[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.
