I'm so sorry.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Good morning, An.

Good morning.

You see,
I'm already having a hectic morning.

I'm leaving it here.

Garbage rules
in Japan are so annoying.

Each country
has its own rules.

As they say, when in Rome,
do as the Romans do.

Ni hao.

Good morning.
Wait a minute. Hold on.

Hand me that bag.

The bag? Give me a sec.

Eat this for lunch.
I'm sure you'll love it.

Really? I'm so happy.

Xie xie, Auntie Ma.

Come on now.

Could you please
at least tell me your name?

You didn't pay your taxi fare
and had illegal drugs.

Where did you get
all that liquid marijuana

you had in your bag?

What did she say?

"That bag is not mine."

Are you talking about the small bag
with liquid marijuana in it?

Then, why would your urine test
come back positive?

Maybe you were planning
to sell them off.

I'm so sorry.

Have a great time at school.

We will.

Why wouldn't she confess
when there's evidence?

I bet she's underestimating
the Japanese police force.

Come on now. Let's go back.

Stop repeating "do that"!
Shut up and don't mess with us.

You had to come in
so early in the morning.

Having to interpret every word
those scumbags say

must be stressful for you.

I'm fine
because I don't involve my emotions.

-Hey, Shakuno.
-Yes, sir?

Where the heck is Koda?

How should I know?

We've got
so many questioning sessions lined up.

Where's the Lettuce Head?

Lettuce Head?

Please stop right here.

Come over here. Come this way.
It's all right.

Foreigner's Residence Card.

Come on, show it to us.
Don't you have it?

Can I look inside your bag?

You don't have it, do you?

-I'm sorry.
-Come with us.

I'm so sorry.

Are you Vietnamese?

Do you understand Japanese?

TOKYO SALAD BOWL

EPISODE ONE: "A SCORPION
AND CHINESE BOILED DUMPLINGS"

Hello?

Arikino, there was a brawl
among foreigners in Shinjuku area.

Can you head over there this evening?

Yes, ma'am.

Whoa, this is a serious scorpion.

Here I go.

Hello? Hello?

Where are you? I'm worried about you.
Call me.

What should I do?

Friend... Friend... Friend...

All right then. I'm calling for help.

What the...?

I don't have my phone.

Where is it?

Excuse me, sir.

Can I use your cellphone for a moment?

Actually, I'm using it for work...

Just for a moment.
Can you hold on to this?

Miss!

I didn't say you could use it.

Oh? Are you from China?

No, I'm not.

Then how do you explain this?

That's for my work.

Why don't you take her
to the police station?

You heard our conversation?

I see.

This must be fate.
Could you please help me?

You can have it if you want.

No, thanks.

Go ahead, help yourself.

"My name is Shen Yinuo.
I'm 24 years old."

Shen.

"I came to Japan because I want to
go to graduate school here."

"But I can't speak Japanese well, yet."

You can speak
in your native language.

This man here will interpret for you.

Um... I need to get back to work...

Take a look at this.

What did she say?

"This is my friend Candy."

"She has gone missing."

Can you tell me more about it?

I met Candy online
about a month ago.

At that time,
I had just come from Shanghai

and was feeling homesick.

She made her first visit
to Japan last week from Jilin Province.

Tokyo is so lively and fun,
and we visited many places.

"Since I had to go to school yesterday,"

"she went to buy her favorite
anime merchandise on her own."

"And she hasn't come back since."

So, there's been no reply

for 20 hours since last evening...

Here is my business card.

MARI KODA
TOKYO METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT

Are you really a detective?

Actually, many people ask me that.

They wonder if I'm really a detective.

Thanks.

Mr. Arikino.

Oh my goodness! You're one of us?

I've only been with this division
for about a month now.

That Lettuce Head...

Lettuce Head...

Well, well, well...
How should we go about finding Candy?

Did you just sneer
like some cartoon characters do?

No, I didn't.

Are you really going to look for her?

Why do you ask?

It's not uncommon for some foreigners
to go missing in Japan.

Some come here on a tourist visa
and stay even after it expires,

while others come
with the intention of disappearing.

Besides, you don't know
if she's being truthful.

Isn't it too soon to say she's missing

after just a day out of contact?

You're more like a detective
than an interpreter.

Okay then. I have to get going.

Thank you.

I just can't stand by
when she needs help.

These are for today's questioning.
Review them beforehand.

Yes, sir.

Why do I have to take care
of Koda's share of the work?

Sir, could you please
straighten her out for once?

I don't have time
to keep covering for her.

Actually, I've been telling her.

Again! More assault
and prostitution cases coming our way.

Are you sure we can afford to have
a detective like her on our team?

He's right. She spends all her time
going after trivial cases like crumbs.

But the safety guide brochure
for foreign residents she recently made

has a very good reputation, you know.

We just assign right tasks for her,
I guess.

Yoo-hoo! It's Koda
from the East Shinjuku Precinct.

Thanks for help earlier.

Arikeeno, how about having dinner
together? My treat.

"Arikeeno?"

I reserved a table for two at six
at an amazing Chinese restaurant.

Hi, Arikeeno! Over here.

Arikeeno...

Is beer okay for you?

Sure.

I'm having a soft drink.

That's a great color.

Thanks.

It gives me energy.

That's a score!

Well then, cheers!

Are you a regular here?

Nope, second time.

The staff here hardly speak
any Japanese,

so I'm counting on your help.
Okay, Arikeeno?

Um...

Why do you call me Arikeeno?

Do you like it?

Deep-fried frogs, pig brain stir-fry,

braised ox penis in curry sauce,
and duck blood.

I'm going to devour them all.

I'll have the boiled Chinese dumplings.

These are delicious, so you know.

By the way, Arikeeno.
I got something.

I wanted to trace Candy's activities
from yesterday.

I went to the anime shop in Yoyogi
she visited

and accessed
their security camera footage.

She went in around 4:30 p.m.

Look at what happens next.

You can tell from this
that they're talking to each other.

That means he's either Chinese

or can speak Chinese.

I also found out

that they left the shop
and took a taxi together after this.

Do you remember seeing these two?

Oh, yes.
I definitely remember them.

I drove them to Kabuki-cho.

They were both carrying big anime bags.

That's all I know so far
about her movements.

There are two possibilities.

The first possibility.

Candy met the man of her destiny
in a foreign land

and they're still together somewhere,
making out, unwilling to part.

That's the "Romantic Rendezvous Theory."

And the second possibility.

The man turns out to be a criminal
preying on his fellow countrymen,

and Candy got caught up in some trouble.

The "Critical Situation Theory."

I hope this case
follows the Rendezvous Theory.

Now I want to hear your theory.

Candy went missing by her own choice.

She herself is the criminal.

What do you mean?

She entered the country
with a fake passport to work illegally,

all while disguising herself
as a tourist.

Isn't that a bit of a stretch?

I'm talking about a possibility.

If Candy got caught up in trouble,

why doesn't she ask her friend Shen
or the police for help?

Maybe she's being held against her will
by that smoother,

or maybe she's injured and can't move.

Then, it's possible she's already dead.

You're very pessimistic.

It's just another possibility.

Still,

you've managed to bring me down.

With your mouth full of ox penis,
you don't seem so down.

Of course,

I have the worst-case scenario
in mind too.

But still...

If you can't face the harsh reality,
quit the detective work.

Suspects always lie, no matter how hard
you try to show sympathy.

Not all of them deserve sympathy.

Besides, some of the cops
are scumbags too.

Is that why you quit your job?
I mean, as a cop?

Someone at the precinct told me.

You were Sergeant Ryo Arikino.

You were at the Kamiazabu precinct
until about three years ago.

Why did you become an interpreter?

I heard about you, too.

The "Crumb Handler
of the International Division."

What the heck is that?

You can't blame them
for calling you that

when you keep reacting
to small issues like today.

You do have a point.

At the International Division,
any issue that doesn't seem significant

tend to get pushed to the back burner.

All right, then.

Now what?

You ate enough, right?

Let's go find Candy.

Excuse me. Pardon me.

Can I ask you something?

Arikeeno, please.

Wait.

This way.

I can't keep up.

"I've never seen them.
I visit this anime shop a lot,

but there are just too many tourists
around."

I see.

Thank you.

Do you know the percentage
of foreign residents in Tokyo?

It's 4.8%.

That sounds small.

But it's actually 680 thousand people,

which means,
there are as many lives out there.

Shen will continue her life in Tokyo.

When her friend went missing,

no one searched for her.

Imagine living in Japan,

thinking nobody helps in this country.

That's just too sad.

And...

it's just how I am.

Even if there's a hidden agenda,

I don't want to believe it
unless I see it with my own eyes.

If you keep working like that,
it'll break you one day.

What?

Have you seen too much
of the harsh reality?

Is that why you stopped believing

in the police or society?

You, Arikeeno,

are an interpreter.

But you're not a translation app or AI.

You have your own words

and your own thoughts.

So, you should connect more
with the world around you.

Let's go find her.

You're too random.

Oh, yes. These two.

You know them?

They were here yesterday.

This is amazing.

Your hunch was absolutely spot on.

Can you describe how she was?

She was really drunk.
They left around two a.m.,

but she could barely stand,
with him helping her.

Congratulations.

It seems like a rendezvous.

One more thing.

Do you know anything about this man?

I often see him here.

I think he was called Henry.

Is he a regular?

Where is he from? What does he do?

Why did you bring her here?

It's very unusual for you
to help someone.

She was not very efficient.

So, you brought her to me,
the one "in the know"?

I'm surprised
you'd do something for your colleague.

Or maybe you are his girlfriend?

Absolutely not.

I could tell.

But I don't really feel like cooperating.

I don't have the authority
to investigate or make arrests.

On the other hand,
she's an active detective.

If you don't want her
to suspect, just answer her questions.

Go down to the underpass
at the snake sign

after you pass
one of the Chinese restaurants.

Snake sign?

It's here.

You don't have it yet?
Are you messing with me?

Go find it quickly
or I'm gonna kill you.

Excuse me.

Can I talk to you for a moment?

I'll be real quick.

Wait, wait, wait.

Hey, wait.
Stop right there.

Stop.

It's all right.

Give me a moment. I'm so sorry.

Henry,

this man in this picture is you, right?

I know no Japanese.

You don't have to know Japanese.

He's interpreting.

"Is this man in the picture you?"

"I hit it off with her and had drinks
with her in a club."

"But we parted after two a.m."

Where did you part with her?

"Near the club."

Then, why did you run
when I talked to you?

"Because my foreigner's residence card
is at my apartment."

Is that right?

I guess I scared you.

I'm sorry.

You really believe
what this guy is saying?

Why do you say that?

You bought that bag
at that anime shop, right?

Let me take a look?

Just for a moment.

You don't have to be embarrassed
about it.

This is so cute.

Tell me where's Candy is.

What did you do to her?

Miss Koda...

You said you parted with her.

If you parted with her near the club,
why do you have that?

I haven't done anything.

Tell me where Candy is.

I need to see your ID.
Take out your wallet.

This is marijuana.

You said that Candy was drunk,

but did she have only alcohol?

You took her stuff, using this,
didn't you?

I think our stuff
got mixed up at the club.

I'll be in big trouble
if I don't get my bag back soon.

Bag?

Bag?

That bag is not mine.

What's the matter?

It's nothing.

You don't look like it's nothing.

I have no say in the investigation
and I'm not certain.

That's not right.
Don't hold back all of a sudden.

A woman was arrested this morning
for skipping out on a taxi fare,

and a large amount of drugs
was found in her possession.

Is she being questioned
by our division?

Yes.

I'm not really certain
this is related, though.

But still...

Is it a former cop's hunch?

It's an interpreter's hunch.

Thank you for your patience.

This is the list.

Thank you.

"November 6th."

November 6th...

I found it. It's here.

Arikeeno, what's this?

"Give me back my bag."

"I'll return your passport in exchange."

"Don't keep ignoring me. Where are you?"

"I'm gonna kill you."

This bag is...

Your name

is He Zihao, isn't it?

The day before yesterday,
you visited an anime shop in Yoyogi,

where a Chinese man living
in Tokyo approached you.

Are you from China?

My nephew asked me
to buy some Japan-exclusive goods,

but I'm not sure
which ones they are.

This is exclusive to Japan.

It's cute. Thanks.

Is this your first time in Japan?

I can show you around town.

Sorry, it was kind of abrupt.

I'm Henry.
I'm a university student in Japan.

My name is Candy.

Tokyo is so bright at night, isn't it?

Why don't you lower the window?

Do you have anything in your pockets?

Put them all in the bag.

Let's go.

Are you nervous?

You have to have fun.

Do you want to smoke this?

Press here as you smoke.

Take another drag.

Are you okay?
Shall we go somewhere you can rest?

I want to drink some water.

If we go to a hotel,
you can drink water and relax.

Please go buy some water for me.

Wait here.

Don't go anywhere.

Feeling completely drunk,
you realized you were in danger.

And you managed to get away from there.

But after that,
more trouble awaited you.

You mixed up your bag with his

and ended up taking his
instead of your own.

Where are you?
Give me back my bag.

Don't you dare tell anyone what's inside.

Are you all right?

In the bag you took.

there was a large amount
of liquid marijuana.

DAD

Are you having a good time?

Send me many pictures.
Don't stay out too late.

At that time,

you didn't have a wallet
in your possession.

You were accused
of skipping a taxi fare.

and liquid marijuana
was found in your possession.

Moreover,

your urine test came back positive
for drugs.

If you reveal your real name,

the police may contact your embassy.

And your family will find out
that you got arrested.

In China,

drug violation is a felony,
punishable by death penalty.

Knowing that,

you were terrified, right?

That's why

you remained silent.

Isn't that right, Candy?

We were...

We've been searching for you
this whole time.

Please interpret exactly as I said.

"I was..."

"We've been searching
for you this whole time."

Being detained for 40 hours
without understanding the language,

you must have been very scared.

But don't worry.

You're all right now.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

You can go back to your family now.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Here it is.

TOKYO METROPOLITAN POLICE
INTERPRETATION CENTER

Mr. Arikino, did you just get back?

Yes, I did.

I'm going to have lunch
at a new Vietnamese restaurant nearby.

Would you like to join me?

I'll be out all afternoon, so...

I see.

I'll invite you another time then.

You invite him often.

If you have a crush on him,
give up.

This was the fifth time.

Kurosu, that's a form
of sexual harassment.

Just think about it. It's Mr. Arikino.

He distances himself from everybody.

I'm totally convinced
that he despises me.

I'm pretty sure that's not the case.

But I admit
that he sure is very difficult to read.

Here's your Salad Bowl.

Thanks.

Sure.

Thank you so much.

You know what, Arikeeno?

Don't you think

we'll make pretty good partners?

Tokyo is a city

like a salad bowl of ethnicities.

It's not a melting pot
where races merge with each other.

Here, people from various backgrounds
coexist.

So, it's a salad bowl.

Though there are so many foreigners,

very few detectives are experienced
in dealing with them.

And even fewer
speak foreign languages.

I'm ashamed to admit

that I can barely carry on
everyday conversations in English.

All that to say,

let's pick all the crumbs
of the International Division together.

Is that a pick-up line?

Sure, it is.

We're a team of crumb-gathering heroes.

If you need me, you can request me through
the interpretation center.

There.

You should eat more vegetables.

Give it back.

I'll take one.

Look. There's an alligator.

"Heaven's vengeance is slow but sure!"

Are you spending time with her,
knowing that?

It's very weird.

Why did you go there alone?

Arikeeno is leaking information?

What's going on? Answer!

Henry was busted.

I see.

Are we safe?

So far, yes.

But they have all the bags.

Make sure you take care of it.

Clean up all the connections.

All right.
