it may be considered
taboo to the rest of society,
**[15:36] ---**
I plan to do my job as the head of the family.
**[15:40] ---**
Are you saying that's more
important than trying to make
**[15:44] ---**
things right with the victims?
**[15:46] ---**
Correct.
**[15:48] ---**
This is my resolve.
The justice I must see through.
**[15:59] ---**
Setting everything else aside,
**[16:02] ---**
and just simply thinking
about just what happened today
**[16:05] ---**
I think we can all agree that there's
a high possibility that he was framed.
**[16:11] ---**
If we set everything else aside, yes.
**[16:13] ---**
Then should we let him go?
**[16:15] ---**
I mean, keeping him here
would be an option, too.
**[16:19] ---**
It's a chance to find out about
his other possible crimes, too.
**[16:21] ---**
This could be pretty beneficial to STAND.
**[16:25] ---**
I guess that is an option.
**[16:27] ---**
But then wouldn't the truth get twisted?
**[16:32] ---**
I mean, you've got a point.
**[16:35] ---**
What about you?
**[16:37] ---**
Why are you so intent
on protecting Kujo so much?
**[16:42] ---**
I'm very aware that he
could be involved with the drugs
**[16:46] ---**
and that it would be
beneficial to keep him here.
**[16:51] ---**
Mr. Kujo might not be completely in the clear.
**[16:54] ---**
But I'm sure that he has
his own sense of justice.
**[16:59] ---**
I think he's just trying
to see his justice through.
**[17:04] ---**
Just like us.
**[17:07] ---**
Mr. Kujo's justice is different than ours.
I'm not going to argue about that.
**[17:13] ---**
But if someone who is just believing
in his own justice just like we do
**[17:20] ---**
is being blamed for
something that he didn't do,
**[17:24] ---**
I can't just let that slide.
**[17:28] ---**
My justice isn't to turn something
right into something wrong.
**[17:32] ---**
Just like Mr. Imaoji said,
if the truth keeps getting twisted,
**[17:37] ---**
we might lose something important.
**[17:41] ---**
That's the last thing I want to do.
**[17:44] ---**
Jeez, you're smothering. You know that?
**[17:48] ---**
You really are, Rei.
**[17:50] ---**
But that's necessary.
**[17:53] ---**
Especially with this job.
**[17:55] ---**
Yes.
**[17:59] ---**
Going after the suspect is a detective's job.
**[18:01] ---**
I'm not going to argue with that.
**[18:03] ---**
So basically,
**[18:05] ---**
we decided to go catch
the person who's actually behind this.
**[18:09] ---**
Well, aren't you a lively bunch.
**[18:13] ---**
Mr. Hattori.
**[18:15] ---**
Mr. Seki, Mr. Watabe!
**[18:17] ---**
Good work, everyone.
**[18:19] ---**
Well, you heard what the kids said.
**[18:22] ---**
I hope you'll clean up
this mess later, Watanabe.
**[18:26] ---**
It's Watabe.
**[18:27] ---**
Are you really getting
my name wrong right now?
**[18:30] ---**
Well, you can let me deal
with the pesky monster.
**[18:36] ---**
Here on out, STAND and the DCD
will be working together as a team.
**[18:42] ---**
Our motive is to arrest
the suspect who framed Soma Kujo.
**[18:47] ---**
You aren't going home until we catch them.
**[18:49] ---**
Just keep that in mind.
**[18:51] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[18:52] ---**
Now, then. The night is long,
so should I go get us something to eat?
**[18:57] ---**
The only thing open right now is a
convenience store, but what would you like?
**[19:00] ---**
Thank you for your kindness.
**[19:02] ---**
Then I'd like a caramel macchiato
with an extra shot. Oh, and make it soy, please.
**[19:06] ---**
Something filling, that includes glucose,
and that I can eat with one hand.
**[19:12] ---**
Wait, is that a riddle?
**[19:14] ---**
Are we allowed to request anything right now?
**[19:18] ---**
Yeah, sure. Just remember,
I'm going to a convenience store.
**[19:23] ---**
Is this what the DCD is usually like?
**[19:28] ---**
No, this is much more reassuring than usual.
**[19:31] ---**
First, we should try to find this person
who was the former attendant.
**[19:35] ---**
Good point...
**[19:36] ---**
Apparently, they're already looking into it.
**[19:38] ---**
"Today"
"I'd like you to get more
information on this person"
**[19:41] ---**
I guess this former attendant
really didn't want to be found.
**[19:46] ---**
There's so little information
that it's going to take some time.
**[19:51] ---**
You know you're happy
that they're relying on you.
**[19:54] ---**
Well, that goes for you, too, Hatori!
**[19:55] ---**
Yeah.
**[20:08] ---**
Hello?
**[20:09] ---**
Miss.
**[20:10] ---**
Kaname?
**[20:11] ---**
I'm sorry to call you at this hour,
**[20:13] ---**
but have you heard from Go?
**[20:15] ---**
He's not at the house.
**[20:16] ---**
What?
**[20:18] ---**
He's been acting weird ever since
we heard that Mr. Kujo's been arrested.
**[20:23] ---**
Then there's that night...
It's been bugging me.
**[20:27] ---**
Okay. I'll be--
**[20:36] ---**
Miss?
**[20:41] ---**
Mr. Aoyama.
**[20:44] ---**
May I leave for a little while?
**[20:47] ---**
What happened?
**[20:49] ---**
Mr. Miyase is missing.
**[20:51] ---**
Please allow me to go look for him.
**[20:54] ---**
Should that really take priority right now?
**[20:58] ---**
Well, I'm the one who'd asked for his help.
**[21:01] ---**
And if that ended up
making him feel trapped...
**[21:06] ---**
I can't just leave him alone.
**[21:10] ---**
So...
**[21:11] ---**
All right.
**[21:13] ---**
Go.
**[21:16] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[21:22] ---**
We wanted to protect something.
**[21:25] ---**
We wanted to save someone.
**[21:29] ---**
We hesitated countless times
and even stumbled.
**[21:31] ---**
But even then, we keep running
while believing in our sense of justice.
**[21:37] ---**
I don't know the right answer,
**[21:40] ---**
but I don't regret the fact
that that's how I got here.
**[21:44] ---**
No matter
**[21:46] ---**
what conclusion may await me.
**[23:22] ---**
What...
**[23:26] ---**
He's dead?
**[23:28] ---**
We just received word from Revel.
**[23:31] ---**
Apparently, whoever's
behind this did a great job
**[23:33] ---**
committing forgery, but we were right.
**[23:35] ---**
The actual suspect had disguised themselves
**[23:39] ---**
as the former attendant
and got closer to Soma Kujo.
**[23:42] ---**
But that seems like a really
roundabout way of doing this.
**[23:45] ---**
They went through all this trouble,
**[23:47] ---**
but if we hadn't shown up,
it would've been for nothing.
**[23:52] ---**
Wait, where did we even get the
information about the deal tonight?

"Compose"
"Soma Kujo"
"No Subject"
**[00:43] ---**
"Stand My Heroes"
**[00:58] ---**
Ever since I could remember,
she was the only one I had.
**[01:06] ---**
Even though we lived in a detached house
**[01:08] ---**
on the Kujo Family property
since my mother worked for them,
**[01:11] ---**
I never questioned it when I was little.
**[01:15] ---**
My mother was a kind person.
**[01:19] ---**
But whenever my father was mentioned,
she gave a sad smile and change the subject.
**[01:24] ---**
Even though I was a child,
I knew I shouldn't ask about him.
**[01:34] ---**
As I got older, I started to look
like someone else to my mother.
**[01:41] ---**
Gradually, she became more
and more depressed and lifeless.
**[01:46] ---**
Finally, she was discharged from her position
**[01:50] ---**
and she just shut herself off in her room.
**[01:53] ---**
I was a child who could only watch as
**[01:56] ---**
something very precious
to me gradually broke.
**[02:00] ---**
And then, one night...
**[02:04] ---**
If you can't give this to your mom,
I need you to hold on to it.
**[02:08] ---**
I'm sure he'd be relieved
knowing her son had this.
**[02:12] ---**
He?
**[02:15] ---**
Hold on to this for me.
**[02:28] ---**
Someone wanted me to give this to you.
**[02:35] ---**
I'm sorry... I'm sorry...
**[02:40] ---**
Mom...
**[02:53] ---**
How sad that his mother abandoned him.
**[02:56] ---**
But she was mentally ill, wasn't she?
**[02:59] ---**
"I'm sorry, Go"
I guess it's not surprising.
**[03:11] ---**
After being taken in by the Kujo Family,
I just wasn't able to fit in.
**[03:16] ---**
But he... was the only one
who warmly accepted me.
**[03:23] ---**
"Pansies"
**[03:24] ---**
"Cosmos"
**[03:30] ---**
Why...
**[03:35] ---**
Why...
**[03:40] ---**
You can use this place however you'd like.
**[03:42] ---**
Are you sure? This place belongs
to your family, doesn't it?
**[03:46] ---**
Yes. And that's exactly why it's fine.
**[03:50] ---**
Because you're a part of this family, as well.
**[03:57] ---**
Why...
**[03:59] ---**
Why would you go that far for me?
**[04:02] ---**
This family has a secret.
**[04:05] ---**
A secret that I can never escape from.
**[04:08] ---**
Everyone in this household knows that.
**[04:13] ---**
But that's not the case for you.
**[04:18] ---**
The closer I got to him, the more
I understood what he was talking about.
**[04:24] ---**
The dark rumors
surrounding the Kujo Family...
**[04:27] ---**
The police, DCD, and the law basically
kept a watchful eye on the Kujo Family.
**[04:36] ---**
It appeared as though he was troubled over
**[04:38] ---**
the fact that he'd have
to take over the family someday.
**[04:41] ---**
If I could help him...
**[04:45] ---**
If I could support him just
by being close to him...
**[04:48] ---**
If I would suffice, I'd be his family...
**[04:53] ---**
At some point, I started feeling that way.
**[05:02] ---**
"Funeral of Soichiro Kujo"
**[05:07] ---**
That child of that Miyase woman...
**[05:11] ---**
I wonder what they're going to do about him.
**[05:14] ---**
Well, it's not like he needs
to get any of the inheritance.
**[05:17] ---**
He's just his mistress's child.
**[05:21] ---**
We were kind enough to basically raise
a complete stranger up to this point.
**[05:25] ---**
What more could he want?
**[05:28] ---**
Go.
**[05:56] ---**
Apparently, these things belonged
to someone named Yuki Hibiya.
**[05:59] ---**
"Yuki Hibiya"
Apparently, these things belonged
to someone named Yuki Hibiya.
**[06:02] ---**
My mother wrote out an apology
and her agony in that letter.
**[06:06] ---**
The two were in love.
**[06:09] ---**
But Soichiro Kujo tore them apart.
**[06:13] ---**
Why did I never realize it?
**[06:15] ---**
My mother was always
frightened of the remnants
**[06:19] ---**
of this man that she saw within me.
**[06:25] ---**
The Kujo Family...
**[06:27] ---**
Their filthy inheritance and dark authority...
**[06:31] ---**
They humiliated my mother
and took her happiness away.
**[06:35] ---**
Soma Kujo knew all of this
and was lying to me this whole time.
**[06:40] ---**
I'll make him pay.
**[06:43] ---**
No matter what.
**[06:52] ---**
"Itsuki Aoyama"
**[06:53] ---**
"Itsuki Aoyama"
Mr. Aoyama...
**[06:55] ---**
Are you safe, Izumi?
**[06:57] ---**
Mr. Aoyama? Am I safe?
**[06:59] ---**
We know who's behind all of this now.
**[07:02] ---**
The one who framed Soma Kujo is Go Miyase.
**[07:05] ---**
Wha...
**[07:06] ---**
Where are you right now?
You haven't made contact with Miyase yet?
**[07:09] ---**
Izumi!
**[07:11] ---**
C-Currently I'm--
**[07:14] ---**
Izumi? Izumi!
**[07:17] ---**
Mr. Aoyama!
**[07:20] ---**
So you came after all.
**[07:23] ---**
You always do the unexpected.
**[07:27] ---**
Mr. Miyase?
**[07:38] ---**
Ms. Izumi?
**[07:39] ---**
We're apparently going to continue
questioning the Kujo Family.
**[07:42] ---**
If we can get more information about Miyase,
**[07:45] ---**
we might be able to
figure out where Rei went.
**[07:48] ---**
Mr. Arakida will handle things over here.
**[07:50] ---**
Mr. Asagiri, if you'd handle the blonde guy.
**[07:54] ---**
He's about to bite Mr. Imaoji's head off.
**[07:58] ---**
All right.
**[08:04] ---**
"Received Messages"
"Go Miyase"
"No Subject"
**[08:09] ---**
How did you know I'd be here?
**[08:11] ---**
The last time we met here,
you said it was very important to you.
**[08:19] ---**
This place is very special for me, as well.
**[08:24] ---**
Just remembering that terrifying
incident makes my knees weak.
**[08:28] ---**
I was there, as well.
**[08:32] ---**
Among all of the confusion,
there was a boy who reached out to me.
**[08:39] ---**
I'm sure he was also shocked,
considering the horrible situation,
**[08:44] ---**
but he was still able to reach
his hand out to someone.
**[08:47] ---**
I wanted to be like him, too.
**[08:52] ---**
We're fighting so that awful
tragedy never happens again.
**[08:57] ---**
Even if our definition of justice is different,
**[08:59] ---**
Mr. Kujo is fighting for someone, too.
**[09:04] ---**
You should know that better than anyone else!
**[09:07] ---**
And yet... Why, Mr. Miyase?
**[09:11] ---**
Indeed. I know Mr. Kujo very well.
**[09:17] ---**
Even things you don't know, Miss Izumi.
**[09:22] ---**
Revel found everything out immediately.
**[09:26] ---**
Miyase's origin and
upbringing became very clear after
**[09:28] ---**
looking into his family register
and the situation he was in.
**[09:32] ---**
By gaining the trust of the others around him,
**[09:34] ---**
he was able to ward off
any suspicions towards him.
**[09:37] ---**
Despite having someone
that powerful as a father,
**[09:41] ---**
he didn't try to join the
family register and continued
**[09:43] ---**
to work for the Kujo Family as an employee.
**[09:45] ---**
A mother and child... I wonder how
much the Kujo Family toyed with them.
**[09:52] ---**
That mansion is a living hell.
**[09:55] ---**
Even if Soichiro Kujo died,
as long as Soma Kujo is alive
**[09:58] ---**
the Kujo Family will never die.
**[10:00] ---**
So, in order to bring one of their crimes
that'd been forgotten back to light
**[10:04] ---**
I tried to get you people
to remember the illegal drug, Plus.
**[10:12] ---**
According to the dealer
that Imaoji was questioning
**[10:15] ---**
the first time this batch
of Plus started showing up
**[10:19] ---**
was about a year after Soichiro Kujo died.
**[10:22] ---**
I wonder if Miyase tried to spread
**[10:25] ---**
how the drug was made after
finding out who he really was.
**[10:29] ---**
I doubt he'd do anything that risky.
**[10:32] ---**
He's someone who cunningly
stayed hidden to bring down his enemy.
**[10:37] ---**
Spreading the materials
around was all he needed to do.
**[10:41] ---**
So that all that information would
**[10:42] ---**
catch the eyes of everyone he wanted
without bringing attention to himself.
**[10:47] ---**
Materials?
**[10:49] ---**
The flash drive!
**[10:51] ---**
Just as you planned,
we'd tracked down the Kujo Family.
**[10:56] ---**
I thought you'd be able to track down all
the evidence you'd need to finally arrest him.
**[11:02] ---**
I had everything prepared.
**[11:04] ---**
But to think you'd actually try
to have Mr. Kujo join you.
**[11:11] ---**
That's rather brazen of your organization...
**[11:14] ---**
This STAND.
**[11:16] ---**
So...
**[11:20] ---**
I decided to change up my plan a bit.
**[11:23] ---**
Mr. Hattori!
**[11:25] ---**
Kujo disappeared!
**[11:36] ---**
His phone is off.
**[11:40] ---**
Do you have any idea
where he might be headed?
**[11:45] ---**
But there is a GPS tracker attached
to Kujo's car just in case of emergencies.
**[11:52] ---**
Anyone from the Kujo Family
should be able to find him.
**[11:57] ---**
Piss off!
**[11:59] ---**
Like I'd ever cooperate
with an evil organization like yours!
**[12:03] ---**
After all that time you
spent painting Mr. Kujo as a villain,
**[12:06] ---**
now you're after Miyase?!
**[12:07] ---**
Please, calm down.
**[12:09] ---**
What the hell do you guys know anyway?
**[12:11] ---**
There's no way he'd try to frame Mr. Kujo!
**[12:16] ---**
As you said, we might've had the wrong idea.
**[12:21] ---**
But the one who's in danger now is the one
who believed in all of you this whole time.
**[12:28] ---**
She's very important to us. Please, help us.
**[12:32] ---**
Very well.
**[12:34] ---**
I'll talk to Kaname.
**[12:36] ---**
Hey, what the hell are you
talking about, you bastard?!
**[12:40] ---**
What you're saying is correct.
**[12:43] ---**
But that doesn't make them wrong.
**[12:50] ---**
Damn it!
**[12:52] ---**
Soon, Mr. Kujo will show up here.
**[12:55] ---**
In order for me to complete my goal
**[12:59] ---**
Miss Izumi, I need you to disappear.
**[13:03] ---**
The fact that you trusted
someone like me and came this far
**[13:07] ---**
brought your luck to an end.
**[13:10] ---**
Mr. Miyase.
**[13:11] ---**
Was everything you told me
in the greenhouse really all lies?
**[13:17] ---**
Those pretty flowers... Your expression
and voice when you spoke about Mr. Kujo
**[13:22] ---**
and the rest of the Kujo Family...
**[13:25] ---**
I just can't believe that they're all lies!
**[13:30] ---**
Was the Mr. Miyase I believed
in not the real Mr. Miyase?
**[13:36] ---**
I'm pretty sure the one you should
be pointing that gun at isn't her.
**[13:41] ---**
Mr. Kujo.
**[13:44] ---**
I guess you see right through me.
**[13:47] ---**
Yes, the one I should be pointing this gun at
**[13:49] ---**
is me.
**[13:52] ---**
What?
**[13:53] ---**
I was going to have it look
like you forced me into dealing drugs
**[13:56] ---**
and would've killed me if I didn't cooperate.
**[13:59] ---**
I even falsified plenty
of evidence to back that up.
**[14:04] ---**
And then, the Kujo Family
would finally end with Soma Kujo.
**[14:08] ---**
At least, that's how it
was supposed to play out.
**[14:11] ---**
I can't leave any witnesses alive.
**[14:14] ---**
As much as I regret it, I'm going
to have to add to the body count.
**[14:18] ---**
Mr. Miyase!
**[14:19] ---**
I know.
**[14:22] ---**
I was by his side for years.
I very aware that he's innocent.
**[14:28] ---**
But I just can't forgive him!
**[14:31] ---**
Someone from the Kujo Family, which
had tormented my mother and I for years,
**[14:35] ---**
was going to try to wipe their
slate clean of all their past treachery?
**[14:37] ---**
Do you see yourself as some kind of hero?
**[14:43] ---**
I won't let you act like everything
you've done to us never happened!
**[14:53] ---**
I have no intention of becoming a hero.
**[14:57] ---**
I am nowhere near that righteous.
**[15:00] ---**
As soon as I was born into the Kujo Family
**[15:03] ---**
I was already a sinner.
**[15:07] ---**
You never needed to lie
in order to make me out as a criminal.
**[15:15] ---**
Please don't.
**[15:17] ---**
You had every right
to live happily with your mother.
**[15:23] ---**
And I failed to protect that right.
**[15:26] ---**
Stop!
**[15:29] ---**
You were the first one to
become part of my true family.
**[15:34] ---**
I'd been alone
**[15:36] ---**
and you finally gave me peace.
**[15:40] ---**
My one and only younger brother.
**[15:43] ---**
And yet, I couldn't do anything for you.
**[15:49] ---**
The one you should be pointing
that gun at isn't her or even yourself.
**[15:54] ---**
Hand it over.
**[15:56] ---**
If you truly desire it,
**[15:58] ---**
I'll end everything right here.
**[16:06] ---**
I guess you do have some humanity left in you,
**[16:09] ---**
Soma Kujo.
**[16:11] ---**
Mr. Aoyama!
**[16:15] ---**
Mr. Arakida!
**[16:17] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[16:19] ---**
You should've known that if you used
that car, we'd be able to track you down.
**[16:24] ---**
You refused to give us Miyase's name,
yet why did you lead us here?
**[16:33] ---**
In order to stop Mr. Miyase?
**[16:39] ---**
Put down the gun, Miyase.
**[16:41] ---**
Things aren't going
to play out how you wanted.
**[16:45] ---**
You're probably right.
**[16:48] ---**
No!
**[16:50] ---**
Go!
**[16:51] ---**
Mr. Miyase!
**[16:54] ---**
Let's get you home.
**[16:56] ---**
Kaname is worried about you.
**[16:58] ---**
Mr. Kirishima and Mr. Shindo
are waiting for you, too!
**[17:01] ---**
They're waiting for your return!
**[17:05] ---**
Even if the justice we believe in is different,
**[17:07] ---**
we're all still fighting
to protect what's important to us!
**[17:12] ---**
Doesn't that apply to you, as well, Mr. Miyase?
**[17:19] ---**
Kujo!
**[17:22] ---**
Arakida!
**[17:27] ---**
Mr. Arakida.
**[18:13] ---**
Mr. Miyase.
**[18:27] ---**
This is a rather grave situation.
**[18:30] ---**
I believe STAND's rampage was due
to your lack of control over them, is it not?
**[18:38] ---**
Of course,
**[18:39] ---**
I will have Senior Superintendent Hattori
take full responsibility for this.
**[18:42] ---**
But this all started due
to the DCD's rash actions.
**[18:45] ---**
On top of everything,
they even let the suspect escape.
**[18:48] ---**
I also heard that there was a female agent
that was rather close with the suspect.
**[18:54] ---**
How about we stop this pathetic display
of trying to place blame on each other
**[18:58] ---**
and get back to what
we should be talking about?
**[19:01] ---**
STAND has always been an
independent investigation agency.
**[19:04] ---**
Mr. Hattori should have all the authority there.
**[19:07] ---**
He didn't listen to you so you're going
to try to place the blame on him.
**[19:11] ---**
I think there's something wrong there.
**[19:14] ---**
STAND is still a project in its trial period!
**[19:17] ---**
The reason we're here is to determine
**[19:19] ---**
if it's worth making it into
an official investigation agency.
**[19:23] ---**
And I'm here as a third party to make sure
you two are making the right decision or not.
**[19:32] ---**
Why not try to claim something new
for yourself only to reap its rewards?
**[19:38] ---**
I firmly believe that
**[19:40] ---**
STAND will be able to save many people.
**[19:51] ---**
You're not supposed to smoke here.
**[19:55] ---**
I'm very aware of that.
I was just thinking about the past.
**[20:01] ---**
The past?
**[20:07] ---**
Well, I don't plan to keep dwelling on it.
**[20:13] ---**
Let's go.
**[20:14] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[20:20] ---**
Hello.
**[20:24] ---**
Hey.
**[20:25] ---**
I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused you.
**[20:29] ---**
Tell me about it.
**[20:31] ---**
I really am sorry.
**[20:33] ---**
I'm sorry, as well.
**[20:39] ---**
So you're going to officially join STAND, right?
**[20:42] ---**
Congratulations.
**[20:44] ---**
Is that really worth congratulating?
**[20:46] ---**
Well, you said you'd consider it
**[20:48] ---**
after your investigation into the cases
you were following was over.
**[20:53] ---**
I figured this meant that
you finally got some closure.
**[20:59] ---**
And what about you?
**[21:02] ---**
Were you able to see your justice through?
**[21:11] ---**
The scars of those I want
to save will not disappear easily.
**[21:23] ---**
But everyone is trying
to fight in their own way.
**[21:35] ---**
For what they consider important.
**[21:39] ---**
For the important people in their lives.
**[21:46] ---**
"What kalanchoe flowers symbolize"
**[21:46] ---**
I want to continue believing that.
**[21:58] ---**
Even now, I can't help
but wonder from time to time.
**[22:02] ---**
Was the reason I couldn't
take a step back then
**[22:05] ---**
because my legs felt weak,
**[22:08] ---**
or...
**[22:13] ---**
I have to find out if what
I did was truly right or not
**[22:18] ---**
by seeing him again someday.
**[22:23] ---**
This isn't over yet.
The pieces of truth are still scattered.
**[22:28] ---**
Until I can gather all of them
and connect them together, I...
**[22:35] ---**
I'll continue to search for my justice.
**[23:53] ---**
Excuse me.
**[23:56] ---**
It's been a while.
**[23:58] ---**
You've certainly grown, boy.
**[24:02] ---**
You're...
