**[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?
