[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] ---
    "Received Message"
    "Don't get involved any further
    if you don't want to die"
