    "New drug"
    "(Developed by Omori Pharmaceuticals)
    (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.
