Don't go inside! Stop!

Sergeant sakurai!

The past

can be changed.

It started with a
walkie-talkie with no batteries.

Please don't give up.

Who are you?

What I heard from that
device that shouldn't work

was a voice from the past.

If you're really in 1997,

then prevent the next murder.
Catch the killer.

You're the only one who can do it!

As an investigator of cold cases,
I worked with sergeant oyama,

an officer from the past,
to solve a number of old cases.

The only people who know about this
unpredictable device

discovered dead

are myself...

Murder attempt

and sergeant sakurai,
head of the cold case investigation unit.

This is Mr. Oyama's walkie-talkie.

Why do you have this?

Remember what you said?

If you could communicate with the past,
you'd ask to protect those you love.

It's better to regret doing
something than to regret doing nothing.

Aren't you curious about your own future?

I don't need to know my future.

I should have told him but I couldn't.

That two months later on April 15th,

he'd be killed at tanihara
memorial hospital.

Mr. Oyama...

Are you really sergeant oyama?

Rookie...

Why do you have this?

Listen carefully.

Don't go to tanihara memorial
hospital on April 15th.

Oyama or your daughter? Choose one!

We discovered who killed sergeant oyama,

and were able to change his fate.

Are you ok? An ambulance is coming!

Thank you.

My memory has changed.

Sergeant oyama is alive.

"Police academy graduation"

on April 1, 2010,
the day I became a police officer,

Mr. Oyama and I had promised to meet.

But he never showed up.

Lieutenant saegusa.

Did someone murder him again?

Nobody knew what happened to him.

Sergeant oyama is alive.

We'll be able to meet someday.

I'm sure of it.

You can change the
future if you don't give up.

There's hope if you don't give up.

"Signal
the movie cold case investigation unit"

"January 25, 2021"

You've met with the prime minister
more than anyone else.

Did you know that, Mr. Mitani?

People keep track of the strangest things.

Job-wise, I'd rather keep a low profile.

- "Munehisa mitani deputy director,"
- well, please tell him

- "cabinet intelligence and research
office" - I'm looking forward to next week.

- Yes, sir.
- Good-bye.

We'll be playing the usual
golf course next weekend.

Yes, sir.

Hey, what the...

The vehicle driving on the
metropolitan expressway

was carrying cabinet of intelligence
deputy director munehisa mitani.

It lost control on a curve and crashed,

- "junki aoki,"
- killing Mr. Mitani and his driver.

- "Tmpd criminal investigation bureau
chief" - killing Mr. Mitani and his driver.

Awfully hectic, huh?

It's about that recent car crash.

The higher-ups are
holding a press conference.

Chief aoki,

we have the results from the lab.

It matches the gas from the
nishi-shinjuku terrorist attack.

It was "heron".

Aoki...

Regarding the car crash that killed
Mr. Mitani of cabinet intelligence

at 2 pm. Today in minato city,

tmpd will be handling this incident

as murder, not an accident.
We will investigate accordingly.

Shin-towa news. What is your rationale?

We have reason to
believe Mr. Mitani and his driver

were killed by poison
moments before the accident.

Any details on the poison?

It is still being analysed.

It was heron, right?

Michiru koizumi from weekly breath.

We obtained drive recorder footage
of the vehicle in front of Mr. Mitani's.

The symptoms of the victims

were the same as those of the 2001
nishi-shinjuku terrorist attack.

It was heron, wasn't it?

Public security police said at the time
that the terrorist group was eradicated

and all the heron was confiscated.

Tell us, chief aoki!

That is correct.

We have reason to believe that
the poison used in this case

was the va2 gas "heron".

Oh boy, he admitted it.

There's going to be an uproar.

Then this case is...

Deadly heron gas was used
in the nishi-shinjuku terrorist attack

killing a total of 21 people.

But that case was closed, wasn't it?

Yes. The terrorists were all arrested,

- "condemned terrorist"
- and the leader, amamiya,

- "ryuichi amamiya at time of arrest."
- Was sentenced to death and executed.

Public security police announced
that all the heron had been seized.

But now another similar
incident has occurred.

Does this suggest that
the terrorist case wasn't really over?

Perhaps some members of the
terrorist group evaded arrest...

- "Tokyo metropolitan police department"
- chief cabinet secretary ltagaki is here.

- "Shinjiro ltagaki chief cabinet secretary"
- as chief cabinet secretary, do you know

what my job is?

It's protecting the lives,

and assets of our citizens.

Therefore I am obligated to remove

anyone who might threaten them.

I don't just mean criminals.

Government officials and
senior police officials

who fail to produce results,
are also on my list.

I ask that you bring this
situation under control

and ease the public's fears.

Aoki, what's our line of investigation?

We'll re-investigate all parties
involved in the nishi-shinjuku case,

to determine where the
heron came from asap.

We ask that public
security fully cooperate.

Understood.

"Satoshi yamazaki, tmpd
public security bureau chief"

we'll share our investigative reports.

But we'd like you to tell us
everything you find out as well.

Aoki,

I saw your press conference.

You won't get a second chance.

I'm aware of that.

"Parliamentary vice-minister
of justice kato dies in crash."

"Parliamentary vice-minister
of defense Nakamura dies in crash."

Both deaths were accidental...

Yesterday's press
conference jogged my memory.

Let's look into these accidents.

The first accident
happened in November 2009.

Parliamentary vice-minister of
justice kato and his driver died.

The car crashed into a sidewalk
full of pedestrians.

Six were injured, three died.

Says here the victims
included a grade-school child.

Yes.

The second accident
happened two weeks later.

The parliamentary vice-minister of defense

also died in a car crash on her way
to the asean summit.

Seen in this light, both accidents
involved top government officials,

and were caused by the drivers' deaths.

They do resemble deputy
director mitani's case.

If they weren't really accidents,
then they're unsolved cases.

Saegusa could be on to something.

No forensic records or autopsy reports left
for either of these cases.

It's all been disposed of.

I did get a hold of one thing, though.

A report by an officer who
happened to witness the first accident.

What the... it's all blacked out.

Fishy, huh? All the important
parts have been covered up.

Who's the officer?

Let's see... sergeant
oyama of jonan precinct.

Let me see!

"Takeshi oyama"

"November 21, 2009"

but you gave me this address!

Come on, give me a break. Yes, you do that.

Hey! Call an ambulance!

Hey!

You ok? You ok?

Hana... my daughter...

Your daughter? Where?

Hey, hang in there!

You ok? Hang in there!

I'm here to help you!

Quick, get an ambulance!

There's no way it was an accident.
I saw it with my own eyes!

Mr. Kato and his driver were both
unconscious before the crash.

This was murder.

Give it a rest, man.

Ho deemed it an accident, so it is.

You're okay with this?
Civilians were killed!

What do you suggest we do?

Investigate again, what else?

Do over a case that ho took over?
A local precinct like us?

Are you stupid?
Go back to catching petty thieves.

You really don't know when to stop, do you?

"Higashi kanto hospital"

unfortunately, her mother was already dead
by the time she arrived here.

Hana suffered cardiac arrest
and a brain contusion,

but she's currently stable.

However,

she may never regain consciousness.

What did sergeant oyama see?

Sergeant oyama, can you hear me?

Sergeant oyama, it's saegusa.

Sergeant oyama, can you hear me?

Lieutenant saegusa.

Lieutenant saegusa, it's oyama!

How've you been?

Good! We finally connected again.

I didn't think it'd happen anymore.

So you're ok, then.

What do you mean? I'm perfectly fine.

It's been nine years.

Nine years?

It's 2021 here. What year are you in?

It's December 2009.

You investigated a crash that killed
a government official, right?

Yes, recently, actually...

A similar incident has occurred in 2021,

and we were looking over past cases.

Your report was the only remaining
document and it was blacked out.

What did you see, sergeant?

I saw the accident happen.

But the driver and the other man
were unconscious before the crash.

Hey, could you tell me about
the accident in your era?

Deputy director-general mitani of
cabinet intelligence was killed.

The killer used heron, the gas used
in the 2001 nishi-shinjuku terrorist case.

So if heron was used
in this case as well...

It means the killer strikes
again 12 years later.

So that's why we connected again.

Right?

Sergeant oyama,

what day is it over there?

Another similar accident
happens on the 5th.

December 5th?

That's in four days.

Who's the victim?

The ministry of defense's naka...

Sergeant?

Sergeant oyama, please respond!

Lieutenant saegusa?

Lieutenant?

Damn it!

Mr. Oyama said that?

Yes.

If the cases are all connected,

and he can arrest the culprit
at the second incident,

it might stop the mitani
case from happening.

Sergeant oyama sounded well.

Good.

However,

I couldn't tell him that
he's been missing since 2010.

I'll continue looking into it.

We can tell him
when we know what really happened.

You're right.

Nakamura... nakayama... nakata...

Hey you! What are you doing?

Stop! Get away from the car! Police!

Stop!

Let go!

Are you gonna sit there all day?

They're examining that syringe you had,

we'll know everything
once we get the results.

Because they ignored me.

Ignored you?

What do you mean by ignored?

Come here.

Public security is here.

Public security? Why?

Hey, what are you doing?

Oyama!

Let go! Hold on,
what do you think you're doing?

Hold on...

Oyama, stop!

He's all yours.

You know who they are!

"Parliamentary vice-minister of
defense attends asean summit."

It's changed.

Saegusa.

- Take a look.
- Come with me.

Look at this.

The mitani case still happened.

So the culprit wasn't the same?

I don't know. There's more.

If the attack was prevented,
a record of it should exist.

But I can't find anything.

Thanks for coming. No ID on him.

Hold on! What do you
mean it was an accident?

A large amount of alcohol
was detected from the remains.

He fell into the river drunk.
That's the conclusion.

You saw that tattoo on his arm!

He's the guy public security took away!

So what?

It wasn't a criminal
case so they let him go.

A few days later he dies accidentally.
Not strange at all.

It is strange!

This is unacceptable.

I'm going to public security.

Give me a break, oyama!

We're dealing with public security.

Keep this up and you'll cause
us all trouble. Please just drop it.

But this is my job!

You lot go out and gather info!

Yes, sir.

Not you! Stay put.

Mr. Ito.

You used to work at public security, right?

What do you want?

You quit your job soon
after kato's accident, didn't you?

So I thought you might know something.

I have nothing to say to you.

You were also in charge of
the nishi-shinjuku terrorist case.

The one where heron was used.

Please.

Will you promise you'll
never bother me again after this call?

Of course.

"Nishi-shinjuku terrorist incident"

Lieutenant saegusa,

it's oyama.

Sergeant oyama, it's saegusa.

Lieutenant saegusa,

public security is rotten.

What happened?

They took away the suspect I arrested
and released him.

So you did arrest him.

But he was later found dead.

His name was shuhei tachibana. He was
a remaining member of the terrorist group.

Lieutenant, but just now...

A former public security detective
told me something incredible.

What I'm about to say is all hypothetical.

What if...

Right before kato's accident happened,
public security had received a letter

from a remaining terrorist member
threatening to strike again?

It demanded...

The release of amamiya and the other
terrorists involved in the 2001 incident

or else they'll use heron
again in another attack.

But public security concluded that
it was merely a prank and ignored it.

Because they ignored me.

Are you saying kato's accident
was a terrorist attack?

I told you, this is hypothetical.

Right.

Let's say...

Let's say a suspect was caught,

and public security let him go.

But then,

he was found dead.

That man was probably
inconvenient for the public security bureau

so he was eliminated.

Eliminated?

By public security?

Who in the bureau could do such a thing?

Commissioner yamazaki.

Commissioner yamazaki?

The current chief of public security.

A gag order was later
issued within the bureau.

What's more, the government also knew.

The government knew about it?

Sergeant oyama,

yamazaki and mitani were in charge
of the nishi-shinjuku incident.

They declared the case closed, so
the truth would destroy their reputations.

Maybe this all happened
for their self-protection.

If that's true, I can't forgive them.

Civilians were involved and killed!

There must be something behind this
nishi-shinjuku terrorist case.

Please look into it.

Understood.

Senior commissioner yamazaki!

I'm saegusa, cold case unit.

Sorry to bother you. May we speak?

Do you have an appointment?

No, it's an urgent matter.

Make an appointment.

It's about the accident that killed
Mr. Kato back in 2009.

May I have a minute?

Only a minute. Come in.

Make it quick.

The car accident that killed Mr. Kato

was actually a terrorist attack
by a man using heron, correct?

We'd have arrested
him if that were the case.

Sergeant oyama of jonan precinct did.

I heard that this suspect
was later handed over

to your team, sir.

I wonder what happened to him after that?

Where did you hear this nonsense?

I know nothing about that officer
or the man he supposedly apprehended.

No sir,

it's not nonsense.

Is this detective oyama's testimony?

Then why not bring him here?

What,

you can't do it?

Then this conversation is over.

15 seconds too long.

Sorry to bother you.

Is he out of his mind?

The entire criminal investigation bureau
is in hot water, not just you!

- I know.
- No, you don't!

Make sure he understands!

I get how you feel, but it was rash.

Public security officially complained.

I'm sorry.

If what Mr. Oyama said is true,

then that means the culprits of the
2009 case and this one aren't the same.

So the mitani case could
have been carried out by...

Some terrorist group members from 2001
that are still at large?

"Ryuichi amamiya:
Notes of a condemned terrorist leader"

"Michiru koizumi"

"mikino shuppan publishing"

michiru koizumi, right?

Tmpd, cold case investigation.

I'll tell you right off the bat
that I don't really trust the police.

But I'm willing to answer questions
depending on what's in it for me.

Very well.

Saegusa.

So, which incident?

The nishi-shinjuku attack?

No, a car accident that
happened 12 years ago.

In 2009?

Heron might have been used in that case.

You know something.

Now it's your turn.

A long time ago,

amamiya told me something similar
right before he was executed.

But I couldn't find evidence,

so he probably made it up.

But you don't really believe that.

Right?

Amamiya said,

"there's actually a subordinate
who is still on the loose,"

"and he conducted a terrorist attack
to set us free"

"by using leftover heron."

In 2009.

Are there any other members at large?

He said that was the only one.

There are no more.

And...

And?

There's no more heron, either.

My heron is perfect.
No one can replicate it.

Many people wanted to know how,
but I never told anyone.

So you don't have to worry.

In the future,

heron will never be used again.

The only remaining batch
is the one the government seized.

The government still has some?

If what amamiya said is true.

Thank you, Ms. Koizumi.

My pleasure, I heard some good stuff.

Good-bye, then.

So you're ok with it?

I might publish this
if you don't make me promise not to.

It's rude not to trust someone

if I want them to trust me.

You're a strange cop.

After the nishi-shinjuku incident,
the government founded

a chemical weapons section
in the national research institute in 2010.

That's where the heron might be.

The research institute...

- "Rika anzai, associate professor" - and
if it is there, it would be tightly guarded.

- And if it is there, it would be tightly guarded.
- "Keimei university school of medicine"

so making off with it...

Would be impossible.

But...

What about an insider?

Kazuo yoshikawa, age 42.

In charge of chemical analysis.

His body was found
hanging in the woods in saitama.

Prefectural police declared it a suicide.
The date of death...

January 28th? 3 days after the mitani case!

Isn't that a bit too close?

We need to investigate yoshikawa.

Hand over all the
investigative reports from then.

There must be some we still don't have.

All right.

Did you order a guy named saegusa
in cold case to investigate something?

What are you talking about?

Oh, nothing.

Forget it.

Yoshikawa was a serious guy
and had a good reputation.

But he wasn't spotless.

A secret underage prostitution club
was exposed and his name was on the list.

His case was dismissed, but...

He could have been blackmailed.

And now we cut to the chase.

This outwardly "serious" guy

left work early for
no reason a month before he died.

Twice.

Do we know where he went?

Checked the plate recognition system.

He went to okamachi
parking area both times.

Was there for 30 minutes.

Let's check out that parking area.

What?

Saegusa?

Come in.

Excuse me.

So you're saegusa.

I heard you're investigating
the mitani case independently.

I'm sorry for not reporting to you sooner.

Don't worry about that.

More importantly,

tell me what you think about this case.

The research institute?

Yes.

A researcher named yoshikawa.

He died 3 days after the crash.
Hard to believe it's coincidental.

We think the truth about his death
will take us to Mr. Mitani's killer.

I see. It makes sense.

Also, chief aoki...

What?

Nothing.

It's still conjecture.

Saegusa.

Do you remember

your oath of service?

"I solemnly pledge"

"to carry out my police duties"

"obsessing over nothing,"

"fearing nothing,"

"hating nothing, following
only my conscience,"

"and with neutrality,
impartiality, and fairness."

Ibeheve

that this is what the
police should be like.

So if you think something is just,

then don't be reserved.

Isuspect

the culprit is a police insider.

I see. I'll keep that in mind.

Sorry, but I have a meeting now.

Excuse me, sir.

How many are there?

It'll take more than a day
or two to check all of them.

We'll check them all no
matter how long it takes.

Sergeant sakurai.

"I'll tell you the truth of the matter
that I couldn't share before."

"Meet me at harumi
warehouse no. 9 today at 7 P.M."

"- Yamazaki"

we can handle this. Go now.

Yes.

Chief yamazaki.

Chief!

Don't move!

Hands on your head.

Ok, ok!

I'll approach you slowly.

No, don't go! It's heron.

Found a syringe in his car!

Get him!

Hold on!

I'm saegusa from the tmpd.

Chief yamazaki told me to meet him here!

We'll hear you out later.

Saegusa, what's going on?

I don't know!
Some huge force is at work, it seems.

Just please get to the bottom
of yoshikawa's death.

I'm sure you'll find something.

Are you ok?

I'll manage. But I need
to ask you a favor...

What are you doing?

Stop!

Lieutenant saegusa, it's oyama.

Lieutenant saegusa, please respond.

Mr. Oyama...

Sergeant oyama,

it's sakurai.

Sakurai? Rookie?

It's been so long.

Yeah, it's been a while.
Catch a cold or something?

I heard you lead the cold case unit.

That's right. Hard to believe, right?

Are you managing ok?

Yes.

That means you're lieutenant
saegusa's boss. Oh, where is he?

Actually, he's in
serious trouble right now.

Serious trouble? Why
didn't you say that first?

Tell me what happened.

Public security's chief yamazaki
was murdered with heron.

Saegusa was framed as the killer
and is on the run.

The killer? What on earth happened?

There's something saegusa
wanted me to relay to you.

Look for someone who needed
mitani and yamazaki dead

in your era as well.

That's the person who framed saegusa.

The person who had to kill both, huh?

Understood.

And Mr. Oyama...

You be extra careful, too.

Hey, rookie!

Mr. Oyama...

Chief, look at this!

This is yoshikawa, right?

- He's handing something over!
- Is there another angle?

Cameras no. 21 and 34.

21 and 34!

They're verifying the contents.

It that heron?

Who is it?

In an update on the murder of the
public security bureau's chief yamazaki,

the tmpd have announced that

heron was detected in the victim's system.

Chief yamazaki of tmpd's public
security bureau was found dead last night

and a male suspect fled the scene.

Police have announced

that a syringe was found in the man's car.
Analysis of the content...

Sorry to cause you trouble.

I'll be fine. But you...

My colleagues are looking for evidence.

Once they find something...

I was in first grade in that photo.

I still remember clearly.

There was a Christmas event at
shinjuku central park.

It was really sunny, and a holiday,
so there were lots of people.

This was...

The last photo we took together.

30 minutes later,

the nishi-shinjuku
terrorist attack happened.

So many people who were there
became victims in that incident.

My family, also.

I begged my parents

to take me there.

And...

I was the only one who survived.

"If only I could change the past."

I thought so many times.

But that's impossible.

So I became a journalist.

At least I can try to find out why

such an attack happened.

That was something I could start doing now.

I also

lost my older brother in an incident.

In my case,

a certain cop found out
what really happened.

That's why...

I became a cop, to be like him.

So we had something in common.

Maybe that's why.

I felt like I could trust
you for some reason.

Me too.

Wait.

Use this smartphone.

Thanks.

Get him!

"Michiru koizumi"

Sorry.

Get in!

It's my fault.

It's my fault michiru was...

Yoshikawa met with this person
at okamachi parking area.

Sakurai, it's me.

Hey, rookie.

Sergeant oyama, it's saegusa.

Lieutenant saegusa! Are you ok?

I'm ok.

Sergeant sakurai is with me.

That's good. Glad to hear it.

Oh, about what sakurai
asked me to look into.

I found out a lot.

I kept my eye on yamazaki after that.
And lo and behold...

Someone unbelievable showed up.

Chief cabinet secretary ltagaki?

All three handled the 2001 attack.
They must have stayed in contact.

By the way,
wasn't there an officer who lost family

in that accident?

Aoki of criminal investigation.

He joined the same year as you, right?

Yes.

I hear he lost his wife,
and his daughter is comatosed.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Then we really mustn't let him find out
about that matter.

The girl I saved after kato's car crash

was Mr. Aoki's daughter.

This watch...

Chief aoki has the same one.

That can't be...

Sergeant oyama.

Everything is connected now.

The one who used
heron to kill mitani and yamazaki

was chief aoki.

Chief aoki

probably believed that
it was an accident at first.

But when he learned
that it actually wasn't,

he directed his anger towards
mitani and yamazaki who covered it up.

Those men...

Put their own power and
safety above the lives of others.

Ihonesfly“.

Can't help but sympathize with Mr. Aoki.

Sergeant oyama,
chief aoki probably isn't done yet.

Chief cabinet secretary ltagaki is left.

I'll handle it.

I'll try to talk Mr. Aoki out of it.

Hold on, how do you plan on
talking him out of it?

Well...

Will you tell him the whole truth?

If he learns the truth, he might just act
faster and cause even more deaths.

But...

Sergeant oyama?

But even so,
I can't just sit around doing nothing!

I just can't!

No, Mr. Oyama!

Lieutenant...

Mr. Oyama!

Damn it!

Sakurai here.

Chief aoki has disappeared.
His subordinates can't get a hold of him.

Saegusa, chief aoki is going to strike.

He could have already killed ltagaki
if he wanted to.

There must be a reason he hasn't yet.

It must be this!

- "Party presidential election candidacy kickoff
rally" - the media will gather at this event tomorrow.

Aoki is going to kill ltagaki there
and reveal their crimes.

That must be his intent.

Good morning.

I'm sakurai, tmpd cold case unit.

Cold case unit?

While reinvestigating
a past terrorist incident,

we've reached the conclusion that you
might be their next target.

We request that you cancel your rally.

We haven't received any such info.

Excuse me.

It was no coincidence that
mitani and yamazaki were killed.

Considering your relationship with them,
you get why you'd be next, don't you?

I have no idea why.

Are you done now? I have a party to attend.

Then will you at least allow us
to join your security team?

Be my guest.

Thank you.

"Higashi kanto hospital"

Excuse me.

Are you the man who saved my daughter?

Mr. Ltagaki, it's been so long!

Congratulations, sir.

Nothing unusual in the ballroom.
Tight security.

"Shinjiro ltagaki - party
presidential election candidacy rally"

the entrance seems fine, too.

Not even an ant could slip in.

The lobby is fine, too.

The service entrance is...

Notice something, Mr. Kojima?

Some construction workers
have overstayed 3 hours.

3 of them in the basement
floor storage room.

I'm on my way there.

Yamada, you go too. I can handle this room.

Ok.

Mr. Ltagaki will now give us a few words

about his vision as a candidate
in the party presidential election.

Please give him a big round of applause.

Thank you all for taking time out
from your busy schedules to come today.

I appreciate your holding
such a fine gathering

to Mark my candidacy as the next
leader of our party.

Mr. Yamada.

The storage room is that way.

I intend to become the next prime minister!

Elevator's not working!

Ms. Sakurai, elevator's down.
Any changes over there?

It's to protect.

Protect the lives, the assets,
and the health of our citizens.

People's working conditions. Lifestyles.

The future of our children.
The golden years of the elderly.

Protecting all of these is my mission...

All the doors are locked.

What's going on?

The control room is in the back.

That's it.

- Follow me.
- Thanks.

This way.

Police! You're safe now.

Are you ok?

I'll cut this.

Three men came in...

When was this?

About an hour ago.
They worked on the system for a while

they left five minutes ago.

Can you unlock the doors
of the ballroom on the 27th floor?

- Right away.
- Thanks.

What's that?

The piping diagram of the sprinklers.
To extinguish fires quickly,

the pipes are usually
filled with water, but...

The water's gone and
the upper floor pipes are empty?

What's their aim?
To cause a fire or something?

What's that?

The sub tank.

It takes longer to draw water from the
basement tank for the upper floors,

so there's another tank in between.

The sub tank...

Sprinklers...

Ms. Sakurai, can you hear me?
I know what they're up to.

They're going to toss heron into
the sub tank and shower the ballroom.

Everyone in this room is at risk?

My plan is all set to go!

I can't. Program's been overridden.

- What the hell?
- May I?

16-digit encryption key? This would take
even our cyber unit an hour to decipher.

The sub tank's accessible
from the 20th floor?

Yes, it is.

I'll head to the 20th floor.

They're probably getting the heron ready.

You two stay and
restore the system, please.

Understood.

I promise you that I'll do my best to
help Japan develop and flourish

as a strong and pivotal nation
that leads Asia, nay, the world,

even more so than we have in the past.

That is my message as presidential
candidate. Thank you for your attention.

Shinjiro ltagaki will work to protect

our present and future,
and to revitalize Japan.

We ask for your cooperation and
support in the upcoming election.

Too bad.

Son of a...!

I'll do the rest.

Is it true?

Terrorists?

Please calm down and listen.

I asked you if terrorists
are really trying to kill me!

I'm sakurai, tmpd cold
case investigation unit.

Everyone please calm down and listen.

What Mr. Ltagaki said is true.

This ballroom is currently
under attack by terrorists.

But our officers are doing
everything they can to stop them.

The hotel's systems
should be restored shortly.

So please, please don't
panic and wait calmly!

What you said better be true.

I demand that you keep me informed!

Situation under control.

Situation under control!

Good work.

I'll wrap things up here.

Hold on... look!

Oh no, the water is flowing.

Remote control!

Someone is opening
the valve from the outside!

What's going on?

Damn, I can't stop it!

No doubt about it.

The hacker's ip address
is inside this hotel.

The remote control must be in the building.

It's aoki. He must be
somewhere in the hotel.

It stopped?

Mr. Aoki?

Attention please.

Right now I hold your lives in my hands.

Look at the ceiling.

When I press this switch,

heron will shower down on you
from the sprinklers above.

Which room is this?

All because of
chief cabinet secretary itagaki's actions.

He declared a terrorist incident as
resolved when it really wasn't,

and lied that the heron had been destroyed.

As a result,

innocent lives were lost.

Impossible! This is ridiculous.

The fact that I now have the heron
that shouldn't exist is the ultimate proof.

This hotel has a wedding hall, right?

Sure, these places usually do.

What about a chapel?

On the 25th floor!

It's a pipe organ. He's in the chapel!

I'm on my way.

Even worse,

the police force that should be
protecting citizens

has become an organization that
curries favor with rotten politicians.

Sol...

Have decided to punish
them by my own hands.

I'm almost at the chapel.

Mr. Kojima, I need a favor.

What?

So now, everyone,

prepare to die together with him.

Can't you people at least save me?

Sir, you can't be serious.

Dead serious.

Who will protect this country if I die?

You used the police and government
for nefarious purposes!

Mitani was the one who suggested the
coverup and yamazaki did the dirty work.

He was the one who killed that
terrorist tachibana and a cop named oyama.

I've done nothing wrong.

How dare you!

Chief aoki,

it's over.

Saegusa, was it?

Sorry for framing you
as yamazaki's killer.

So you really were the one
who killed mitani.

That's right.

Killing me won't change anything.

Neither will killing ltagaki.
Even if you do that,

another "ltagaki" will just emerge again.

That's how organizations work.

Don't bother lecturing me. I know.

That's why

I won't kill him by ordinary means.

Yamazaki and I joined the same year.
He was a competent man.

Hand that over.

What you're doing is wrong.

You understand nothing.

I understand clearly.

I know that a terrorist
attack killed your family.

Yamazaki, why did you lie?

Why?

Did they order you to?

Say something, yamazaki!

You're aoki, right?

It's a shame about your family,
but you need to understand.

This was for the good of the nation.

If announcing the truth

and needlessly scaring
the public is justice,

then anyone could do it.

Sometimes it's better not to know.

We're the ones making those decisions.

You have no right to criticize us.

Get out.

7:27 A.M. I'm sorry for your loss.

Saegusa.

This is the only way to change
the police at this point.

Today's incident will be imprinted

upon everyone's memories for years to come.

This will be the police's
biggest failure yet,

and at the same time,

it will serve as a warning that it must
never collude with the government again.

If that's accomplished,

then my wife and
daughter's deaths won't be for nothing.

Please get a hold of yourself,

chief aoki.

The future will change if
you don't give up. Ibeheveifl

a long time ago

someone told me the same thing.

Did you meet him?

Sergeant oyama.

Oyama?

The man who saved your daughter.

Sergeant oyama.

Excuse me.

Are you the man who saved my daughter?

"Get well soon! You can change
the future if you don't give up!"

I wanted to thank him.

Until my daughter died,

those words helped me so much.

Don't give up.

Chief aoki.

It's not too late.

Please.

Give me the switch.

Can't let my family's death

be for nothing.

Why?

Sergeant sakurai?

We're all ok.

Understood.

Itagaki is alive.

We opened the valve
on the 26th floor right below them.

Mr. Kojima, I need a favor.

What?

Everyone else listen up, too.

Aoki has control over

the sub tank and the
valve on the 27th floor.

Since we can't control that,
open the valve on the 26th floor

and change the water's route.

Ok, I'll try.

Give me the switch.

Almost there...

Can't let my family's death

be for nothing.

Yes!

We made it on time...

You all can relax now.

We've captured the culprit.

You're under arrest for attempted murder.

Suspect coming through!

Mr. Ltagaki.

Don't think it's over for you.

Saegusa.

I know. This is our job.

But I refuse to accept it.

You did well.

But this case isn't over yet.

The future could change
for Mr. Oyama and us all.

If you don't give up,

the future will change.

Lieutenant saegusa,

it's oyama.

Lieutenant saegusa.

Sergeant oyama,

it's saegusa.

Aoki tried to use a terrorist attack
to murder ltagaki.

But...

We managed to prevent it.

I see.

What about Mr. Aoki?

We arrested him.

But...

The message you left
had resonated with him.

Lieutenant saegusa.

No matter who you may be,

do something bad and you'll be punished.

It's so simple.

When will we ever see the kind of society

where that's a given?

I don't know.

Still...

We have to keep going.

Of course.

I'll never give up.

I'll do what I can in this era.

And one more thing.

I must tell you something important.

It's..

About your future.

On April 1st,

2010,

the day I become a policeman,

Yamazaki of public security

Will murder you.

"April 1, 2010"

congratulations.

Thank you.

Chief, here's suzuki's
interrogation report.

I'll post it now.

Talk to you later.

My memory has changed.

Sergeant oyama is alive!

"Commissioner yamazaki arrested for
attempted murder of police sergeant"

"chief cabinet secretary ltagaki
resigns over alleged police collusion"

"chief of police aoki holds
inaugural press conference"

"I want to be interviewed
by such a beauty, too."

- "Michiru koizumi - first woman to
receive award" - your work was inspiring.

Tell us about your plans for the future.

The hardest thing for
the family of victims is that

they can't turn back the time.

But by learning the truth about
what actually happened,

the time they can't turn back can be
filled in just a little bit.

That's my belief. I plan to keep working
as a journalist with that in mind.

Hey, saegusa.

- Good morning.
- We were discussing our next case.

What do you think? I think we
should reopen this disappearance case.

Good morning.

Yamada, I'm taking saegusa to ask around
about a curious case.

Come on, saegusa.

What curious case?
Now I'm curious about that!

Ms. Sakurai, Mr. Oyama
is alive. My memory...

I've verified it.
He's at shimogawara precinct.

It all began with
a walkie-talkie with no batteries.

The device that shouldn't work

connected me to the past.

My partner on the other end

taught me that as long
as you never give up,

a bright future awaits you.

Today, I finally get to meet

my partner in person.

Changing the past

doesn't guarantee a bright future.

Sergeant oyama!

But my partner chose
to change it without ever giving up.

He believed that a bright future
lay beyond his actions.

So I'll never give up, either.

If you don't give up,
the future will change.

If you don't give up, there's always hope.
