Hands up!

Drop the gun, hands up!

Mayday, mayday! There has been an emergency.

Police Department, paging all bureaus.

There has been an emergency.

Firearm assault reported in the basement of the building.

To catch the perpetrator...

Please...

Stop Izawa!

The body of the former Deputy Chief of Police, Machida Hirotaka,

was found on a hill in Okutama.

Between 7 and 9pm on the 11th.

Izawa, where were you at the time?

API Hayakawa.

Can I ask you to leave for a minute?

Izawa!

Kosaka.

Stop peeping from over there.

Come over.

That dude is disrespecting me!

Are you belittling me too?

You've got questions for me, right?

Answer me honestly.

Did you meet with Machida?

I did.

What for?

Not long ago,

an anonymous person sent me something.

It was the murder weapon used on my wife and daughter.

The killer, Usami, is currently in prison.

Who was it that sent it?

How did they get their hands on the murder weapon?

I went to see Machida to find out.

So you didn't kill him?

Kosaka.

Why did you go to see Usami?

The person who delivered the knife to me...

is connected to Usami.

The message that person is trying to tell me could be,

"Usami is not the killer, I am."

And about who that person is,

you've got an inkling, right?

Who killed Machida?

CA did not reveal any possible suspects.

Only those who know CA can carry out offences.

I've heard.

According to the press, it was deemed a suicide.

So the former Deputy Chief of Police killed himself out of guilt?

That's the only way the police can keep their reputation.

Where's the proof of suicide?

There's none, right?

Don't get ahead of yourself. This is not a cover-up.

A special investigative team is already on the case.

Listen carefully. Keep your eyes on Izawa.

Can he be investigated?

Doesn't look like anything happened.

You mean this?

That's exactly it.

The one who murdered Machida couldn't have been...

What do you know about Izawa?

And what do you know?

In the last case, if it hadn't been for Yamauchi,

he would've killed the suspect!

Yamauchi here.

I'm about to start the investigation.

Sorry, I'm late.

You've been ordered by Sonezaki of Public Security...

to keep an eye on me, haven't you?

How's your shoulder?

I'm fine.

You can cut through the awkwardness.

That's a given, isn't it?

I don't know how to get along with Izawa either.

You...

Yoshioka, I can hear you, you know.

Yamauchi, over at Minato market,

there's a high-end, but super delicious puffer fish hot pot shop.

It looks pretty good.

Why don't you get Izawa to take you there?

Thank you in advance, Izawa.

I can do that.

I'm just a normal public officer. Don't empty my wallet.

Wait, he can't let him off the hook just like that.

Be more considerate.

Now, focus on work.

Is that man a dangerous person?

Baba Tomoki, 31 years old, unemployed.

Since moving to this area,

he has been stalking that high school girl from the nearby school,

Asuka Tokita.

His room is covered with photos of her.

Is it possible for a stalker to turn murderous?

It's likely, but what's puzzling is...

that it didn't trigger the criminal stalking law.

Statistically speaking,

stalking commonly leads to more serious offences.

That's why CA picked it up.

Also, the girl bothers me.

She's an ace student, but has been skipping school a lot.

Today too.

She has discovered that Baba is stalking her.

She might report it to the police.

Darn!

He must have lost.

He was listening to the race's live updates.

A chronic gambler with a huge load of debt.

The loan sharks are after him too.

Chased by loan sharks, but he is stalking other people?

Clearly, he's not just a stalker.

Izawa didn't kill him.

You'd know if you look at him.

What?

You sure seem to like Izawa a lot.

So who was it that killed Machida?

Well? Are you co-investigating with a suspect?

It must be thrilling.

What's the situation?

The dangerous person in question,

Baba, seems to be planning something.

Next, the gifted child actor will follow up.

How is it going, Yoshioka?

(Mahjong parlour, 3rd floor)

Not bad.

He totally looks like a loan shark.

Perhaps a little too obvious?

This is how a loan shark should look.

You're in the zone.

I'll make sure that guy tells me everything.

Something's up at Tokita's house.

Let me go!

Let's talk about it.

You can't be trusted.

- We need to go after her. - Okay.

Sorry, excuse me.

Sorry. Please make way.

What's going on?

The subject has disappeared into the crowd.

Can you track her with the CCTVs?

The CCTVs are on a busy street.

There are hundreds of them.

She's exiting East Central Road...

and heading towards the station.

Got it.

We don't see the subject at the station.

Let me check.

- Kagami? - Where did she go?

The camera with the right angles doesn't show her at all.

She has disappeared.

Could it be?

Yoshioka.

Go to the shop and check if Baba is there.

Hey, where's this guy?

He left a while ago from the back door.

Baba is gone too.

Kagami, track Baba with the CCTVs.

About that,

Baba wasn't captured on any.

According to the GPS on her phone,

she is somewhere near Yamauchi and Odagiri.

She dropped her bag. Her phone is inside.

She probably got kidnapped here.

- Get in touch with First Division. - Okay.

(Absolute Zero)

(CA Investigation, Episode 2)

You guys are the first people from First Division to come here.

Wow.

What is this?

Izawa of CA.

The investigation into Machida's death is still ongoing.

Were you omitted from the investigation team?

Of course not.

There are countless other things to take care of.

Yoshioka, I heard this place is doing an illegal investigation.

Are you also...

How did you know?

It has been circulating all over. It's over for you.

Is this the so-called CA's AI...

that singled out Baba as a threat to the high school girl?

Why haven't you stopped him?

Because it's not purely a stalking case.

It looks exactly like a stalking case to me.

It may seem so from the get-go.

Who is this old man?

I'm an undercover investigator!

Really?

What are the criteria?

There should at least be an age limit.

The point is, his room has all the evidence,

showing how he has been following the girl.

To kidnap her, he even bought a stun gun.

This is a stalking case that escalated into kidnapping.

Tokita Asuka had a fight with her parents.

What did her parents say?

They said it was due to her school aspiration.

No, I don't think that's it.

I have a daughter of similar age. It's complicated.

She says I smell, I nag, and I talk too much.

She treats me like a bug.

You're already at bug level?

That's proof of her wanting to be independent.

Anyway, we need to take action quickly.

She was born with asthma.

She needs to inhale steroids every day.

If there's an asthma attack, she'd be in danger!

The First Division will take over the case.

Please hand over what you've got.

Understood.

What is this Criminal Attempt?

It's not stopping any attempts.

Let's go.

We're not giving up like this, are we?

The offence has already happened.

It is no longer under CA's field.

The real offence is what's about to happen.

The moment Baba disappeared wasn't caught on any of the CCTVs.

That bothers me.

Could it be he was avoiding them?

But there's still proof of his stalking.

He will be suspected no matter what.

Something smells fishy to me.

Secret investigation that First Division can't do,

CA can.

Anything that might crack the case?

According to the staff at the Mahjong parlour,

Baba left through the back door after receiving a call.

Because leaving from the front would be captured by the CCTVs.

You're saying someone else is instructing him?

Yes.

The location of the person who called Baba...

It is from Ikegawa radio tower.

This is near Tokita Asuka's house.

Did he test the water beforehand?

The place where Tokita was last captured.

I remember seeing a car pass by when I got there.

It was a black rental boxcar.

As expected of Yamauchi.

Kagami, do your job.

Recent rentals of such model within the city...

Here you go.

He probably didn't rent it using his real name.

I'll check for suspicious individuals...

from the credit card records.

We need to find out more about the victim too.

She cried.

Those tears probably weren't from the argument alone.

I'm sure you all know that we're running short on time.

After the first 24 hours of kidnapping,

the likelihood of the victim being alive drops significantly.

She also has asthma. That's already a risk.

This is when we need to stay calm and do our job.

Somebody help!

Somebody help me! Help!

Help me!

A man named Uragami rented a car using a fake credit card.

He's hitting on a woman.

Why not try contact lens?

I'm going to eavesdrop and find out their connection.

- Sorry, did you wait long? - No, I just got here myself.

Please.

Thank you.

What's the proposed years we've dated for?

Just shut up.

We're about to check out Uragami's room.

What a splurge, staying long-term in a hotel.

I'm 90 percent sure this is the den.

Tokita Asuka could be here.

Excuse me. Coffee, please.

She's not here.

What's this?

Materials for making fake identities are everywhere.

He's an experienced criminal.

I found his and Baba's connection.

We can confirm they're related.

Uragami probably took advantage of Asuka.

I'm sure of it, that lousy actor.

I'll leave it to you.

What will you do with those things?

If it's found out, I...

I've almost saved enough money.

You'll be able to leave the shop soon.

- Okay. - Let's go on a trip next time.

Think about where we should go.

It's time to go.

I'll find out who the woman is.

I'm going back to work.

I'll call you later.

Aside from Uragami and Baba, a third man has appeared.

A third man?

Unexpectedly, he's involved with a lot more people.

What exactly is he hiding?

Just as you all thought, the victim is hiding something too.

You really can't judge a book by its cover.

Before Tokita Asuka was kidnapped,

she was seen near Ikebukuro at night.

That's not where she hung out.

We might find clues there on why she was kidnapped.

Continue searching.

I wish to be on the field too.

I'm sure you do.

Anyway, time is running out.

We'll discuss it again.

Izawa, are you saying I'm being a bother?

I'm being sidelined.

Uragami and the third man parted ways.

The man is leaving the hotel.

I have eyes on the other man.

I'm tracking him.

Yoshioka, I'll meet up with you. Keep your distance.

That guy is a professional. Leave it to Izawa.

During my investigation training, I was praised by the Third Division.

Trailing someone is easy peasy.

Yoshioka?

What happened?

Yoshioka?

Yoshioka!

Are you okay?

Sorry, I'm fine.

Uragami went that way.

Kagami, can you find Uragami on the CCTVs?

There's only a shot of him leaving the hotel.

I don't see him anywhere after.

It's happening again.

How did they do it?

The woman Uragami was with works at International Security.

An employee at a big security company.

Sorry about that.

(Information Management, Kuwamura Hinako)

So sorry.

Sorry, thank you.

She's in Information Management.

What will you do with those things?

Kagami.

I need you to check something.

Uragami Tsutomu.

The only way not to be filmed on CCTV is through here.

International Security set up a lot of CCTVs in the city.

The female staff you tricked...

gave you the locations of these CCTVs...

so you could move undetected.

Well then, is that money you have in the case?

A police officer?

That's hard to say.

It's not fair to suddenly attack like that.

Cash money?

It hurts, right?

This is for Yoshioka.

I guessed right.

Halt the investigation.

The other party has discovered the covert investigation.

API Yoshioka is a newbie.

Why did you let him do groundwork?

No, that's because...

We will continue the investigation.

Like I said, First Division is handling the case.

If we continue investigating and...

I'd have to ask you to take care of that then.

Uragami is being silent, he's not saying anything.

We don't know where Tokita Asuka is.

If we go on like this...

This is a criminal relay.

What are you talking about?

Baba is nothing but a trap.

The criminal baton is about to pass from Baba to Uragami.

All of Baba's debts have been cleared.

Right at this moment, he's probably fleeing the country...

using a fake passport Uragami made.

In order for a high school girl to disappear...

and for it to turn into an unresolved case,

he used Baba as a scapegoat.

Meanwhile, Uragami kidnapped Asuka in secret.

As for the third man...

The company he runs is non-existent.

However, Tokita Asuka was not found there.

This means, the baton is now in the next person's hands.

Without CA, the investigation will fail.

If anything were to happen...

Ignore the order and continue the investigation.

I'll bear the consequences if need be.

Even if it means kicking you off from CA?

Yes.

If prevention fails, I'm ready to leave any time.

There's no time!

She would be in danger!

I'll take your silence...

as a yes.

I promise,

I will save Tokita Asuka.

Is this really okay?

Yoshioka, you should get yourself to a hospital.

No.

I'll go after we've saved Tokita Asuka.

I don't want to be called a useless newbie.

Then can you help me?

Okay.

All right.

Our main focus should be what Tokita Asuka is hiding.

Why are these people sharing the criminal load...

of helping the mastermind kidnap Tokita?

There must be something they wish to hide.

Check this out.

She was seen in Ikebukuro at night...

in order to go here.

This club.

A club?

An update, Yamauchi?

It's as you presumed, Izawa.

I got the police to inform Mr. and Mrs. Tokita...

that there may be other suspects apart from the male stalker.

They asked if they knew anything.

They didn't say anything at the time,

but they are hurrying somewhere.

Wait a minute.

That's the place Tokita Asuka frequented...

before she was kidnapped.

Aren't they heading to Club M?

You're right.

The dots are being connected.

In order to save the victim,

I'm going to persuade the higher-ups to let CA continue investigating.

(Hiring hostesses)

I'm going to check it out.

Excuse me.

I saw the recruitment poster outside.

Please take a seat.

Okay.

- Can I use the toilet? - Go ahead.

Where is she?

I'm sure she came to see you.

She was here.

She looked happy to see me.

What did you tell Asuka?

I asked if she'd like to work here.

She's a beauty, just like me.

I can't believe you said that.

Do you know what you've done?

Are you going to kill her?

What?

- Calm down! - Tell me!

- I don't know! - Spit it out!

I said I don't know!

So who was it that...

- Get out! - What are you doing?

Get out of here!

What were you thinking?

Get out, now!

What do you want?

The owner of the club seems to know something.

I'm going to find out more.

Who are you?

I'm here to look for a job.

You don't look sexy at all.

But, fine.

Can I start today?

Did the club owner...

say that Asuka looked like her?

If we're taking her word for it.

Take a look at this.

I checked Tokita Asuka's IC card.

Aside from Ikebukuro Station where the club is,

she also alighted at Kokubunji Station.

I tracked her on the CCTVs and found that...

she visited this place.

A science research lab.

You're a pretty quick learner.

I get that a lot.

Kagami.

You want me to hack it?

With the Internet,

I can have all the information I want.

That's how scary the world is now.

Tokita Asuka went to the science lab to get a DNA test.

It was a parent-child test.

"Kitame Kuroko Credit Investigation"?

We were approached by your daughter.

The content is classified so...

But, we haven't been able to contact Asuka.

She has been missing since yesterday.

So she did go missing.

Will it be alright for us to help search for her?

We already told the police.

Perhaps you didn't tell them everything.

Is there something you couldn't say?

There's a secret you two are trying to hide.

Actually,

your daughter...

had asked us to look for her real parents.

Because of that,

it must have had an implication on her kidnapping.

Please tell us the truth.

What the police can't find out, we will be able to.

We assure you we can save your daughter.

I used to work at a children's counselling center.

Why did you leave her like that?

Asuka has asthma, you know?

She needs proper care!

Because she's too noisy.

I took care of her a few times out of urge.

But it was only a short-term solution.

It wasn't really talked about until now.

But since a long time ago,

there has been severe under staffing at childcare services.

Plus, it had nothing to do with the police.

When childcare services failed to protect her,

I had the feeling Asuka would die.

She posed the question to me then.

Do you want to buy the child?

I'm planning to start a business.

I'll sell her to you.

One million yen.

One million is okay, right?

I said no, of course.

Even after leaving childcare services,

I couldn't get past it, so I went back.

I found that the abuse had continued.

It got worse.

Asuka became really weak.

She was at risk of dying.

In the end, I paid them one million...

and bought Asuka.

I really wish to save Asuka.

Then, recently,

the birth mother wants to expand her shop...

and came to us for money.

That's how Asuka found out the truth.

Asuka's smile.

Her tearful expression.

I cherish them all.

If anything were to happen to that child,

I wouldn't be able to live.

Child abuse is utterly despicable!

Even so, until now,

deaths resulting from child abuse never diminished.

Tragedies continue to happen.

Finally, voices of discontent are being heard.

In order to prevent it,

it has to be like CA.

It needs a complete legal system.

The dots are finally connecting.

Can you shoot if required?

At API Izawa?

That hospice psychiatrist is hot, isn't he?

Izawa!

Taste the sufferings of hell!

Where is the girl right now?

You're looking for her, aren't you?

I didn't think you had the heart of a parent.

It doesn't matter what happens to the girl.

I just want to expand my club.

I need money.

Ouch, what are you doing!

Hold on, now. What's the ruckus?

You're under arrest.

She's only 17, right?

I've called the police.

Excuse me.

I'm from the Ikebukuro Police.

The person in contact with Masumi...

is the guy she dated before, Kawada Eiji.

He's Tokita Asuka's real father.

Kawada Eiji is currently running a human resource company.

He mainly handles the turnover of overseas workers.

Does it have anything to do with the company...

of the third man Uragami dealt with?

Can you check for me?

Will do.

Tokita Asuka has been missing over 24 hours.

Don't panic, keep calm and do the job.

I'm at Kawada's human resource company.

I'm heading there too.

All the puzzle pieces are dropping into place.

Baba, Uragami and the third unidentified man.

The place where the criminal baton is at...

is Kawada.

I'm Yokochi from Teido Group.

I have an appointment with President Kawada.

Sorry.

Stop!

Don't come near!

I'll jump if you come near!

Calm down, please calm down.

How is she?

The asthma has subsided. She's breathing normally.

Good.

Do you know who I am?

I am...

your real father.

Sorry for the harsh treatment.

But...

I really wanted to see you.

Whatever it took.

Why?

Why did you do this?

I'm sick.

My days are numbered.

Even just once, I wanted to see you.

So I asked for your parents' permission.

But they wouldn't agree.

Because I was poor,

I was scared about the future.

I couldn't even deal with my own problems.

I'm so sorry.

The parents who brought you up.

I'm truly grateful towards them.

You've grown so big,

Asuka.

I'm glad.

If anything had happened to you,

I wouldn't have forgiven myself.

The one who named you Asuka,

was me.

The anaesthetic is taking effect.

Well then, have a good sleep.

It'll be okay.

Everything will be over when you wake up.

Kawada is on leave because of illness.

I'm not sure where he's admitted.

Yoshioka, try and find out using Big Data.

I found Kawada's past hospital records.

He has renal insufficiency.

It says the condition is rapidly deteriorating.

Rapidly deteriorating?

It might trigger other symptoms.

His life will be at risk if this goes on.

You sure know a lot.

Incredible company.

I checked up on Kawada's human resource company.

On the surface, it's a human resource company,

but in truth, it's a human trafficking hub,

dealing with foreign workers.

Forced labour, forced slavery.

It also deals with illegal organ trade.

It's totally an underground black market.

What did such a criminal kidnap Tokita Asuka for?

Just as I thought.

Kawada and Tokita share something in common.

They both have the same blood type.

O negative blood.

Kawada's kidney is deteriorating rapidly...

and needs an immediate transplant.

If Kawada knows that Asuka has the same...

O negative blood type,

a one-in-a-million kind of blood type...

You mean...

That's exactly what I mean.

Asuka was born with asthma.

Under normal circumstances, she is not fit to be a donor.

Kawada, who sold his child off for one billion yen,

got her back through criminal means...

in order to take her organ.

It's about time the price is increased.

If this operation goes well, I'll think about it.

We made it.

The investigation on illegal doctors related to you...

brought us here.

Who are you?

You should know even if I don't tell you.

But,

you did one thing right as a father.

Which is selling off Asuka.

That way, she could be rid off such garbage parents.

I think there has been a misunderstanding.

I found her collapsed on the street, so I took her in.

Do you think I'll believe that?

Where's the proof?

I'd like to see what you've got.

How is it?

The man handling Kawada Eiji's illegal dealings,

Takahashi Shouji, has admitted to everything.

There you go.

No!

Why?

Did you think Takahashi wouldn't talk?

In order to get to the bottom of this,

we offered him a deal under law in exchange for a lighter sentence.

Kawada.

The prison will be your grave.

Even when you die,

there will be no family members to weep for you.

You dying is not enough.

Suffer in loneliness.

He has been carrying out illegal dealings, right?

Where has he gone?

I think to South Korea.

They've arrested Baba in South Korea.

How about Tokita Asuka?

They found her.

Looks like another investigator has solved the case.

Damn that Izawa!

It's okay now.

Being sold again and again. I've had enough.

I want to disappear.

You still have a place to go back to.

There are people who love you dearly.

People who...

would accept you no matter what happened.

There's a family waiting for you.

Nothing can be more wonderful than this.

Asuka.

Thank goodness.

Thank goodness you're back.

Dad, Mom.

Uragami has been arrested.

They've also begun investigating Kawada's company.

The staff seemed to have no idea about the black market.

Is that so.

Mr. and Mrs. Tokita's statute of limitations...

has passed, right?

The maximum time for human trafficking is ten years.

Good.

The Tokitas have applied to be Asuka's official guardians.

I'm going to help them change their household registration.

I want to do groundwork.

I just want to sleep. My head hurts from being hit!

Yoshioka, go to the hospital and get some rest.

Thanks, guys.

See you.

I should head home too.

Wednesday.

You did the same last week too. You left at a specific time.

Could it be...

You're still attending the group therapy?

No.

It was only part of the investigation.

Why are you still going?

It must be a guy.

Is it the hospice psychiatrist?

That's considered sexual harassment!

And you're committing power harassment!

Calling it sexual harassment was wrong.

You better get that cleaned up!

Gosh, that hurt.

What are you writing?

The number of times I was hit.

One day, I'll be at the top of the ladder.

Just you wait!

A Death Note, huh?

If CA hadn't taken action,

Tokita Asuka wouldn't have been saved.

If not for Izawa leading the team...

CA needs Izawa.

I'm sure you feel the same.

I can see that he's a talented investigator.

Not just that.

CA's mission is...

to always have the drive to stop crime from happening.

All the members should have the same drive.

Because of CA's existence, Izawa lost his wife and daughter.

Because of that...

No, exactly because of that,

Izawa is putting everything on the line for CA.

Why are you so sure?

I'm sure because it's me.

If he turns violent,

it will affect the legalization process.

As a supervisor,

I will continue to monitor him.

Will you shoot if required?

At API Izawa?

Why?

Hello.

Izawa.

As a supervisor,

I believe CA needs you.

- In the future, CA... - Yamauchi.

I have a favour to ask.

Yes?

If...

Let's say...

if I were to cross the line again,

will you shoot?

Kill me.

You have to do it.

(61 days later)

Izawa!

Izawa!

The dangerous person lost their memory.

Us continuing to investigate might cost lives.

- What is your actual name? - Odagiri.

I won't let you die!

Why did you join CA?
