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.
What are the terrorists really after?
Is it connected to an operation carried out seven years ago?
We're doing everything we possibly can to investigate.
Please let me do it.
4:30.
I'll go to the room right then.
No way! Hey...!
Miyu!
- What happened? - I can't remember...
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 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Events occur in real time.
Mom!
Mom...!
Mom!
How are you feeling? Can you remember anything?
No...
It must be tough.
This is my first time meeting someone with amnesia.
Thank you for your kindness...
What's your name?
Yuki Aoyama.
Yuki...
Ah... isn't this a detour?
It's okay. The hospital is right nearby.
Let's have a doctor examine you.
I apologize for not knowing what was going on at the breakfast party.
This time, it's a special situation related to a top-secret mission.
- I'm asking for your cooperation. - All right.
- This is chief Mizuishi. - It's nice to meet you.
Do you already know Miho Shingyouji?
Yes.
I apologize for the trouble.
Let's hurry. There's no time.
Where's Alexis?
There's no sign of him coming back yet.
All of the hotel's entrances are being monitored.
Police officers are staking out the nearby roads.
They'll let us know as soon as he returns.
They may be watching our movements as well.
Be very careful.
Alexis's room is 1136. We've checked it in advance.
There was nothing suspicious.
Camera installation will be done in under ten minutes.
I want to use a nearby room as a monitor room.
Yes. We've reserved this room.
Make sure we can see every spot in the room from multiple angles.
Roger. Ms. Shingyouji, come inside to get prepared.
Yes.
What about the regular guests?
We asked everyone to vacate this floor so that we wouldn't be noticed.
The hospital should be up ahead.
Ah... could you please stop?
What's the matter?
It's somehow familiar...
Did you remember something?
I feel like I've been here before with someone...
- Like your husband? - Huh...?
It looks like you're married.
I don't...
We should go to the hospital after all...
Wait. I think I remember something.
We're not open for business yet...
I'm sorry. Um... may I see the manager?
I think he'll be here in about 20 minutes.
I see...
What'll you do?
I'll wait.
Excuse me. May I wait here until the manager​ arrives?
Feel free.
I know I've been here before.
Perhaps you'll be able to remember.
When the manager arrives, I'll ask him if he knows who I am.
Ah... I'm sorry. Don't worry about me, go.
Will you be okay if I leave you like this?
Yes...
Oh, can you give me your phone number?
I'd like to thank you when my memory returns. Please.
All right.
I work as a jewelry designer.
Taxi fare for if things don't work out here.
I think that'll get you to the hospital.
You're going so far...
Thank you very much. I'll definitely pay you back.
Take care of yourself.
You don't need to force yourself to act. Behave like you always do.
But... I'll get goosebumps if he touches me.
What do you usually talk about?
It's not the kind of relationship where we have long conversations.
I see...
How do I put it...?
It's like we just made our emotions physical.
Please don't misunderstand.
I'm not usually like that...
It's okay, I understand.
I'm sorry.
Ms. Shingyouji.
Ma'am...! I'm deeply sorry!
I heard about what's going on. Are you really okay?
Yes.
You're not forcing yourself?
I want to help with the investigation.
I'll do it.
Captain Shidou, do you have a minute?
Isn't this going too far?
It's a necessary measure. And it's her own decision.
But... isn't he a professional killer?
How could she, a civilian, get information out of him...?
But Alexis isn't acting alone.
Just catching him won't end this.
Please understand.
I promise not to put her in any danger.
If anything happens, the task force will rush in.
You've had a rough time, what with the kidnapping of your family.
Yeah.
I think that you're getting emotional because of your anger at the criminals.
I'm a professional.
I'm just working on an investigation that will lead to the capture of criminals.
Fine. I'll trust you.
Thank you.
But I'm determined to protect my own staffer.
I won't forgive you if anything happens.
I promise that nothing will.
CTU.
Genba Shidou, please!
The captain's out.
It's an emergency! Contact him!
Who are you?
His daughter Miyu.
Aren't you at the safehouse...?
We were attacked there! The guards were killed,
and we ran away, but my mother disappeared along the way!
Hold on.
Our agents at the safehouse were killed...?!
Mom... my mother might've been kidnapped again!
Please! Connect me to my father!
Calm down. Where are you now?
At a payphone! Who are you?!
Nanjou. I work for your father.
I'll come pick you up, so tell me where you are.
- Miyu? - Trying to trick me again?!
It's okay. Deep breaths.
What is it?
I got a call from the captain's daughter.
She said Yamazaki's team at the safehouse has been killed.
Seriously?!
She sounded pretty desperate.
It's not even ringing.
It's Onitsuka. Something's happened at the safehouse.
Form a team and go check it out right away.
Weapons are permitted.
Should I tell the captain?
No, not until later.
But... it's his family.
Shidou needs to focus on his mission right now.
Miho Shingyouji is meeting Alexis in 15 minutes!
All right.
Then could you tell him as soon as the mission is over?
Of course I'll tell him once this is over. Is that okay with you?!
We're ready on standby here.
Roger.
How is she?
She's insisting she'll do it... but honestly, I'm worried.
We need her to do her best here. This is our chance to track them down.
- What if she fails? - We'll step in at once and secure him.
- Can she do it? - We have no choice but to believe in her!
What?
What's wrong?
Sorry. I'm worried about Rikka and Miyu...
I've been uneasy for a while.
It'll be okay. Your wife and Miyu were both fine.
I hope so...
What did the doctor say?
Nothing much. It's just some scratches.
I see.
I'll go do the final check.
- Itsuki. - Yes.
Yamazaki interviewed them?
Yes.
Why didn't you do it?
I made sure they were safe before I came back.
- But I... - Chief Mizuishi.
Hold on. I'll be right there.
Fine. Do the final check.
Yes.
Shut up...
Hello?
Ken?
Miyu...? I told you not to call me...
The safehouse was attacked!
The CTU agents with us were killed,
and my mom who I ran away with disappeared along the way,
and they're chasing me!
Hey, can I go there? It's your acquaintance's house, right?
No.
If you don't help me, I'll tell the police everything!
Hey, I told you to quit it!
Tell me the address.
Fine.
Yes, come in.
How's the election going?
Everything's fine.
That's good.
Did you go somewhere?
I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing all of a sudden?
You not going to the police
wasn't because of the election, it was for me.
Did your dad tell you?
No.
What if there was evidence left behind in Touko Aoi's office?
Evidence that you were the one who killed her.
Are you trying to frame me?
This is the only advice I can give you.
Follow your mother's example and wash your hands of this matter.
What did you do...?!
If he'd found out you were recording him, you wouldn't have gotten away with it.
It'll be okay. Now you've got evidence.
Transfer the recording data to me. Delete it from your phone.
What are you going to do?
I'll take care of it. Trust me.
Okay.
Can we check the manuscript of the Daily Morning Journal beforehand?
I'll check.
- Who's putting together the exit polls? - Ushijima.
Please show me first once you've collected them.
Yes sir.
Do you have a minute? I need to talk to you afterwards.
Talk? What about, exactly?
I'll call Mago too. Let's talk then.
Seems like Urara Asakura is staying in Tokyo after all.
Is that intel from that woman?
I'm meeting her at the hotel after this.
Why did the party leader change her plans?
She said she doesn't know.
Isn't she on the campaign staff? Even though she's right by the party leader?
Who knows. I guess she's nervous about some stuff.
That woman just parted from you, and she already wants to see you again?
She's thirsty for me.
Alexis, if you underestimate women, you're going to get hurt.
Miho's not that kind of woman.
There's not much time left. Failure will no longer be tolerated.
Leave it to me. I won't fail.
I'll make sure to get the party leader's schedule out of her.
All right.
Get rid of her once she's served her purpose.
Roger. Trust me and wait.
We've installed fiberscopes. He'll never find out.
What kind of camera is that?
I'll explain. Sit down.
The lens is pinhole-sized,
so it's so small that you can't recognize it even if you know it's there.
With multiple cameras, there are no blind spots in this room.
Will you be able to hear us too?
Of course. Is that okay?
Ah... yes.
Alexis will be here soon.
I want you to put this transmitter on him.
With this, we'll be able to track all his movements.
Okay, but... where?
In his wallet. He'll always carry it wherever he goes.
Once I see that you've planted this transmitter,
I'll call you.
- Should I answer it? - Yes.
Tell him the party leader is calling you,
and leave the room right away.
Put that in his wallet,
and answer when you call me, and...
Leave the room right away.
Got it.
One more thing.
If you get even a little uneasy along the way, say the password.
"I have a slight cold."
"I have a slight cold..."
If we hear that, the task force will move in immediately.
That'd ruin everything...
It doesn't matter. Your safety is the top priority.
Okay. I'll try.
Let me check one last time.
Are you sure about this?
I don't mind if you quit now. No one will blame you.
I'm okay.
You've given me a chance to make amends... I'm grateful.
I'm sure it'll go okay.
Thank you for waiting. I'm Okamoto, the manager.
Well, if it isn't Mrs. Shidou! It's been a while.
You know who I am?
Of course. Where's Dr. Hamahata today?
Dr. Hamahata...?
Did I come here often?
Mrs. Shidou...? There's something wrong, isn't there?
To tell you the truth, I was in some kind of accident, and my memory...
I can't remember most things.
But I recognized this store...
I'm Shidou...
I wonder if I'm married...?
You really don't remember?
No.
I thought I would remember something if I talked to you here...
Dr. Hamahata doesn't ring a bell either?
I'm sorry. Who might Dr. Hamahata be?
He's a doctor at the nearby hospital. You two often came to this store.
He is... not my husband?
No.
Dr. Hamahata is a doctor, so I'm sure he'll be able to help you.
Shall I call the hospital?
Please.
- Okay, let's get started. - Yes sir!
Where's Ms. Shingyouji?
She asked to be left alone while we wait for word.
That's understandable...
Itsuki, tell me.
What?
- What happened at the safehouse? - Focus on this for now.
I'm even more concerned when secrets are kept from me.
Your wife realized about the two of us.
A woman's intuition is sharp...
I couldn't deny it when she asked.
- Did you tell her we broke up? - Of course.
But she seemed shocked...
That there was a woman you were seeing while you were separated
and that it was me, your coworker...
I tried to tell her when I returned home.
But she wouldn't let me.
She said she didn't want to hear it.
I... didn't mean to hurt her.
I know.
It's all my fault.
Captain Shidou.
What is it?
Alexis has returned.
- He'll arrive there in two and a half minutes. - Roger.
Attention, all personnel in lobby and on the floor.
The target is here.
There's no wallet.
Maybe it's in his jacket pocket.
Tell Ms. Shingyouji
that his wallet is most likely in his jacket pocket.
Roger.
She'll go in a minute.
Roger.
It's starting.
Yeah.
Did you miss me?
I was dying of loneliness.
Me too.
Even though we were only apart for two hours.
It felt like two years...
Are you okay?
Yeah. Why?
You seem off somehow.
I'm the same as always.
Really?
No, maybe not.
Turns out I'm actually concerned about the voting results...
Don't you know what to expect? C'mon, that's what the exit polls are for.
But that's still just a prediction...
What can I do to get you to relax?
It's still daytime, but...
Hm?
I want to drink a little.
Alcohol.
Anything else?
Don't you know?
Do you feel better?
Yeah, much...
Something still feels kinda off.
Really...?
This is dangerous.
Task force, stand by outside the door.
Roger.
Are you hiding something?
I'm going to go fix my makeup.
- Make me a watered-down drink. - Okay.
- Good. - Alright.
This is bad!
Calm down...!
Miho.
- He'll find out! - Task force, stand by!
All done. Here you go.
Thank you.
Are you tired?
Is the stress of the election peaking?
But that's the job.
When it's over, let's go on a trip together.
Where?
Anywhere.
As long as I'm with you.
You'll have to thank party leader Asakura... for deciding to stay in Tokyo.
Yeah...
- He's going to notice...! - Don't move in yet.
I wonder why the party leader changed her plans?
Who knows...
Is she staying in Tokyo the whole time?
I don't know.
If she were to declare victory, would it be at this hotel?
You're always asking about my boss.
Ah... I'm not interested in the party leader. The only one I'm interested in is you.
But since she's your boss, I wanted to know her plans.
She hasn't told me yet, really.
I see...
Well, wherever you go, I'll follow.
But I can't believe it.
How could the party leader
not tell a staffer as awesome as you her schedule​?
How do you know I'm so great?
It hasn't been that long since we met...
You never talk to me enough...
Isn't it just physical?
She's provoking him...?
Was that a complaint?
Or a request?
Maybe both.
Oh... I know.
I haven't eaten anything since this morning.
That's why I'm cranky.
Get me something, please.
What do you want?
Let me see a menu.
I was expecting something different.
Okay. Now!
She did it.
It's done. Withdraw!
Even though we just met, I really do love you.
You already know, right? That I love you so much.
Withdrawal complete.
Okay, I'll call her.
- She's not picking up. Why? - Pick up already!
You're not picking up?
It's just the staff.
- It might be urgent​. - It can wait.
Right now... this is more important.
She hung up on me.
What...?
- Say it again. - What?
That you love me.
I love you.
Hey...
How much do you love me?
So much that it's hard to be apart even for a moment.
Is it the same for you?
- No use. She's not picking up! - Why...?
What would you like?
Can you get me the tomato pasta?
Okay.
- She took off her jacket. - What is she doing?
One tomato pasta.
Is she not going to leave the room?
Yeah, thanks. How long will it take?
What is she thinking?
Okay. Hurry, please.
What did she take?
It's no good. I can't see her hands.
What would you like next?
- This is bad. She has a knife! - Task force, move in!
You piece of shit!
You...!
What're you doing?!
You scumbag!
Monster!
- Calm down! - Don't mess with me...!
Secured!
Mizuishi! Get the bath towels!
- Call a medic! - Yes sir!
Send an ambulance to room 1136 immediately!
Don't die!
Here you go.
The location of the payphone you asked for earlier.
Thanks for the help.
But still, with a payphone, the info is limited.
I'll send forensics right away.
Please wait a minute.
- Is Ken here? - Who are you?
Ken's friend.
How many times did you call him?
- Ken told me to come here. - He didn't tell me that.
And who are you? Please check with Ken.
I was going to tell you.
So it wasn't an acquaintance's house.
She's Go's girlfriend.
This is their hangout.
What's going on?
- I'll explain later. - Do it now.
- Don't get mad. Let's talk inside. - About what?
The truth is, there was some trouble last night, and Go's friends got to him.
Miss, please pay!
Ken, can you lend me cab fare?
How much?
Doctor Keisuke Hamahata
Mrs. Shidou.
Do you know who I am?
My doctor...?
That's not it.
- Manager. - Yes.
Has she ordered anything?
No. She said she didn't want anything...
- Manager, please get her a warm drink. - Of course.
Relax.
Let's try to figure out what happened together.
We're treating you now. You'll be okay.
It's okay, it's okay.
I underestimated her mental state.
Genba Shidou, this is your mistake!
- I didn't expect this. - This is why I was against it!
The problems start now. We'll have to drastically change our strategy.
Will Alexis survive?
It's 50/50. Even if he survives, it won't be possible to interrogate him right away.
- Were there any leads in the room? - We're searching now.
What am I supposed to tell my superiors?!
In any case, don't let them interfere. I'll turn in a report later.
The party leader's here. Hold on.
- Is Ms. Shingyouji safe? - She's in custody.
Why?
Because she stabbed Alexis.
It'll be okay.
Was she... defending herself?
No. She disregarded the plan and stabbed him out of the blue.
I couldn't have predicted that.
Because you pushed her too hard!
She didn't seem strange.
- Where is she? - Listening in the monitor room.
I'll call you back.
Ms. Shingyouji!
Ma'am...!
It'll be okay. I'll arrange for a lawyer right away.
No matter what... I can't forgive him...!
Quiet, never mind that.
I'm going ahead to check Alexis's room.
Party leader, we'll take it from here.
I can't trust your group anymore.
Number Withheld
Let her rest a bit until she calms down.
Yes, all right.
What is it?
- Captain, come here, please. - Okay.
Excuse me for a moment.
What?
Alexis's phone.
Number Withheld
What do we do?
I'll try answering.
Do you have the money?
Of course.
Let's meet in 30 minutes. Okay?
- Where? - I already told you.
For confirmation.
The Sora Park Tower plaza.
Your sign?
A red cap and beard.
- Got it. - Don't be late.
