Original subtitles

This is number 29.

This is his first time inside, so teach him how to behave.

You learned manners at school, right?

Nice to meet you.

He says, "Nice to meet you."

Nice to meet you too.

By the way, what did you do to get thrown in here?

A fight.

A drunk office worker got rude with me.

And you?

Speeding.

You're in here for that?

Apparently, I punched the officer that wrote the ticket.

They're calling it obstruction of duty.

I just happened to bump into him. I didn't punch him.

It's a trumped-up charge?

I have priors, so they think

if they shake me down, they'll find something. It happens a lot.

I'll be released soon.

What do you do?

I'm unemployed.

Not your whole life, right?

I was in the Self-Defense Forces until a while back.

I thought you looked fit.

Why did you quit?

I guess it's complicated.

I see.

Where are you from?

Naoetsu in Niigata.

I'm from Naoetsu too.

Really?

Which junior high?

West Naoetsu.

Me too.

Do you remember the candy shop near the school

that the senile old man and woman ran?

Kadoya.

That's the one!

I see. So, you're my junior.

Where was your house?

Shut up, would you?

Have your class reunion after you get out.

Don't do it.

Are you having a fight?

I'll send you to solitary!

It's nothing.

You'd better be careful.

CRISIS - SPECIAL SECURITY SQUAD

This is his first undercover operation.

The deal goes down tonight. You're coming with us. Got it?

You used my squad as a decoy.

I don't have any confidence that I can love my husband now.

If I defy the people in power,

would you kill me?

- Hi. - Hello.

Thank you for your help inside.

How long did you spend inside?

The other guy settled out of court, so I was out in 11 days.

That sounds about right.

Want one?

Thank you.

Here you are.

Hot coffee.

Certainly.

So, what did you want to talk about?

The settlement emptied my wallet.

Can you get me some work?

You know what kind of work it is, right?

Yes.

It doesn't matter what the job is,

there's one thing you must do

if you're going to succeed in this life.

What do you think that is?

Sacrifice everything.

Can you do that?

Yes.

All right. I'll get you a job.

Thank you very much.

However, you have to gain approval from my boss.

Well, think of it as a job interview.

Are you free tonight?

Yes.

Then...

use this to get you some presentable clothes.

First impressions are important.

Thank you.

How did it go?

I'm going to their office tonight.

I'm getting clothes for that now.

Which one is best?

Get this one.

Is he looking well?

His color is better than usual.

Probably because he's living a more regular life.

He must be eating three square meals a day now.

And he isn't drinking.

How did it go?

It appears to be going well so far.

He has an interview at their office tonight.

- And the USB? - I gave it to him.

Are you ready?

I'm ready for it at any time.

Just put that into their computer

and it will automatically send all the data here.

This is his first undercover operation.

I hope it all goes well from here on out.

Raise your arms.

It'll be over fast. Do what he says.

Have them if you like.

I'd like to use the restroom.

It's over there.

He forgot to check there.

Just to be sure.

Excuse me.

Nice to meet you.

My name is Nakazawa.

So, you're from the same town as Sawada?

Yes.

You were also in the SDF. What unit?

First Airborne Brigade.

Part of the elite, I see.

Why did you quit?

Did you get kicked out for bad behavior?

No.

Then why?

I...

didn't know why I was fighting anymore.

You can't perform an assignment if you're riddled with doubt.

It will cause trouble for your comrades.

That's why I quit.

Do you have a mobile phone?

No, I don't have one.

That's rare nowadays.

I couldn't pay the bills.

Use that.

Just for contacting us.

Let's go. Goodbye, sir.

What do you think?

We can use him.

However, I'm bothered that he's from the same town as Sawada.

Hopefully, it's just a coincidence.

Is it good?

Yes.

This is the first time in a while

I've eaten properly.

Do you want to eat good like this every day?

Yes.

For guys like you and me to live an extravagant life,

we have to hit the jackpot.

A long time ago,

I lived in a Christian foster care facility.

They read the Bible to us. There's this one verse in it.

"For everyone who has will be given more,

and he will have an abundance."

If we want to be the ones who have, then us guys who have nothing

have to use force to grab it.

My gang plans on grabbing even more

and climbing their way up the ladder.

Climb it with us.

Okay.

Eat up.

Thanks.

Thank you for the meal.

See you later.

Where to, sir?

You're a natural at this.

I'll just drive you around.

There was a thorough check, so I had to ditch the USB.

Their security is tight,

so it's not a place that can be sneaked into.

Did they have a computer?

There's one in the president's office.

If you need to have the data on the computer,

I think it would be faster

to take out everyone in the building and steal it.

Got it. I'll see what HQ wants to do.

Is something wrong?

To put it simply, this assignment

is to crush the gang that's extorting politicians.

That's right.

Jinai Industries, which you're infiltrating,

set up front companies with the intent of extorting politicians.

They made donations to several different political parties

and are now extorting a bunch of politicians

by threatening to divulge to the press where the money came from.

Our squad was enlisted to gather evidence against them.

I understand the logic.

But...

something bugs me about it.

What's bugging you?

Tell me.

It's hard to put it into words.

The guys in Jinai Industries

don't seem cunning enough

to use political donations as a way of extorting politicians.

It's your first day undercover, so, isn't it

too early to make a judgment?

I'll admit that's true, but...

I understand your feelings.

We'll independently check into what's behind this assignment.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

I'm sorry for being late.

So, how is the assignment going?

TORU KAMIYA CHIEF CABINET SECRETARY

Just water is fine.

So?

It's proceeding smoothly,

but it will take a little while longer to gather evidence.

I see.

Please keep it up.

Yes, sir.

Everyone appreciates what you're doing.

That's a very useful group you've put together.

Special Security Squad, is it?

They're highly regarded in the Nagatacho area.

No doubt about it,

you'll be getting a promotion.

Anyway, I'm sure I'll be asking more of you from now on.

- I look forward to your help. - Yes, sir.

Ah, yes.

I almost forgot something very important.

If there are any developments in the future,

report it to this number here.

No matter how trivial it is, make sure you report it.

Also, until this matter is resolved, leave all the decisions up to me.

What do you mean by that?

We haven't been able to handle the press and other things well.

If there's any movement on this,

before we're prepared, there will be trouble.

Got it?

- Yes, sir. - Good.

You don't have to see me out.

Just to be sure, we dug into your background.

You graduated from the same junior high as Sawada,

but your name isn't on the list of graduates.

Why not?

Of course it's not there.

In my second year there,

my father had to leave town because of trouble he got into.

After that?

We moved to Narashino, in Chiba.

After I graduated from junior high,

I entered the local high school.

I soon dropped out and joined the SDF.

What about your mom and dad?

Mom died of cancer five years ago.

Dad runs a demolition business in Chiba.

I haven't seen him for ten years.

What's the company name?

Nakazawa Industries.

CHIBA DEMOLITION NAKAZAWA INDUSTRIES

SEARCH RESULTS NAKAZAWA INDUSTRIES

NAKAZAWA INDUSTRIES

Hello? Nakazawa Industries.

This is Mr. Yamagishi from Taiyo Financing.

Can I speak to the president?

Yes. That's me.

I'm calling regarding financing for your son, Takashi.

There are a few things I'd like to ask you about Takashi.

I'm not in contact with my son.

I don't even know where he lives.

So, there's no real point in asking me.

I see.

Sorry about that. Goodbye.

Sorry I doubted you.

You can go.

Thank you. Goodbye.

Don't let that upset you.

He's being cautious because they have a big deal going down soon.

He hired you for that purpose.

Okay.

Thanks to the website that Oyama made

and Hancho's great acting,

I'm a trusted member now.

Any new information?

There's a big deal going down soon.

It's a chance to arrest them on other charges.

Do you know what kind of deal it is?

I haven't been told yet.

I'll let you know when I find out.

The rest of us are looking into what's behind this assignment.

We're checking out the truth of the extortion claims,

but it's delicate work, so it's rough going.

Got it.

You've done this before, right?

Undercover work.

Several times, a long time ago.

Did you ever feel confused

about what was happening?

Once, for a long-term undercover assignment,

I almost lost my mind.

No matter how evil the other people were,

I'd feel guilty about deceiving them.

To get rid of that feeling,

I immersed myself in the role and made myself like them.

But then,

I felt guilty about betraying them.

When you live like that for a long time,

you gradually become numb

and start to believe that you could live

either your real life or that false life.

When that happens,

what do you think you need to keep your sanity?

A sense of mission?

You need something important in your real life

that makes you want to return to it.

When you're surrounded in a thick mist,

you need to find a light to guide you out.

What was your light, Tamaru?

I've forgotten.

I wonder if Mr. Inami will come today.

I'm not sure.

He suddenly stopped coming recently.

You want me to call him later?

No, it's all right.

Don't you know his number?

No, I know it.

I've texted him a few times,

but he hasn't written back.

By the way, aren't you two a couple?

No, we're not a couple.

So, you haven't dated either?

No.

We only meet here sometimes.

I see.

I guess he likes you, Ms. Matsunaga.

Maybe so.

I think he does.

Here you go.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Here is this month's.

I got a phone call from my husband.

He said he was positive they wouldn't know he was calling.

I think it's all right.

What did he want?

He said he wants out.

He said he can't take any more.

Can something be done for him?

There's nothing that I can do.

I will relay this to the people in charge of him.

Thank you.

When my husband returns,

what should I do?

I don't have any confidence that I can love my husband now.

These two years

living this false life without my husband,

it's now become my real life.

You need to be stronger.

To your husband, you're the only light in his life.

If he loses you,

he'll give into despair and may not regain hope.

To you, Mr. Tamaru,

I am nothing more than a tool

to keep you connected with my husband.

That's not true.

At any rate, we have to overcome this situation together.

All right?

Okay.

The deal goes down tonight.

You're coming with us. Got it?

What kind of deal?

Drugs.

What? Are you scared?

No.

Don't worry.

We've never had trouble doing a deal.

There are no gunfights like in the movies.

I'll do my best.

Good.

When the deal is over, I'll treat you to dinner again.

Okay.

There's a drug deal going down tonight.

I don't know the time or place.

Are you accompanying them?

Yes.

It's the first deal with these people,

so the president and his number-two are coming.

I'm the president's shield.

- Be careful. - Okay.

SHIBAURA 3-CHOME

Yes?

Okay. Understood.

We won't be arresting anyone tonight.

But it's the perfect chance.

Haven't they made up their minds yet?

Are they concerned that it's a trap?

I doubt our superiors are that worried about Inami.

At any rate, we'll follow him to give him backup.

If there's any trouble,

we're the only ones who can protect him.

It'll be over before you know it.

There won't even be time to get nervous.

Okay.

RAINBOW BRIDGE SHUTO EXPRESSWAY ROUTE 11

What jerks!

Forget them. Back up and go around.

Cut the engine and step outside!

- Get out! - Make it fast!

What did we do that you need to use handcuffs?

Is something wrong?

No, nothing.

We're almost there.

Sawada!

I just wanted to...

eat good food.

This restaurant is famous for this.

Where is this sea bream from?

- This is from Minami-Ise. - Minami-Ise?

Wow! Look at that!

- That looks delicious. - It sure does look good.

We've prepared this for you today, Chief Cabinet Secretary.

Thank you. Let's enjoy it together.

What's this all of a sudden?

There are some things I'd like to report to you.

Is this about that assignment?

Wasn't everything effectively resolved yesterday?

You used my squad as a decoy.

Please tell me why

you went as far as

using another gang's trigger men to wipe out Jinai Industries?

What I'm about to tell you is entirely fiction.

However,

since it may be of some help, I'll tell it to you.

A certain major company was hoping to build strong connections

with a certain group of powerful politicians.

Naturally, it was in order to knock out their rivals,

expand their business, and grow without limit.

To do so, they needed a giant slush fund,

so the major company started a side business.

They smuggled drugs.

The major company purchased drugs overseas

and hid them in cargo that was sent to Japan.

Thanks to the credibility of that major company and liberal bribes,

the cargo shipments were not properly inspected.

Although they had successfully smuggled them in,

there was no way that they could sell them in Japan.

That's when Jinai Industries was selected as the distributor.

Now, now. This is entirely fiction.

Please call them Company X.

At any rate,

they successfully dealt the drugs domestically

and created an enormous slush fund.

Jinai Industries figured that out

and used that to blackmail you.

That's why

you decided to eliminate them.

You used my squad to collect information

and make it look like they were wiped out

in a fight over a drug deal

and keep you from being linked to it.

The premise is all wrong.

Actually, Company X didn't blackmail us.

However,

they wanted more money

and tried to do drug deals

with people other than the major company.

To the major company and others involved,

it was the same as blackmail.

If they were arrested for a different deal,

there was the danger of them revealing the whole scheme.

Do you know what the moral of this story is?

If you get greedy but don't have power,

you'll get into trouble.

Nice story, isn't it?

Now then, I look forward to cooperating with you more.

My squad member...

was in a gunfight...

and was almost killed.

How will you pay for what he went through?

Don't talk like you're a gangster.

Let's just say I owe you a favor.

If you're ever in trouble,

consult with me.

Is the guy who just left behind all this?

How have you been lately?

Do you still have dreams about the past?

Help me! Don't kill me!

No.

I don't have them anymore.

I see.

Then, you should be able to carry out your assignments

without any misgivings.

You haven't answered my earlier question.

What would you do if I told you?

Would you get revenge for those dead gangsters?

Don't get any ideas.

Those dead guys were no angels.

They were criminals who were trying to sell drugs in Japan.

Then it's all right to kill them?

If someone gets in the way of the people with power,

is it all right to make up some reason to kill them?

People were killed because of the information I provided.

I...

supported a filthy system.

If you want to change this filthy system,

don't let a sense of righteousness restrict you from acting freely.

Accept all that is good and bad so you can act flexibly.

Then, with the strength you've stored up,

you can fight against the real enemy someday.

That's nonsense.

Maybe it is.

But it's impossible to change everything at once.

Find a goal

and fight for it,

even if it hurts you.

What will you do?

Will you stick with me?

Let me think about it.

If...

I defy the people in power,

would you kill me?

It's me.

Put our plan into action right away.

Don't forget the press releases for the media.

I'll take full responsibility. Don't worry.

I'm reporting from Chief Cabinet Secretary Kamiya's home.

The sudden charges of soliciting sex with a minor

have caused an uproar.

The police are currently inside the house

and are preparing to take him into custody.

They've just come out. Chief Cabinet Secretary Kamiya!

TORU KAMIYA, AGE 50

ARRESTED FOR SUSPICION OF VIOLATION OF THE CHILD PROSTITUTION LAW

We have work. It's a new assignment.

Eleven years ago, a terrorist bomb was set off in a subway train car.

There was only one road I could take.

It was to commit a terrorist act!

It was not right to take the lives of innocent people.

If a real terrorist attack occurs,

people's daily lives will be completely ruined.

I'll back those guys up.

Should we set a trap?

That's a great idea.

We'll turn it into a diamond this week.

It's times like this when we're needed.

Let's just capture them.

You must know something.
