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.
You piece of shit!
I can't trust your group anymore.
My doctor...?
Who are you?
Let's meet in 30 minutes. A red cap and beard.
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 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Events occur in real time.
- Do you have a second? - Yes.
There should be cash hidden somewhere in this room.
- Find it. - Roger.
Captain Shidou. Don't Ms. Shingyouji's actions count as self-defense?
Unfortunately, she pulled the knife without warning.
There's also video of the stabbing.
You're the one who put them in contact!
Yes. But... I never expected her to stab him.
- Did he force her to do something? - Not that either.
She ignored my signal and suddenly pulled out a knife.
Party leader, there are still multiple assassins on the move.
Please leave things here to us and leave.
Party leader, let's get moving.
Let me know if there's any progress.
Yes, of course.
They found this.
- Cash? - Yeah. There's ten million yen.
I wonder if they purposely used cash to make it harder to trace.
Guess so.
I'll take it. Where's Sora Park Tower?
Wait. Are you going to pose as Alexis?
- I don't think it'll fool him. - I won't know if I don't try.
- Are you serious?! - Yeah.
The person Alexis was going to meet
is a lead in the case.
I'll arrange for backup.
Shidou's wife and daughter?
Their whereabouts are still unknown.
What about the payphone the daughter called from...?
We deduced its location and searched it right away,
but we only found fingerprints on the payphone,
and no tracks yet...
What are the autopsy results from the agents who guarded them?
There's no details yet,
but it looks like Yamazaki and Tsuzuki were attacked without warning
and weren't able to protect them.
It was likely done by trained professionals.
Rikka Shidou and Miyu Shidou, find them both ASAP!
- I've called headquarters. - What about the captain?
Don't tell him anything yet. Nothing.
But it's his wife and daughter!
- We have to tell him...! - There's no need to tell him.
But what if he calls and asks?
Deal with it accordingly! Transfer him to me.
Your mother may have been kidnapped by them again.
If I could find Kanbayashi's contact info...
Can't you unlock this?
How would I know the password?
If you know numbers like Go's birthday or something,
put them in!
It won't work!
You showed up out of nowhere, and what? You're looking for something?
I need to figure out where my mother is.
What does that mean? What'll you do if you find out?
I'll tell the police.
Huh? Ken, is this girl okay?
Quit it with the police. I told you they can't be trusted.
Then I'll give it to my dad.
Her daddy, she says!
When Go comes back, he'll be pissed.
Didn't you tell her that Go is dead?
If I told her... she'd panic.
Go's brother Jin will be here soon.
Don't tell him either.
Nothing.
I shouldn't have come.
Your name is Rikka.
Your daughter's name is Miyu.
Miyu... My daughter...
You told me that your daughter was more attached to her father than to you.
I see...
You and your husband were separated for a time,
and we happened to meet at a sushi restaurant.
What's our relationship?
Friends.
But to be honest,
I had hoped for more than that.
And so?
In the end, you couldn't go through with it
and went home.
You told me not to message or call you, and I gave up.
Maybe it was for Miyu's sake...
I can't remember anything...
You should really get examined at the hospital.
No hospitals...!
Okay. I'll examine you.
Yes... do that.
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 on earth is this?
Evidence that Joushuu admitted that he was going to frame Yuuta.
What do you think?
I'm something of a lawyer myself.
In order for this to be evidence,
we need to prove that it's real.
But we can give it to the mass media and charge them.
No.
The mass media doesn't pursue the truth.
They just write for entertainment.
Winning the election,
reversing the ruling and opposition parties to become Prime Minister,
or being embroiled in a pointless scandal — which do you choose?
Get rid of that right away.
If something like that gets out,
it won't just destroy your political life.
Even the survival of the party will be jeopardized.
Why?
The voting has already started. Today's victory is assured.
You'll be the designated head of the new leading party,
and, without a doubt, you'll become Japan's first female Prime Minister.
If you do something stupid, it'll be a huge blow to the party.
Anyone can see the reasoning.
The voters will be the ones to decide.
Especially since they're in the middle of voting.
What's so stupid about telling the people the truth?
Having it announced by someone else, and being forced to explain,
is even more stupid!
Mago, what do you think?
I'm against announcing it today.
But, Mago...
Don't rush the discussion, Urara.
I'm saying that this'll be your trump card.
Trump card...?
The only ones who know about the existence of the recording are us and Yuuta, right?
Yes.
Then hiding it won't be hard.
Put it to good use as a trump card after you become Prime Minister.
How?
It means you have something on some powerful people.
If you have this, they won't be able to manipulate you.
It's Shidou. Any problems?
- No. - I can't connect to the division head.
He's over here. I'll put him on.
Thanks. Were you able to talk to my daughter and wife?
Not yet.
I'll call them myself. Give me the safehouse's number.
Please wait. I'll check it.
- It's the captain. - What's wrong?
- He wants to know the safehouse's number. - Okay, let me talk to him.
Shouldn't we tell him the truth that they're missing after all?
Right now, Shidou's duty is to protect party leader Asakura.
You can tell him after things settle down.
- I can't agree. - The call?
Line 2.
I've taken the phone. It's Onitsuka. What's going on over there?
- I'm on my way to meet someone. - Who?
Someone Alexis was going to meet.
- Who is it? - I don't know.
- You don't know?! - Looks like he was going to give him ten million.
I'm going to go and pose as Alexis.
Don't be stupid! It's too dangerous!
No, there's no other choice. Send backup just in case.
We can't wait for Alexis to recover.
This is our only lead.
Fine. I'll send a team.
Also, I want to call the safehouse where my daughter and wife are.
According to Yamazaki's report, they're both sleeping now.
I see. When they wake up, have them call me.
All right.
What's going on?
It's always one thing after another with him, geez!
A backup team is coming.
Good.
What did Rikka say?
Nothing in particular.
It just seemed like she didn't want to talk to me.
I see...
It's understandable.
I'm sure she had a lot on her mind.
But maybe I should've stayed until the end?
I should've talked to Rikka properly... about the situation with you.
Wasn't she unwilling to?
Even so, I should've told her.
Why don't you call her?
- Try calling Yamazaki. - Okay.
You've reached the voicemail service.
He's not picking up. He might be working.
- Please leave a message...
Let's call again later.
I've... caused you a lot of trouble.
No, I'm the one...
Harimoto? That'll be trouble.
He and Shidou are incompatible. Find someone else!
Yes.
What?
Please send out someone to search for the captain's wife and daughter.
There's no one free at the moment. What about you?
Chief Mizuishi is gone, and my hands are full too.
Mizuishi's with Shidou?
Yes.
Did those two really break up?
Aren't you suspicious too?
This isn't related to work...
It is, so I'm telling you!
You won't be able to keep your head, will you?
Wait, wait. I'm on your side.
Why did Mizuishi go with Shidou?
Seems like she chose to have fun instead of doing her duty here...
Division head, that's enough!
Having our personal lives pried into is irritating.
Then you should clearly separate personal and professional!
What does that mean?
Because of Mizuishi, discipline here is lax.
She covered for Shidou's violation of the rules,
and, maybe because she was influenced by him, violated them herself. Right?
Going out with Shidou, going out with you,
that woman is busy disturbing discipline.
Division head, that's not true.
Nanjou... are you still defending her?
You're completely biased...!
Yes.
You called?
Close the door and sit down.
What?
I wanted to talk to you before I gave the recording to the police.
The enemy is fearsome. If you underestimate them...
I'm already prepared.
Really?
TV, newspapers, magazines, all kinds of media will target and criticize you!
Do you think you can endure it?!
In other words, as my mom,
you're telling me not to go to the police. That's what you mean?
At least think it over.
I... don't want to have any more regrets.
I've been suffering for the last two years.
It was a mistake.
Back then, I should've told you the truth, without running away.
But... I was scared.
I blamed you for not being supportive.
That was a lie.
I wanted to make myself feel better by blaming my own mother.
I wanted to make somebody the bad guy.
But now it'll be different.
Has Alexis called you?
No.
It doesn't matter, I have my hands full searching for Shidou's wife.
You lost her?
I'll track her down. The car fell down a cliff and was on fire.
The police shouldn't have found it yet.
And?
There were no bodies in the burnt up car.
She can't have gotten far.
Check the hospital.
I already checked. Don't tell me what to do.
You're the one who lost her.
I'll handle it.
How?
I'm on my way to Shidou's house.
It's likely that they'll go back there.
Well, you'll see.
Man... it's not working! None of it.
- Wrong...
- I'm out of ideas. - What should we do?
Like I know.
Ken, we have things to do, send her home.
What things?
I don't know. Ask Jin.
He'll be back soon. This girl's in the way.
Even if you say that, I can't kick her out.
You know how Jin is, right?
He'll be annoyed if someone like that is here.
- I'll leave. - Wait, Miyu!
C'mon...
Just let me talk to her.
- Where are you going to go? - Dunno!
But even if I stay here, nothing...
You should go home.
The kidnappers must know where we live, and Mom won't go near it.
Then hide here a little longer.
I don't want to stay here and be told I'm a bother!
But how are you planning to leave? Walking?
I don't have any money...
Wait.
Take it.
You can get a taxi on the main street.
Come with me.
I can't. I don't want the police to find me.
You helped us, so they'll be lenient.
What if you turn yourself in?
The truth is, I'm on probation.
If I'm caught this time, I'll have no way out.
Here.
So that's how it is...
I... just wish...
we'd met a different way.
Me too.
Is your wound okay?
Yeah.
You... saved my life, Ken.
You're wrong. I'm the one who got you into this mess.
That's wrong too. It was Go's fault.
Gou's brother Jin Samejima
Yo, Ken.
Hey, what happened yesterday?
Nothing much.
You look terrible, though.
It's nothing.
Who's that girl?
She was just stopping by.
Hey, Go, where are you?
- He's not here! - He still hasn't come back?!
- Go outside and get a taxi, quick. - Okay.
Where's my brother?
He's out.
- Where? - I don't know.
- Where's the money? - Go has it somewhere...
- I'll be going, then. - Wait.
What's your name?
Miyu.
What are you to Ken? His girl?
- A friend. - She was just about to leave.
- No. Don't move from that spot. - Why?
She's some random girl I don't know. It's obviously suspicious!
She's my friend. She's not suspicious!
No, until my brother gets back with the money and the deal is done,
no one sets foot outside.
All units, contact me when you're in position.
All units in position.
- Check for movement. - Roger.
- Channels? - One. Everyone's on the same channel.
- I'll take the west entrance. - Okay.
Yes.
It's Onitsuka. Are you ready?
Everyone's in position here. What's happening with the backup?
I need to talk to you about that. The backup chief is Tetsuji Harimoto.
Harimoto? He'll be a problem.
I know that.
Then why?
I objected, but it was headquarters' decision.
Headquarters again... What if civilians are harmed?
That won't be a problem. I've dispatched a second team also.
The second team will handle the civilians.
Keep your personal feelings in check and do your job.
Fine.
Don't provoke Harimoto in any way.
Okay?
What's the matter?
Tetsuji Harimoto is coming as the backup chief.
- That's the worst. - He's got a grudge against me.
All units are already in position. Is this an urgent call?
To Yamazaki at the safe house. I want to make sure my family is safe.
Okay.
Connecting to voicemail service.
- Please leave a message... - No good. He's not picking up.
Connecting to voicemail service.
- Why isn't he picking up? - Dunno...
Movement check complete.
Roger.
Alright, let's go.
Yo, Genba Shidou. Long time no see.
Pretty sure
Tetsuji Harimoto CTU Investigator
that was back when you arrested my dear partner Sekiguchi?
Mr. Harimoto, don't say that.
Well, well, you're with chief Mizuishi.
Is the backup team in position already?
Of course. We're loyal to our duty.
Unlike some people.
Say, Shidou,
how is it that you don't get fired,
no matter how many rules you break?
Are you bribing the bosses?
Mr. Harimoto.
I don't care what you say. Just focus on the mission for now.
What's the target's sign?
A red hat and beard.
There may be people dressed similarly by coincidence.
Don't take action until I tell you to.
You keep your cool too.
We can't shoot an innocent person over a misunderstanding, can we?
Stop it. We're in the middle of an important mission.
Well, good luck to chief Mizuishi, at least.
Harimoto, don't cause any trouble.
I emailed you the crime scene report from the room where Alexis was stabbed.
Thanks.
Also, I heard that things went bad at the safehouse.
They took down six CTU agents.
There's so much going on, I can't even keep up with the work.
Will this ever be resolved?
Dunno. No one knows.
An eyewitness report has come in.
- On the captain's family? - Yes, his wife.
- Milo, hurry and collect the information. - Roger.
Behavior analysis team, track down captain Shidou's wife immediately!
- Yes sir! - The rest of you, go after the daughter!
Yes sir!
There's an eyewitness report.
A woman who looks like Rikka Shidou
was walking along Moriguchi Hill on Route 75.
It's near the safehouse.
- Was she alone? - So it seems.
- Injuries are probably minor. - Where is she now?
Unknown.
If she's traveling on foot, she should be within searchable range.
Check security cameras in the area. Track her by satellite.
What about going to Shidou's house?
I sent Wakamatsu, who was on another case.
Alright, he's a good one.
Any other pain besides the bruises?
Ah... around here, a little...
I feel sluggish and heavy.
I see.
Just from what I've seen,
I think it's transient global amnesia.
It's triggered by a severe psychological shock.
You should really get properly examined at the hospital...
No hospitals.
I don't know why, but I don't want to go.
I feel like something bad will happen...
Nothing will happen. It'll be okay.
- But the hospital... - I'll be with you the whole time.
Even so, I don't want to.
If it's nerve damage and it's not treated, your memories may never return.
Let's go to the hospital.
No way.
I'm scared.
Just don't take me to the hospital...
I want to go home...
Come on, please. Take me home.
Thank you.
There's something I need to finish up.
- I won't be long. - Yes ma'am.
Okay, later.
- I'll be going, then. - Good-bye.
Akiyama, where is Urara going?
She's meeting with the PR team in the conference room.
- When will she be done? - In about 15 or 20 minutes.
I see. Okay.
Come in.
You have a call from Ms. Kusumi from the Saitama branch.
Tell her I'm busy right now and I'll call her back.
- But... - I'll call her back.
Roger.
Where's Yuuta?
I don't know.
It seems like you said something to him.
I did. You should too.
What did you tell him?
That things will be tough from now on, so I want him to support me.
Yuuta's already an adult.
He won't listen to whatever his parents say.
It's okay, he'll listen to what you say.
Please talk to him.
What's this?
I got rid of it.
Got rid of it?
That USB memory stick?
I'm aware that you'll be angry.
It's for the family's sake.
I'd do anything to protect my family.
It's not the family you want to protect.
Being the husband of the Prime Minister is trivial, is it?
That's not it.
I didn't want to admit it, but I was right.
What about?
This.
The USB memory stick you got rid of was a dummy.
It's a pity.
I just couldn't trust you,
so I tried a test.
I did it for my family.
Prepare for a press conference immediately.
- But, ma'am... - Just get it ready.
There'll be a press conference in three hours.
That's too late. I'll do it in an hour.
Don't be rash.
Until it's time to count the votes,
you won't be able to get the major media companies to treat it as news.
But they'll still come to cover it.
Send out our party's video broadcast with the Internet-related people too.
Calm down, Urara.
I am calm.
What about the location?
The conference room downstairs.
Tell the reporters that I need them to listen to me.
Reserve the conference room right away. And contact the press.
Itsuki, can you hear me?
- I hear you well. - Where are you?
At the bottom of the west side escalator.
Roger.
How about Harimoto?
I can't see you well.
Move forward more.
Okay, I can see you. That's the spot.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Ooh, so kind.
That's unexpected.
Mr. Harimoto, we're in the middle of a job.
Don't get mad. I just want to talk to Genba Shidou.
- What about? - Just some small talk.
Shidou, have you heard about Sekiguchi's wife?
What about her?
She vanished into the ocean.
When?
Two weeks ago. You didn't know?
There was no suicide note. So sad, isn't it?
Four kids, husband in prison.
No wonder she was exhausted.
Because you accused Sekiguchi of corruption for his little side job.
I'm sorry to hear that, but we can talk about it later.
Yeah yeah yeah, since you're so busy.
Mr. Harimoto, we're on duty.
I know.
I have some free time, so I'm just reminiscing.
Harimoto, I understand how you feel.
Let's talk when this is over. I have some things to say too.
I certainly want to hear them.
If I remember correctly, you liked meat, right? I know a good restaurant.
My treat.
Let's have a nice long talk.
Onitsuka.
There's trouble.
Mr. Harimoto is picking a fight with the captain over the radio.
Even if you tell me that, I can't swap him out now.
But we won't be able to continue the mission at this rate.
- Which radio channel? - One.
Got it. I'll handle the rest.
This is Nanjou.
It's Onitsuka. Connect me to radio channel 1 that Shidou's team is using.
Roger.
Harimoto. It's Onitsuka. Can you hear me?
I can hear you, division head.
Several CTU agents have died today.
Leave personal grudges for later. Got it?
Just think about your mission for now.
I know.
Got it, Shidou? No pointless conversations.
Roger.
Okay, I'm counting on you.
This is Wakamatsu. I've arrived at Shidou's house.
I'll take a look around.
Do you recognize anything?
I don't know.
We've passed by here together before.
I see... Are we close to my house?
Not yet. A little longer.
Ken is back here.
I think Go will be back around 7:00 too.
Yeah. Okay, bye.
- Is it okay to say that? - What?
- If he doesn't come back... - Go keeps his promises.
I'm sure he'll be back in time.
But...
Go knows that it's an important deal.
Don't worry.
You can't tell them that Go is dead. Got it?
- Even if we hide it, they'll find out. - You absolutely can't tell them.
What if they realize?
If Jin finds out, we'll be in trouble.
- What? - I don't get it.
- Me either, what the deal is. - No, about you.
Me? Why?
You're smart, and cool, so why are you doing this?
- I'm fine with this life I have now. - With this?
Getting beaten up, getting hurt.
Your friends are all shady. Are you really okay with that?
Listen, I'm not a princess like you.
- It's always been like this... - That's an excuse.
I'm saying it because it's you.
If I had a chance, I'd climb out too.
But for now, the question is how to get through this.
But he can't do the deal unless Go comes back, right?
Go is already dead.
Hey, Ken. We're drinking, come on.
What's the deal?
Some brand-new stuff that should sell pretty well.
I'll buy it with the money Go is bringing home. Didn't he tell you?
No, not at all.
If we sell it all here, we can more than double our money.
It's good business.
- It has to be today, right? - Obviously.
What if Go doesn't come back?
Won't happen. He wouldn't just take the money and run.
He keeps his promises. You know that too.
He's that kind of guy.
Keep the kids away.
Roger. Send out squad 1.
Here he comes.
It's him.
Hey.
Alexis?
Let's talk here.
We agreed on inside the store.
There's a lot of people inside. Anyway, sit down.
The money?
- Before that, confirmation. - Of what?
I need to make sure you're the real deal.
What's the job?
At 7:20 tonight,
I'll cause a power outage in the section of Gotemba you said, then restore it after five minutes.
That's all?
Something's off.
What?
I thought so earlier, but the voice I spoke to at the beginning was different.
You're not Alexis, are you?
He's on the run!
Squad 2!
I see him.
Don't shoot! I'll catch him!
Stop the escalator!
Harimoto, don't!
Everyone, please stand back.
Hey! Hey!
Medics, ASAP!
Harimoto, I told you not to shoot!
It's because you didn't secure him quickly enough.
It's better than him getting away.
Don't screw around!
This is your house.
