I work for the Counter-Terrorist Unit, aka CTU.
To stop the plot to assassinate female Prime Ministerial candidate Urara Asakura,
I was assigned a top secret mission.
We got kidnapped!
Meanwhile, my wife and daughter were kidnapped by the terrorists.
There's an enemy traitor at CTU.
Sumire...?
I can't talk without a lawyer!
I will announce the truth, no matter what.
I don't care if I don't become Prime Minister as a result.
Shidou! You ruined it!
Don't kill my wife and daughter!
The assassination plot moves forward by the minute.
The day of the general election, with expectations mounting for the rise of Japan's first female Prime Minister. Tokyo, from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM. Events occur in real time.
Stay alert!
It's arrived.
We just left the venue. The party leader is unharmed.
Arriving at the hotel ahead of schedule due to emergency evacuation.
How could this happen...?
I couldn't tell them about Yuuta...
Your life was in danger. It's not the time!
Hey.
What the hell is going on?
When I told this man to stop,
he suddenly jumped me and tried to take my gun.
Got it. I'll get the full story later.
Head Naoyuki Ijichi CTU Tokyo Headquarters Liaison Department
Yes sir.
- You're from the liaison department? - I'm the head, Ijichi.
I have my reasons for this. I don't want you to misunderstand.
You got authorization from me to attend the breakfast party...
to bring in something like this.
Believe me. If I were the assassin, I would've used that gun already!
If you're not the assassin, why did you jump the SP?
The culprit was trying to shoot the party leader!
So I purposefully made a scene.
There was no other way!
Purposefully...
If I didn't, I couldn't have stopped him.
He was about to fire!
What proof do you have that that's true?
Hurry and catch the culprit instead of having this debate!
He's posing as a photographer. The party leader is still in danger!
It's me.
Get me a list of photographers at the venue. Yeah.
Just let me go!
Sumire... because you sold confidential information,
two of our people are dead!
If you stay silent, you'll be at a disadvantage.
Who exactly asked you to do this?
Kanbayashi...
- Kanbayashi...? - Who's that?
I don't know if that's his real name...
My son's... I needed money for Hiroshi's surgeries.
But it turned out like this...
The one watching us through the security cameras
is this Kanbayashi?
You're the one who hacked into the video database?
What are you doing?!
I can't do anything here. I have to go back to my desk.
It'd be bad for the cameras to see you.
Aren't you supposed to be dead?
So I can't ever leave here?
I... have an idea.
He didn't shoot, did he?
Tell him to get back here right now!
Whoa whoa whoa... What? What? What?
What happened?
I cut off the line.
The security staff was about to notice the breach in the video database.
I left things inside CTU to you!
That's why I shut it down. To protect all of you.
Enough of that. Find Genba Shidou!
He's being detained by CTU agents right now.
I'll check the status.
Update me ASAP.
- Well? - No good. I can't trace it.
The pathway is heavily encrypted.
I see...
- I can't get you that much time. - I know!
- I'll investigate Kanbayashi. - Please do.
Chief! Where were you this whole time?
Some urgent business came up.
Looks like someone went after Urara Asakura.
It's under investigation now.
Milo, what are you working on?
They made me do chores while waiting for the key card.
Sorry, but can you continue the job that Sumire was working on?
Sure, but... why?
I asked her to work on something else.
Hm... No wonder I haven't seen her.
- Don't pry. - Okay. I'll take over.
Mago, find out more about what happened.
What did he say?
The name of the person in custody is unknown.
You should've listened to the SP's advice back then.
Something similar has happened before.
But I'm fine.
You should cancel the rest of your plans.
I saw the culprit with my own eyes! Let me call my people!
- Sit down. - Get off!
- Sit! - Shidou!
Don't cause any more trouble!
I want to continue the investigation!
No. You'll remain in custody.
Wait.
Before that, I need to speak to you in private.
Speak to me here.
What?
The truth is... the culprit has taken my wife and daughter hostage.
If I don't go help them, they'll be killed.
The culprit?
The one trying to assassinate the party leader.
He ordered me to bring in a rifle and give it to a photographer.
So you gave it to him.
There was no other way...
You're a member of an essential organization that protects this country!
I know that!
That's why I purposely caused a disturbance​ to keep him from shooting the party leader.
Believe me.
If you check my house, you'll see. My wife and daughter aren't there.
Let me go to where they are!
- Hey, Yamaguchi. - Yes sir.
Please. Let me catch those guys!
There's nothing I can do within my authority.
Take him.
Please wait.
Okay, you can go through.
Hey! Wait!
Don't shoot, don't shoot, don't shoot!
It'll explode!
This is Yamaguchi. Genba Shidou has escaped!
Found Shidou at the second floor service entrance. Requesting immediate backup!
The SP also knows what Shidou looks like.
Given the situation, we'll join the chase.
- All right. Thank you. - Yes.
This way.
Scream and I shoot.
Go.
Rouri Isobe
Sorry, he got away.
What the hell does that mean?!
It looks like we're on a public road. Beyond that...
- Contact the jurisdiction! - Yes sir!
Don't let him get away!
Speed up.
Please... d-don't shoot me.
If you do as I say, I won't do anything.
Hello, Yuuta?
Sorry. It took a while to check with Mr. Akiyama.
How are Mom and Dad?
He said they're both safe.
Thank goodness...
I don't know what'll happen,
so you stay at home with Grandma.
Yeah. You be careful too.
Um... how far should I go?
Take that left.
How long do I drive...?
Keep going until I tell you to stop.
Enter that construction site.
Go below that office and stop.
Okay...
Shut off the engine.
Get out.
Go quickly.
Open it.
- The key... - Get back.
Get in.
How much did you get from them?
Ten million? Or twenty million?
Five million yen...
That's the price for betrayal?
I needed money for my son's surgeries.
Everyone wants money.
My son has a weak heart, and I've raised him all on my own!
You have my sympathy.
But you're just making excuses!
It's okay for you, manager Nanjou. You have a career and a title.
Don't you get a lot of money?
Even though I'm a specialist too...
Why am I paid so badly?!
- If you don't like it, work somewhere else! - Easy for you to say.
You don't know my struggles!
Milo is investigating Kanbayashi. Did she confess?
Nothing but pathetic excuses.
Sumire... call Kanbayashi
and tell him the captain is on his way here now.
- We'll stall. - No.
Didn't I tell you? I won't talk without a lawyer.
Cut it out!
Hello?
- It's me. - Captain...?!
Are you okay?
- I'm fine. - Thank goodness.
At first I wondered what was going on.
Sorry...
- Why did they go after me? - I think it's because you're getting closer to the truth.
- I'm sorry. - Don't worry about me.
Where are you now?
An industrial complex in Higashi-Kawasaki. I was caught when I caused a disturbance,
but I escaped so I could continue the investigation. What about you?
I went back to CTU.
They'll be watching you there.
The cameras are taken care of.
More importantly, I know who the traitor is.
- Who? - The traitor was...
Sumire.
It can't be...! Are you sure?
She confessed herself.
Sumire handled confidential information at CTU!
That's why they went after her.
Unfortunately... it seems like she was blinded by money.
I see...
Did Sumire say anything about my family?
Where they're being held hostage, or why, or anything.
Nothing yet...
We just know the name of her employer, Kanbayashi.
Kanbayashi... Anything else?
No. She's staying silent.
- Is she there? - Yes.
Put her on.
It's the captain. Take it.
No.
She can hear you.
Sumire... I understand your pain.
And I'm not hung up on the rules.
If you help me capture Kanbayashi and rescue my family,
you won't be charged with a crime. I promise.
You don't have that kind of power.
No, I do.
I'll convince Mizuishi and Nanjou to keep it a secret between the four of us.
If I do that, your actions won't get out anywhere.
So please.
No. I can't trust you.
What do we do?
Hiroshi. Bring Sumire's son Hiroshi.
Huh...?
That's going too far...
Prepare a car. Smartphone, handcuff master key,
and a box of 9mm caliber bullets.
- What're you going to do? - I'll rescue my wife and daughter on my own.
I'll arrange it. Where is the car going?
West side of the industrial road.
Who are you? What's going on?
Like you heard. My wife and daughter were taken hostage.
Then why are you running away?
What's your name?
Ms. Isobe, huh?
I'm Shidou. I work at an organization called CTU.
Right now, I'm on an important mission, but there's been a misunderstanding, and I'm being pursued.
Please believe me.
I guess it's not possible to talk like this out of the blue...
You'll get a car, right? You have a hiding place like this...
You don't need me anymore, right?
Sorry, but I'll be in trouble if you're not there when I'm about to get caught.
Are you going to shoot me?
No, I'm not. I swear.
Where were you going in the car?
Home from work?
Yeah.
I'm having a hard time too. I'm worn out from the night shift.
And after this,
I have to go to the station to take a speeding violation class.
You might have a special job,
but I'm in a hurry too!
- Don't move! - No...
You said you wouldn't shoot me...
I don't think you understand the situation.
My wife's and daughter's lives are at stake!
You shouldn't take me lightly.
Ma'am!
- I'm fine. - I'll go check on the situation,
so please don't leave this room.
- Got it. - Thank you very much!
Wasn't there a shot fired?
I don't know the details, but I think so.
If I got shocked by something like this,
I wouldn't be able to carry this country on my shoulders.
Nothing less from you...
Go back to work. I'm fine.
Where's Yuuta?
He went out about half an hour ago...
I stopped him, but he said there was somewhere he absolutely had to go.
I think he left while I was on the phone.
He was relieved when I told him you were safe...
but after that, he seemed on edge.
It's okay. I'm sure he just wanted to be alone.
He'll be found soon.
That matter... even if you wanted to announce it first, you won't make it.
Why?
Seems Madoka Yamashiro is saying she'll announce something at 9:00.
We have to stop her quickly...
We can't. Madoka can't be stopped.
Isn't she your best friend?
She's a journalist.
"Prime Ministerial candidate's son involved in murder cover-up."
Anyone can see it's a huge scoop.
You're giving up without a fight?
Why fight?
If it's announced, we'd have no choice but to face the truth.
How about doing something for your precious son?
You can't change the facts.
If you're saying such things at this point,
you should've discussed it with me two years ago, when it happened.
Hold on.
I'm going to go over my schedule for the day.
Hello?
- Nanjou. Where's Mizuishi? - Analyzing data at her desk.
- Sumire's son there? - Not yet.
- The car? - It'll be there in about ten minutes.
How's Sumire doing?
- Still staying silent. - I see.
Nanjou, were you the one who gave me away?
Yes.
I thought you were suspicious,
and decided that it was necessary to stop the assassination plot...
You didn't know what was going on, so it was the right decision.
Captain...
I'm sorry for all my rude behavior last night.
No, I'm sorry.
I trusted the wrong people.
I know there's conflicting information, but please support Mizuishi.
- Got it. - I'll call you later from the car.
Ms. Isobe, come here.
What is it?
See that big red wrench over there?
It's a bolt cutter.
You know your stuff.
I've done all kinds of jobs.
I see. I want you to go get that.
And bring it here?
Right.
Fine.
Wait.
I'll be watching.
Thanks. Cut these.
Good! Thanks.
No, no, not yet. We've just begun.
I don't think there's any need to worry about that.
Yes, I understand.
If you need anything else, please let me know.
I've received information that the man who caused the disturbance
was the CTU's Genba Shidou.
Genba Shidou...
He caused the disturbance when he tried to grab a gun,
but I heard that he was saying it wasn't to kill you with.
I see...
That... might be true...
But after that, he escaped.
Escaped?! How?
I don't know the details. But it seems they haven't found him yet.
That's just like Genba Shidou.
Do you know this man?
Just his name and face, from a certain incident.
- Stand up. - What're you going to do?
It's okay. I won't be rough.
Come to the next room.
- Stop! Stop...! - I won't let you touch a single finger!
Move! You, come here!
Stop! Stop! Stop...!
Stay out of it.
- Mom...! - Come on.
No! No! Stop...!
Hey! Hey... how about me?
- What? - Mom...?
I'd be... fine, wouldn't I?
See...
Okay, come on.
Mom... Mom...!
Mom...
Hey! C'mon! Hey! Mom?!
Mom! Open the door!
C'mon, Mom...!
Mom!
Madoka, sorry to bother you when you're busy.
There's a lot going on before the broadcast.
What did you need?
I'd like you to keep Yuuta's involvement in the matter you mentioned private.
I can't do that, Youhei.
This scoop must be featured today.
I've collected all the evidence.
I have other classified information instead.
As a matter of fact, Urara Asakura was nearly assassinated this morning.
I know that.
I'm relieved that she's okay.
But the suspect is from a special government agency.
This information hasn't been announced yet.
Go on.
It seems that he has an accomplice.
Is there a large plot to assassinate the party leader?
I don't know that much yet.
Give me a little time and I'll try to find out.
Fine.
But I'm not going to dismiss the scoop.
Just postpone the broadcast.
Please, Madoka. Just for a couple of days.
Mom...
Mom... I'm sorry...
Miyu, it's okay.
It's because I... I snuck out of the house...
Listen, Miyu, we will definitely be rescued!
All three of us will return to our normal lives.
So forget what just happened. Okay?
Shh.
Did you steal that from him?
- Hello? - It's Rikka Shidou.
The captain's wife...?! Where are you right now?!
- What happened? - It disconnected...
- Where'd she call from? - I don't know. It was a withheld number.
Move back.
Yuuta.
You went out?
It seemed like it was okay.
I'm fine. As you see.
You didn't... make the announcement.
I couldn't.
But everyone will know soon, when the news comes out.
I'll retain a reliable team of defense lawyers
and protect you both.
What are you talking about? Think of other people!
Yuuta, think ahead.
Rather than dragging this incident behind you your whole life, you should face it here and now.
- I'll bet! - Yuuta!
I got a call from Madoka Yamashiro herself. She's going to postpone her report.
Huh?! Why?
Didn't you persuade her?
No. I'm sure there's another reason.
Are you ready?
Madoka will postpone her broadcast.
I see. Thank goodness.
Did you do something?
No. I guess her source of information wasn't good enough.
Mago, call Madoka as soon as the broadcast is over.
Hold on.
Shouldn't we just leave it alone?
I want to know why Madoka changed her mind.
Thanks.
Where do you work? You said you're on the night shift.
I manage to work at both a supermarket during the day
and an express delivery service​ center at night...
Are you married?
I was.
I see.
When I took in my sister who was left disabled after an accident,
my husband told me, "Choose between her and me."
So you separated...?
He took both our kids too.
It's hard... not being able to live together.
You have a kid too, right? Aren't they precious?
Yeah, she is.
I'd do anything for her.
I see...
As a father... and as a husband,
I haven't done a single thing that I can be proud of...
But I can still be with them.
I'm lucky.
I'm not lucky at all...
I'm sorry I dragged you into this.
You're apologizing...
I rarely apologize, not even to my wife.
Hey.
Let me go already.
When the car I requested arrives. Soon.
I've gone to hell and back many times for my job.
But I haven't been as scared as I am now.
Only for my family...
I have nothing else to say.
You'll start talking soon.
Why?
We called your son.
Hiroshi is coming here.
Huh... Hiroshi?!
What are you going to do to my son?!
If you continue to keep quiet,
we'll bring him here and let him see you.
- Don't! - We're serious.
I wonder what your six-year-old son will think,
seeing his mother in handcuffs?
You're heartless... Don't threaten that!
What do you think is happening to the captain's family?
It's a lot worse than that!
Chief... please.
Don't let him see me like this!
Then tell us everything and help us capture Kanbayashi.
I can't...!
Sumire, you think he'll just leave it if he finds out you've been caught?!
Worst case, he'll kill you and your child.
Stop...! I'm already all mixed up...!
Calm down.
I can't... What should I do...?!
Please... please... Give me a little time to think!
Fine. We'll leave you alone, so think carefully.
Ms. Isobe.
If I leave to get the car, they'll catch me.
- Will you go get it for me instead? - Huh?
I want you to bring it to the back of the site.
You want me to go with all those police there?
Please...!
Let's say I believe half of what you told me...
is it true that your family was kidnapped?
It's true. I'm not lying.
My family's lives are at stake!
Where's the car?
It's on the industrial road straight ahead of here.
There's a silver sedan there.
Got it.
Good, go!
What are you doing? Hurry up!
Go! Go!
Shidou sighted!
After him!
- Dammit! - Silver sedan, 7930!
Fleeing Higashi-Kawasaki towards Route 80! Requesting emergency search!
When I searched the criminal database with the criteria you gave me,
a bunch of people involved in criminal organizations came up.
Unless it's narrowed down a little more, this information won't be useful.
There are more people than I expected.
Try to cross-check it with other information.
For instance... Eifuku Chingen.
Okay, I'll try.
- Chief, it's about time to go back. - Yeah.
Let me know when Sumire's son arrives.
Huh?
The Sumire issue will be known soon.
Yeah. We'd better explain it somehow afterwards.
I hope Sumire's ready to talk...
I wonder...
I hope she's calmed down.
This is bad...!
- We have to stop the bleeding! - Take off the handcuffs!
Send a doctor ASAP!
Hey! Hey, wake up!
Hey! Wake up!
Hey! Hey, Sumire!
What?
Sumire's son is here now. What do I do? Take him there?
No! Don't bring him now!
Huh?!
Hey, Sumire!
Could you wait a little bit?
Yes.
Sorry.
Okay.
The phone?
It's Kanbayashi...!
Sumire! What's going on...?!
