(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.
