"Popular Novelist Arrested"
The media is reporting
that Makoto was arrested.
**[00:18] ---**
The media is reporting
that Makoto was arrested.
**[00:21] ---**
The press is being rather ruthless
with both Makoto and Kyosuke.
**[00:26] ---**
Is there any way you could at least
announce that he wasn't arrested?
**[00:32] ---**
Please!
**[00:33] ---**
You don't get a say in this, Little Miss Narc.
**[00:37] ---**
This is our job.
**[00:40] ---**
This is STAND's job.
**[00:43] ---**
But why...
**[00:44] ---**
Why didn't I tell you?
**[00:47] ---**
Isn't it obvious?
**[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] ---**
"Kujo Family - Kiyoshi Shindo"
**[21:09] ---**
"Kujo Family - Kiyoshi Shindo"
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.
**[21:30] ---**
"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"
