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!
To save my kidnapped wife and daughter
and determine the truth, I'm fighting the terrorists.
Don't act on your own.
I can't promise that.
Don't let our hard work go to waste.
The captain's substitute is coming on board.
There was a suspicious name: Ted Fukui.
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 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Events occur in real time.
The photographer's name is Tsunehiko Minagawa.
No criminal record.
Leads a life of traveling between Japan and overseas.
Conduct a thorough investigation for any contact with terrorist organizations in each country.
Include information about any potential danger to party leader Asakura.
I'll report to headquarters by noon.
Yes ma'am.
Has former captain Shidou contacted you?
Not at all.
I'll take your word for it...
Isn't she the one who's always getting on your nerves?
Well, yeah.
We'll be working under her for a while.
Whenever I get annoyed, I feel like I'm shrinking. It really feels that way.
Never mind that, get to work.
Okay.
Ted.
It's Otomori. I want to see you right now.
That's a problem.
I'm on my way to Wangan Heliport right now.
It's urgent. Come to the usual parking lot.
ASAP.
Change of plans. I'm meeting someone.
Head to Oi.
Did you hear me?
Who are you?
Hey, where's Akagi?!
What're you doing...?! Stop the car!
Stop the car!
Hand over your phone.
Hurry up!
Don't move from there.
Don't move! Hands under your legs.
What... Are you after money?
I have a couple million on me!
Shut up!
My wife and daughter were kidnapped.
Your pal Kanbayashi is holding them hostage.
- Where are they? - I don't know what you're talking about...
Tell me! Where is my family?!
H-How would I know...?
What're you talking about? I'm a regular businessman!
Do regular businessmen ride in bulletproof limos?!
It's to protect myself.
Where are my wife and daughter...?!
Please believe me... I really don't know anything!
You're a great actor.
But don't underestimate me.
Stay put.
- This is Mizuishi. - Is now okay?
Hold on. There's a risk of this line being tapped.
I'll connect to a secure line.
Go ahead.
Did you get any more calls from Rikka?
- No. - How's Obata?
She's taking up the post you were in.
- Did she talk to you? - Yes.
She suspects that I'm in contact with you behind her back.
I denied it, of course.
I got Ted Fukui.
You found him?
I hijacked his car.
You're being reckless again. Did he tell you anything?
No. But he'll spit it out now.
- You mean you kidnapped him? - Yeah.
He's my only lead to Rikka and Miyu right now.
But isn't it possible that you have the wrong person?
Don't do anything too risky.
Things are escalating.
Do you think there's another way?!
I don't know.
But, to be blunt, if this continues,
neither I nor manager Nanjou will be able to cover for you.
Don't get fainthearted. You're the only one I can rely on.
Ted Fukui is playing innocent. He won't confess easily.
Find out his weakness.
Roger. Give me 15 minutes...
No, do it in 5 minutes.
Unless I can make him talk, I can't find Rikka and Miyu.
All right. I'll try.
Your dad is coming to save us right now.
Even if he can't come, his people will.
How? He doesn't even know where we are...
They traced the call.
Do you think it finished?
We have to believe. We can't give up.
Sorry about earlier.
Thanks to you...
Don't say anything. It's better if I don't know anything.
Why?
If I don't know anything, I'll have an excuse.
So don't say anything.
Hey, just tell me one thing.
What's going to happen to us now?
Ken! C'mon! Hey, Ken...!
What did he come here for?
Did they say who they were talking to?
- They didn't tell me anything. - Liar!
They'd tell you. It was her old man on the phone, right?!
I said I don't know! They didn't tell me anything...
Stop it...!
Stop screwing around! Don't mess with me!
Stop... don't hurt him...
- Manager. - What is it?
The data you requested on the plane's passenger list has come in.
Thanks.
Is this verified data?
Yes, it is.
Got it.
Ms. Obata.
You can call me new captain.
New captain Obata.
What is it?
The crashed plane's passenger list data has been restored.
- And? - The data had been tampered with,
and this person's name was erased from the list.
Tsunehiko Minagawa...
The photographer believed to be an accomplice in the attempted assassination of party leader Asakura.
Wait. Then... the real Minagawa the photographer
died in this morning's accident?
It's reasonable to think so.
The assassin group somehow obtained his ID.
Then they caused the accident and wiped him out...
If that's the case...
who's the photographer that escaped the breakfast party?
Someone else, who turned his face into a spitting image. Probably with plastic surgery.
That imposter probably showed up with the real ID card.
That's very elaborate.
Given the situation so far,
I believe it's a very carefully prepared plot.
Where'd he get the real ID card?
That's under investigation.
The security system used at the breakfast party was very rigorous,
so it's hard to imagine a forgery.
If that's the case, did someone from the assassin group
have direct contact with the real Minagawa?
- Mizuishi. - It's me.
Ah, Cap Degawa.
Hold on. Manager Nanjou is taking care of that.
Wait. I need to speak to Cap Degawa.
Give it to me.
Sorry, there's one more thing
I'd like you to confirm for me ASAP.
- What? - It's about the plane's route.
Tell him I'll call him back.
The data's at my desk.
- Thanks for waiting. - Was there a problem?
No, it's fine. But I need a little more time...
Sorry. Did you get anything?
Only a little about Ted Fukui.
His father was Indonesian and his mother was Japanese, from Fukuoka.
He's the eldest of three brothers.
His father died when he was a child.
It looks like he took care of his brothers
while they moved around overseas.
He seems to have a strong sense of responsibility.
He went to an American university at 16. He's a prodigy.
Even at the first company he joined, he was promoted right away.
He's exceedingly ambitious.
The investment firm he started seven years ago is doing pretty well too.
Health-wise, it looks like he has a heart condition.
Yeah, I found medicine.
He dislikes waste, so he doesn't donate.
He's particular about time and money.
It mentions that he's prideful and stubborn.
I see.
It seems best to threaten him gradually and get the initiative​,
then push for a confession all at once.
Yeah. This is just a hunch,
but I think it's more effective to threaten someone like this than to actually hurt them.
I'll call you again later.
Sit on the other side.
Hurry up!
If you answer honestly, it'll be over soon.
Do you know Eifuku Chingen?
- Yougo Hakozaki? - No.
- Urara Asakura? - Yes.
They say she's going to be the first female Prime Minister.
Your group's assassination plot failed. The culprit will be caught soon.
You're one of the suspects too, Ted.
But if you cooperate with me, I'll help you. I can stand by you.
I already told you, I don't know what this is.
I can't answer what I don't know!
Your hands are shaking.
Because I'm scared.
Who were you supposed to meet before going to the heliport?
A man named Seisuke Otomori.
- Who's that? - A machine tool salesman.
Why are you meeting him?
I don't know. It's at his convenience.
I won't know what he wants without meeting him.
I can't answer any more than that!
It's Mizuishi.
Look into a man named Seisuke Otomori.
He's a machine tool salesman. It may be a pseudonym.
Roger.
Prepare yourself.
Stay quiet and watch. Don't look away.
Do you know about the old Soviet gulags?
The torture techniques were primitive, and used everyday objects.
Like this.
This gets shoved into the mouth. Deep into the throat.
You think that's impossible?
But it's surprisingly doable.
I really don't know anything...
However, the end is left out.
Then, after waiting a while, the end is pulled with all one's strength.
The entire stomach is dragged out along with the towel.
It takes a week to die. You'd suffer through hell.
You're insane...!
I dislike violence, but I'll make an exception to save my family.
I'd do anything...!
There's something I want you to see.
You're not the only one. I have a family too...!
Believe me. I'm not hiding anything!
Andre...
Where is Shidou?
We're hunting for him with all our might.
We're monitoring police radio, searching the area,
and have a contact inside CTU,
so we should get some intel.
I thought it would be convenient to use the locals somehow...
but it was a mistake to leave it to you lot.
Kanbayashi, you're fired.
You screwed up. That's an indisputable fact.
We've been preparing for over a year, and now you're canceling it?
Canceling? Don't be ridiculous. I have a plan B.
What do you mean? I haven't heard anything...
Of course not. You're not part of plan B.
Please give me just a little more time.
- How long? - Until noon. Not even two hours.
Thirty minutes. Find Shidou in 30 minutes.
If you can't, I'll take over.
Kanbayashi, your final task
is to clean up the hostages and this base.
Sorry I didn't contact you sooner. I've arrived in Japan.
You've been a volunteer here for a long time,
and you're always so positive with the children, aren't you?
When they hear you speak,
the children also feel motivated to do their best.
This year, some of the children
declared that they wanted to plan the recital by themselves.
It made me happy to see how hard they were all working.
Children really do grow up by the day.
Yes.
Pardon me. There's something we need you to verify right away.
This way, ma'am.
Hello?
You fired me, so what do you want now?
I heard some dangerous information.
Regarding Yuuta's counselor, Touko Aoi.
My associates ordered Joushuu to take care of it.
It's false information. Pay no attention to it.
I want to see you right now.
I would if I could... but unfortunately, I'm busy today.
Joushuu, you must have things you don't want announced either.
I've served you for decades. Are you planning to threaten me?
I want you to come right away.
All right.
I'll be there by 11:00.
Hurry.
Give my regards to your husband. I'm jealous of how well you two get along.
- It's me. - It's Mizuishi.
Did you find out about Otomori?
Yes. Seisuke Otomori actually is
a salesman for a company selling machine tools.
It's got to be a cover.
We don't know anything for sure.
In the first place, the name Ted Fukui
was only in an email Sumire forgot to delete,
and we don't know whether the Ted Fukui there is actually him.
No, he's definitely connected to the assassination.
I know you're in a hurry, but think and act calmly.
Let's meet Otomori.
They're getting ready to move out of here...
Mom? What's wrong?
Nothing.
What're you talking about?! You're not okay, are you?
I'm fine. My stomach just hurts.
Does it hurt a lot?
It's not a big deal. I'll feel better with a little rest.
- I'll call someone! - Don't!
We're hostages. No one will care.
But you're not feeling well...!
It's fine.
Miyu, I'll hang on until your dad comes to save us.
We both have to do our best.
I'll feel better with a little rest.
I'm sorry...
Okay.
Data received.
But it's not very useful.
Kaito, that's awesome. Sayaka, what're you drawing?
- A bear. - Oh, a bear!
They all look like they're having fun.
I hear that you and your wife make a great team too.
I've always wanted to have a relationship where we could talk about anything.
It's wonderful that you're so close.
Excuse me.
Did you speak to Joushuu?
Answer honestly.
Yeah, just a little.
About what? What did you tell him?
To think of a way to stop Madoka Yamashiro's broadcast.
What about Joushuu?
He said he'd already handled the evidence against Yuuta.
Why didn't you tell me about such an important conversation?
I didn't think I needed to tell you.
I thought you'd never hide things from me again,
but apparently that was impossible.
Am I the only bad guy?
What?
As you requested,
I looked into that Genba Shidou's history.
And?
Most of his missions were classified.
He's quite difficult to get a handle on.
Was one of them seven years ago?
How'd you know that?
I'll tell you later.
A businessman with a tactical knife in his car?
Semua ini akibat ulahmu sendiri!
Indonesian? What did you say?
I said, "This is all your own fault!"
My own fault? What does that mean?
Know this, Genba Shidou! You will pay!
You know my name?!
This is payback!
Payback?! What does that mean?
Who are you?!
What's the matter? A seizure?
Answer me and I'll give you medicine.
Where are my wife and daughter?
Where?!
I'll give you medicine, so tell me where they are!
I... I don't know...!
Tell me!
Take it!
Hey...!
Hang on.
Please! Open your eyes!
Ted! Where is my family?!
Just stay calm.
Don't blame yourself too much.
This was an unforeseen accident.
Captain Shidou, this isn't like you.
I'm disappointed in myself.
This was my mistake.
I've lost my only lead.
I don't know what to do from here...
Won't Seisuke Otomori get there soon?
Why don't you question him?
Their objective wasn't just Urara Asakura.
Huh?
My own fault... Ted said that.
Your own fault?
They were after my life too.
What does that mean?
I don't know.
How are Urara Asakura, Ted Fukui, and you connected?
I don't know that either.
Pull yourself together! Nothing will get resolved like this!
Sorry, but can you dig into Ted Fukui's background again?
Thoroughly, please. His whole family too.
And check my past missions as well.
But they're classified.
Access them somehow!
All right. I'll try.
Ted Fukui has ties to Indonesia, right?
Yes.
Maybe
this is related to a mission seven years ago in the Madreva Federation in southeast Asia,
Operation Dark Night.
Check the intel on Ted Fukui against the operation files.
Got it.
Do it ASAP.
It'll be okay.
Calm down!
Miyu...?
Wake up. You can't sleep.
Are you okay?
Yeah...
What?
Take it.
It's the one Go had.
It's loaded.
I don't think this counts as an apology, but...
I'm really sorry for taking you guys.
How... can I use this?
You want me to fight with this?
I've never even touched a gun before!
They're really going to kill us this time.
That's why he gave us a pistol...
No... No way!
Miyu!
Listen carefully!
We're still alive.
As long as we're alive, we can't give up hope!
We'll fight to the end!
Okay...
What do you want?
Didn't I tell you? I heard some dangerous information.
Don't worry about that.
You're safe.
Don't worry?
You're planning to kidnap counselor Touko Aoi, aren't you?
Don't exaggerate.
You'll give me a bad reputation.
You're not denying it.
Then I deny it.
Are you satisfied with that?
You should understand.
Power always comes with a price.
Are you trying to lecture me?
I will absolutely not allow any casualties.
No one is asking for your permission.
You still don't get it?
The people who've been supporting you are seriously afraid
that the money and time they've invested in you will be wasted.
In order to avoid that, they'll use any means necessary.
Joushuu...
Employing you was a mistake.
You see, you're not my boss.
We... have been working hard on behalf of the supporters
who give you money.
You do.
I don't.
Sorry I'm late.
I was making a few calls.
Hey, we meet again.
This is an unexpected development.
That you would be Seisuke Otomori.
Where's my family?
Dammit... Damn...!
Wake up.
Answer me.
Where is my wife?
- She's safe. - What about my daughter?
- Her too. - Where are they right now?!
Otomori, don't give me a hard time.
That's my line.
I'm the one holding the gun.
Not you.
If you kill me, you won't be able to see your family.
I won't kill you.
Sorry, but I have a high pain tolerance.
Whatever you do, I won't spill.
Ted Fukui did.
That won't work on me.
If you don't hurry, your family will be in trouble.
Shidou, you're no longer useful.
Do you know what that means?
They'll kill the hostages soon.
Would you like to make a deal with me?
What are the terms?
If you let me go, I'll tell you where they are.
The other way around.
If my family is safe, I'll let you go.
That's out of the question​.
My family's lives are at stake.
I'll let you go when I know they're safe. It's non-negotiable.
And if I refuse?
I'll test out... how high your pain tolerance really is.
Start the car.
It's been 30 minutes.
Kill Shidou's family.
They'll interfere with our plan B.
Ichiki!
Hurry up with the preparations to leave.
Got it.
One more thing...
Kill the hostages.
Do you think Dad will make it in time?
Let's wait.
I'm sure he'll come.
It'll be okay. We'll wait.
This is farewell. Come here.
It'll be over in the blink of an eye. You won't feel a thing. Come on.
- Stop... - Get away from her!
You...!
Let go... you bitch!
Bitch... let go!
You...!
- Move! - No... no!
No!
If he'd killed us, there would've been two gunshots.
That was the second one...
What do we do?
Hide him.
- Hide... Hide... - Do it! There's no other choice!
Miyu! Hurry, take his foot!
Hurry!
Aoi Touko
Do I keep going straight?
Yeah.
Where are we heading?
Don't worry. I'll tell you the way.
To your precious family.
