    The scenery that flew past the car window,
    and the enka from the car radio...
[00:09] Zeno/I
    The sleeping face in the back seat,
    and the smile in the passenger seat...
[00:13] Zeno/I
    They used to be there.
[00:16] Zeno/I
    But now, they're fading memories,
    like a movie I saw a long time ago.
[00:22] Zeno/I
    You never notice how important
    something is when it's too close to you.

[00:32] Zeno/I
    That's why people with
    knowing faces will tell you
[00:36] Zeno/I
    that you won't know what's truly
    important until you lose it.
[00:41] Zeno/I
    If those words are true,
[00:44] Zeno/I
    then no one can hold on to
    what's really important.
[00:50] Zeno/I
    Because once it's lost, what's really
    important will never come back.

[02:29] Robin
    As expected of the big shot at the UN.
[02:32] Bolts
    This place may have more rooms
     than I have visible abs.
[02:36] Cyrus
    The kidnapping happened
    the day before yesterday.
[02:39] Cyrus
    This arrived the day after
    the child went missing.
[02:44] Brian
    "If you want your child back, vote against
    the bill that prosecutes Borderlanders."
[02:49] Brian
    What's this bill?
[02:51] Cyrus
    It's called the New Residential
    Area Designation Bill.
[02:53] Cyrus
    The pretext is it gives new
    addresses to Borderlanders,
[02:57] Cyrus
    but in reality, it's a secret
    Borderlander isolation policy.
[03:04] Cyrus
    With a demand like this,
    the kidnapper must be a Borderlander.
[03:09] Brian
    So that's why they called us.
[03:12] Brian
    Do you think it's related
    to Rubber's terrorist group?
[03:15] Cyrus
    It's highly likely that the
    remnants of it are involved.
[03:20] Emi
    Our maid went to wake up my son, Kei, and...
[03:24] Maid
    The second-floor window
    was open, and he was gone.
[03:28] Agata
    No one suspicious was recorded on
    the surveillance cameras in the area.
[03:32] Agata
    We've asked around with our neighbors,
    but there were no witnesses.
[03:37] Lyra
    The vote for the bill mentioned in the
    blackmail letter is happening tomorrow.
[03:42] Agata
    Yes, it's supposed to be
    signed at the committee.
[03:47] Lyra
    Are you going to vote for it?
[03:51] Agata
    Well...
[04:12] Brian
    Looks like he was taken through that window.
[04:14] Brian
    No one witnessed anyone suspicious, though.
[04:18] Brian
    So what bothers you?
[04:21] Brian
    A child's drawing?
[04:23] Brian
    What about it?
[04:26] Brian
    Do you know something?
[04:31] Zeno
    Don't get yourselves involved.
[04:33] Brian
    Huh?
[04:34] Zeno
    I'll take care of this case on my own.
[04:37] Brian
    Wait... Hey!
[04:40] Brian
    What? He hasn't come back?
[04:43] Theodore
    Not since he left with you.
[04:46] Theodore
    And I just noticed that he even
    took out the Marginal Launcher.
[04:50] Robin
    Well, damn. There's nothing scarier
    than a veteran going rogue.
[04:54] Brian
    What is this symbol?
[04:57] Theodore
    It's personal information...
[04:59] Brian
    Now's not the time for that!
[05:08] Theodore
    Ten years ago, there was
    a serial kidnapping case
[05:12] Theodore
    in which only five-year-olds were targeted.
[05:16] Theodore
    There were never any witnesses.
[05:19] Theodore
    At each crime scene was the
    strange symbol you see there.
[05:28] Brian
    Don't tell me Zeno's son was...
[05:30] Theodore
    Yes.
[05:35] Theodore
    At the time, Zeno pressed on
    with an aggressive investigation,
[05:38] Theodore
    and cornered a man who seemed
    to be the culprit. But...
[05:44] (Flashback) Zeno
    Say it! Where are the children?!
[05:47] (Flashback) Man
    I'm only following my orders!
[05:49] (Flashback) Zeno
    That's bullshit!
[05:51] (Flashback) Zeno
    Tell me.
[05:53] (Flashback) Man
    The k-kids are...
[05:58] (Flashback) Zeno
    Wait!
[06:00] (Flashback) Zeno
    Stop!
[06:05] Theodore
    In the end, they couldn't
    find any of the children,
[06:09] Theodore
    and Zeno's son remains missing.
[06:12] Theodore
    Zeno resigned from his detective
    position to take responsibility.
[06:16] Theodore
    The statute of limitations hasn't expired
    yet, but the case remains unsolved.
[06:21] Theodore
    The children are feared dead.
[06:27] Lyra
    I didn't know he had such a history.
[06:30] Bolts
    It makes sense that he's so unfriendly.
[06:33] Cyrus
    Considering the situation,
    it's highly likely that
[06:36] Cyrus
    the same group of criminals is
    involved in this case, as well.
[06:40] Robin
    No wonder Zeno got so heated.
[06:48] Resident
    It's you again.
[06:50] Cyrus
    "Again"?
[06:51] Brian
    Must be Zeno.
[06:52] Brian
    Looks like he's investigating on his own.
[06:55] Resident
    Like I said before, I never saw
    the child or heard his voice.
[06:59] Resident
    But there has been a strange
    rumor around here lately.
[07:03] Brian
    A rumor?
[07:05] Resident
    A flying person.
[07:07] Lyra
    That's a flying humanoid.
[07:10] Brian
    What is that?
[07:12] Lyra/I
    It's a type of UMA that's been
    witnessed all over the world.
[07:15] Lyra/I
    A human-shaped unidentified flying
    creature that makes no sound.
[07:20] Brian
    When you say "UMA"...
[07:22] Cyrus
    Must be a Borderlander.
[07:24] Cyrus
    Maybe they came to case the joint.
[07:27] Brian
    And that's who abducted the
    kid from the second floor.
[07:30] Lyra/I
    Flying humanoids originated in Mexico.
[07:33] Lyra/I
    It may be connected to
    the hallucinogenic mushroom
[07:35] Lyra/I
    that the Borderlander terrorist
    group made drugs from,
[07:37] Lyra/I
    and the ancient Aztec civilization.
[07:40] Cyrus
    Would it be related to that symbol?
[07:42] Brian
    Lyra, can you look into that line of inquiry?
[07:45] Brian
    We'll continue to—
[07:46] Robin/I
    Come to the Twin Tower!
[07:48] Robin/I
    Right now!
[07:55] Bolts
    Are they finalizing the bill in question?
[07:58] Robin
    They're signing the bill with
    the executives as witnesses.
[08:01] Brian
    Have they discussed the kidnapping?
[08:03] Bolts
    Doesn't seem that way.
[08:05] Robin
    He must be trying to keep it under wraps.
[08:11] Agata
    Can't we postpone our final decision?
[08:15] Executive A
    The date for breaking ground
    on construction can't be moved.
[08:19] Executive B
    We also don't want the immigrant
    protest to get too big.
[08:32] Brian
    Hey, wait!
[08:33] Brian
    You're not really gonna sign it, are you?!
[08:36] Agata
    I can't yield to terrorists.
[08:38] Brian
    You can't be serious!
[08:40] Brian
    Your child's life is on the line!
[08:42] Executive A
    Who are you, exactly?
[08:43] Executive B
    They say they're from a task force.
[08:45] Executive C
    Who cares?! Get rid of them!
[08:54] Robin
    Brian, stop it!
[08:55] Brian
    Shut up!
[08:57] Brian
    If the culprit finds out,
    who knows what they'll—
[09:03] Brian
    They were monitoring us!
[09:18] Robin
    Are you serious?!
[09:19] Bolts
    It won't kill Borderlanders
    if it hits them, but...
[09:25] Robin
    Normal humans will be in pieces.
[09:27] Brian
    Marginal explosion...
[09:40] Bolts
    Anyone hurt?
[09:40] Executive A
    My ears...
[09:41] Executive B
    What the...
[09:41] Agata
    I-I'm okay.
[09:42] Executive C
    Another terrorist attack?
[09:44] Robin
    Hey, where's Brian?
[09:53] Brian
    Not again!
[09:55] Zeno
    So it is you.
[10:05] Passersby
    What's going on?
[10:06] Passersby
    A movie, apparently.
[10:06] Passersby
    They said it's a film shoot.
[10:07] Passersby
    What the heck?
[10:08] Passersby
    That explosion, too?
[10:10] Theodore
    We're sorry for the inconvenience.
[10:12] Theodore
    They're up-and-coming action stars.
[10:15] Robin
    The title is Double Machos
    Versus the Flying Phantom.
[10:19] Bolts
    Please come watch the film.
[10:24] Isabella
    I won't incriminate myself.
[10:27] Zeno
    Then I'll shoot you in the head
     until you feel like talking.
[10:31] Brian
    Hey! We don't know if she did it!
[10:35] Zeno
    Why do you side with this woman so much?
[10:38] Zeno
    You sympathize with her
    after the bombing incident?
[10:43] Zeno
    A child's life is on the line, so shut
     your mouth if you want to live.
[10:47] Brian
    Stop this nonsense!
[10:49] Brian
    If you're too aggressive,
    it'll be just like ten years ago—
[10:53] Zeno
    The culprit might die?
[10:55] Brian
    I mean...
[10:56] Zeno
    I don't know what you heard
    from Theodore, but...
[11:04] Zeno
    This woman is a Borderlander.
[11:06] Zeno
    No matter how much you hurt her,
     she won't easily die!
[11:08] Brian
    That doesn't mean you
    can do whatever you want.
[11:21] Brian
    Any development?
[11:22] Lyra
    No luck.
[11:23] Lyra
    I can't find the symbol anywhere.
[11:26] Robin
    Nothing here, either.
[11:28] Robin
    He's asked the same questions 300 times.
[11:31] Zeno
    Where is the Agatas' child?
[11:35] Zeno
    What does this symbol mean?
[11:40] Zeno
    Are you acting alone, or are you
    getting orders from someone?
[11:44] Zeno
    Is this another of Rubber's plans?
[11:46] Zeno
    In your harpy form,
    you monitored the Agatas' house
[11:50] Zeno
    and abducted their child from
    the second floor. Didn't you?
[11:57] Zeno
    Answer me!
[11:58] Zeno
    Where is the child?!
[12:00] Robin
    Zeno, stop!
[12:01] Zeno
    Where is the child?!
[12:03] Zeno
    Answer me!
[12:04] Zeno
    Give the child back!
[12:05] Zeno
    Give him back!
[12:13] Zeno
    Damn, is this Pau d'Arco tea?
[12:22] Brian
    I think it tastes good.
[12:26] Bolts
    It's already been three days
    since the abduction.
[12:29] Robin
    I get where Zeno is coming from.
[12:31] Robin
    Even if he has to beat her to a pulp, he'll...
[12:34] Brian
    Stop it. Borderlanders have rights, too.
[12:38] Robin
    Speak for yourself.
[12:40] Robin
    You used to manhandle Peck, too.
[12:43] Brian
    Wh-When did I do such a thing?
[12:45] Robin
    Don't you remember?
[12:46] Robin
    You used him as a bulletproof vest,
[12:49] Robin
    and fed him to a shark.
[12:51] Brian
    That was, you know...
[12:54] Robin
    Even if you don't mean to, a part of you
    thinks, "He's a Borderlander, after all."
[12:59] Robin
    Nothing's worse than being unconscious of it.
[13:06] Bolts
    One more hour until we switch
    with Cyrus and the others.
[13:09] Bolts
    Tomorrow, we'll visit the scene again—
[13:12] Bolts
    What is it?
[13:13] Bolts
    Is this training?
[13:14] Bolts
    With a weak-ass tackle like that...
[13:16] Brian
    H-Hey...
[13:19] Brian
    Is this...
[13:20] Bolts
    Not you, too. What are you doing?
[13:23] Robin
    He put something in it, didn't he?
[13:27] Bolts
    It's the drug.
[13:30] Bolts
    The one circulating among Borderlanders...
[13:33] Brian
    Don't tell me Zeno did this...
[13:37] Bolts
    I-I should have had a protein shake instead...
[13:49] Brian
    Wait...
[13:53] Brian
    The way you're going about this...
    isn't going to change anything.
[13:58] Brian
    There must be another way...
[14:03] Brian
    I'll help you.
[14:05] Brian
    If you keep this up, you'll stay
    trapped in the past forever.
[14:12] Zeno
    Still, I have to do it.
[14:18] Zeno
    That's all I can do.
[14:30] Isabella
    Where are you taking me?
[14:34] Lyra
    Hey, wake up.
[14:37] Lyra
    Wake up!
[14:39] Bolts
    Where's Zeno?
[14:40] Cyrus
    When we got here, he was already...
[14:43] Robin
    Damn it.
[14:48] Lyra
    Brian? Where are you going?
[14:50] Brian
    I'm gonna find the kid.
[14:52] Brian
    Otherwise, Zeno won't stop.
[15:08] (Flashback) Zeno
    Sorry, I don't have time for hugs today.
[15:12] (Flashback) Zeno
    Tell the shrimp sorry for me.
[15:14] (Flashback) Lily
    It's Noah, not "the shrimp."
[15:16] (Flashback) Lily
    Use his actual name.
[15:18] (Flashback) Zeno
    After the night shift,
    I'll get the usual sandwich.
[15:21] (Flashback) Zeno
    The one the shrimp likes.
[15:23] (Flashback) Lily
    It's Noah, not "the shrimp."
[15:25] (Flashback) Zeno
    I know.
[15:33] (Flashback) Lily
    I-It was only for a second...
[15:37] (Flashback) Lily
    I went to the bathroom, and he was gone.
[15:46] Zeno
    That was the only day I didn't
    give him a hug before I left.
[15:51] Zeno
    That was the only day
    I didn't call him by his name.
[15:56] Zeno
    I had assumed that they
    would always be with me.
[16:01] News Caster/I
    Further news on the serial kidnappings.
[16:04] News Caster/I
    It was reported that a man considered
    to be a key witness in the case
[16:07] News Caster/I
    died due to an accident
    while on the run.
[16:11] News Caster/I
    The whereabouts of the kidnapped
    children are still unclear.
[16:14] News Caster/I
    The police will hold a press conference soon.
[16:18] (Flashback) Lily
    Why?
[16:18] News Caster/I
    Information about the cases should be
    reported to the investigation headquarters
[16:20] (Flashback) Lily
    Why can't you find Noah?
[16:22] News Caster/I
    at the number you see on the screen.
[16:25] News Caster/I
    The local government has asked
    the police to increase patrols,
[16:27] (Flashback) Zeno
    I'm sorry.
[16:28] News Caster/I
    while urging the public that children be
    accompanied by adults when they are outside.
[16:31] (Flashback) Lily
    Aren't you supposed to be
    the legendary detective?
[16:34] News Caster/I
    For our next story...
[16:36] (Flashback) Lily
    Find our Noah!
[16:45] (Flashback) Zeno
    Lily?!
[16:48] (Flashback) Zeno
    Lily! Lily!
[16:52] Zeno
    When my wife died, I gave up on my child.
[16:56] Zeno
    Something inside me just snapped.
[17:00] Zeno
    You don't know what's truly
    important until you lose it.
[17:04] Zeno
    So no one can hold on to
    what's really important.
[17:13] Zeno
    This will be your last chance.
[17:16] Zeno
    Where is the child?
[17:20] Isabella
    You're wrong.
[17:22] Isabella
    You haven't lost them.
[17:25] Zeno
    What do you mean?
[17:28] Brian
    Stop!
[17:30] Zeno
    What are you doing here?
[17:31] Brian
    Theodore told me that you
    might be at this house.
[17:38] Brian
    We found the child.
[17:41] Brian
    The culprit wasn't Isabella.
[17:44] Brian
    It was the maid who worked there.
[17:46] (Flashback) Brian
    Anything is fine!
[17:48] (Flashback) Brian
    Please remember!
[17:50] (Flashback) Emi
    But I don't remember anything.
[17:52] (Flashback) Agata
    We've told you everything we could.
[17:54] (Flashback) Brian
    I need to find that child, no matter what!
[17:58] (Flashback) Brian
    For that young life, and for you, his parents!
[18:01] (Flashback) Brian
    And there's someone I need to stop.
[18:05] (Flashback) Brian
    I can't make him go through this again!
[18:12] (Flashback) Maid
    Th-That night, I put the boy
    to sleep like I always do.
[18:17] (Flashback) Maid
    B-But...
[18:19] (Flashback) Maid
    It was just another regular night, but
    the child... the child wasn't there, so...
[18:28] Lyra
    I found it.
SIGN    Nichiyomi
     Serial Child Kidnapping
[18:30] Lyra
    The name of the maid is Shiho Sato.
[18:32] Lyra
    Like Zeno, her child was
    kidnapped ten years ago.
[18:36] Zeno
    Like me?
[18:40] Brian
    Yes.
[18:41] Brian
    She's the mother of one of the five kids
    who have been missing for ten years.
[18:46] Brian
    The child was hidden in the attic.
[18:49] Brian
    We thought he was kidnapped,
    but he was at the house all this time.
[18:55] (Flashback) Kei
    Huh? Where's Shiho?
[19:00] Brian
    That maid was also obsessed
    with the case from ten years ago.
[19:04] Maid
    It was Kei's fifth birthday.
[19:08] Maid
    But his parents said they
    were too busy with work.
[19:14] Maid
    I wanted those parents
    to know... the pain I feel.
[19:20] Maid
    What it feels to lose something precious.
[19:24] Robin
    That's why you left the same
    symbol from ten years ago.
[19:28] Zeno
    Then you...
[19:30] Isabella
    I sent the blackmail letter.
[19:33] Isabella
    I was monitoring that family.
[19:36] Isabella
    To stop a man named Agata
    from passing the new bill.
[19:41] Isabella
    That's how I learned the maid did it.
[19:44] Isabella
    I took advantage of that.
[19:47] Isabella
    I told her to cooperate in exchange
    for my silence about the kidnapping.
[19:51] Isabella
    So I'm guilty, as well.
[19:58] Brian
    I know this didn't resolve anything for you.
[20:00] Brian
    But this time, you did rescue one person.
[20:04] Brian
    It's about time you took a step forward.
[20:11] Zeno
    Maybe you're right.
[20:12] Brian
    Good!
[20:13] Brian
    Well, then...
[20:17] Brian
    Here's payback for when you
    hit me at the interrogation!
[20:31] [SONG] Sign
    CLOSED
[20:33] Bolts
    The child was found safe and sound.
[20:34] Robin
    And the new bill did pass.
[20:34] [SONG] Sign
    New Bill Passed
[20:38] Cyrus
    I feel conflicted.
SIGN    No to the New Bill!
    Protect Borderlander Rights!
[20:41] Peck
    I'm gonna protest the hell out of it!
[20:44] Lyra
    So the case from ten years ago
    still remains a mystery?
[20:48] Brian
    Yeah, I guess.
[20:57] Zeno
    You mentioned before...
[20:59] (Flashback) Isabella
    You haven't lost them.
[21:03] Zeno
    You know the truth about what
    happened ten years ago, don't you?
[21:10] Zeno
    I figured out the meaning of this symbol.
[21:17] Zeno
    Let's continue the interrogation.
