- Good morning. - Morning.

Looks delicious.

(Year 2017)

Dad.

Do you know what day this coming Saturday is?

Is it the piano recital?

No.

It's Nozomi's classroom open day.

The last one of her primary school.

- She told you before. - She did.

You're working again, aren't you?

It's okay, I should be able to go.

Really?

Are you sure?

You'll make Nozomi look forward to it.

Don't worry. It's a promise.

Great.

It's going to be a long day. Hang in there.

It doesn't look like they'll do anything today.

No.

But I'm still curious about their plans.

The smugglers are on the move.

Let's go.

Nozomi, I'm coming in.

Nozomi.

Sorry about today.

I wasn't able to come.

Forgive him, dear.

Dad is working very hard to catch the bad guys.

- Next time, I promise... - Forget it.

In exchange, promise me one thing.

Don't die.

You must not die, Dad.

Promise?

Okay.

I won't.

I'll keep this promise.

I'm full.

I'm leaving now.

Nozomi.

Come back home straight.

- Today is Dad's... - I know.

I'm not like Dad. I will keep the promise I made.

(Present day)

Good morning, you're here early.

- Good morning. - What's up?

The money for the seafood the other day.

It's fine, no need to pay.

No, I should.

How about you pay the next time?

After we manage to stop another crime.

Having a meal with someone...

isn't so bad.

I've never had a family before.

I've been living my life thinking I could never have a family.

Kosaka?

The pain you have had to endure...

isn't something I could empathize with.

But wanting to prevent a crime before it happens...

is a shared sentiment.

As for the legalization of CA,

I believe I'll be able to accomplish it with your help.

This is a list of psychiatrists I've put together.

I see.

Make sure you get a consultation.

(Kitami)

This is the amended bill.

Also, the materials for the Tokyo Forum.

Got it.

Good morning.

- Morning. - What?

- Long time no see, Tall Guy. - My name is Kitami.

I sure am jealous of Kitami.

He is able to escape from this place.

You were the one who went to HR...

and begged to continue training here.

Ouch! That's the 54th time.

I only did it for the sake...

- of my career advancement... - Sure.

I'm going to live and die for CA.

Investigative work is the best!

Hey, sounds like a hobby in your golden years.

It's why I'm alive.

Guys, as you all know,

the Tokyo Forum is happening soon.

CA will be assisting with police operations...

like we previously agreed.

There's also the Olympics after the Forum.

This year is the year where Japan becomes the center of attention.

It's an opportunity to highlight the importance of CA.

To implement the legalization in one swift move, am I right?

Right.

Before that, we'll need to tackle every case with gusto.

That's all from me.

I'll leave you guys to it.

The dangerous person we will be investigating this time...

is the president of a large fitness club, Shiny.

Nishina Sayaka, 38 years old.

That's one sexy lady.

She's a dangerous person?

- That company... - Yes.

Five years ago,

a burglary and murder happened...

at the residence of the fitness club's president.

The burglar broke into the house...

and killed the manager at the time, Nishina Teruyuki,

who is the husband of the current president.

She was also injured in the ordeal.

The case has yet to be resolved.

After that, she inherited the husband's legacy...

and became the club president, right?

After she took over, the business had a huge boom.

Looks like she has a talent in business management.

Why would such a person...

No, it's because she's this kind of person...

that makes her suspicious, no?

True.

Take a look.

Foreign research laboratories are working on new drugs...

based on gene manipulation.

A by-product of the research is a kind of poison.

Some of these products can be found on the black market.

It is highly efficient.

The poison will dissipate after just 20 minutes.

It then becomes untraceable.

Such a poison exists?

Which means, one can use it to kill a person...

and make it look like sudden death?

A beauty with poison sounds like the title of a novel to me.

The question is, who is she targeting with the poison?

I have a clue about that.

This man.

Tatsumi Yugo, 35 years old.

He's the coach of the winter sports team...

under Shiny's banner.

Nishina Sayaka got the poison...

after an argument with Tatsumi.

If she used poison,

she could make the death look natural.

A pitiful widow.

Who is it that she's trying to get rid of?

(Absolute Zero)

(CA Investigation, Episode 7)

One more time, one, two, three.

Go, one, two, three. Kick!

Keep it up! One more time.

Good, kick!

One, two, three, kick!

Very good.

To the front, with more power!

Is he a new staff?

Yes, this is his profile.

(Makita Kazuki)

Darling.

Good job, guys!

Don't forget to stretch after.

Thank you, all.

- Thank you! - Thank you!

You are President Nishina, right?

Today's my first day here. I'm Makita.

You've already garnered so much attention from the members.

That's very impressive.

I expect good things from you.

Thanks for the compliment.

I'm honoured to be praised by you, Ms. Nishina.

A beautiful and capable woman, with a strong mentality too.

Despite what has happened to you.

I'm not strong at all.

It's because I know I'm weak,

that's why I can only look forward.

That's how I've survived until now.

I come here to exercise too.

I'm looking forward to your classes.

Please do.

Her secretary is a martial arts practitioner.

You noticed it too?

He's originally from the credit bureau.

He works as a secretary cum bodyguard.

I must say this lady president is very attractive.

Very sexy.

You just like the term, "widow."

She's my type.

Don't forget, she's a woman with murder in mind.

Here he comes, Tatsumi Yugo.

He's the probable guy she wants to kill, right?

Let's go swim after resting a bit.

I'm a little shy to wear a swimsuit.

I think I've put on some weight lately.

I like seeing you enjoy your food.

Really?

Have you decided, President Nishina?

- Don't go too far. - You shut up.

I'm just saying this can be solved with money.

She's being blackmailed.

Shouldn't that man be the dangerous person?

Kagami, calm down.

This is all a misunderstanding.

One week.

I'm giving you one week.

It's fine with me if you're not going to pay.

But then, you're going to lose everything.

I'll be waiting...

for good news.

What exactly is she being threatened with?

Whatever it is, she got her hands on the poison...

because of it.

Tatsumi is the coach of the company's professional team.

It's unprofessional to make such a request to the president.

Odagiri, look.

(Photographer, Shinoda Hiroki)

Yes.

You have a guest, Mr. Shinoda.

I know about Tatsumi Yugo, of course.

He liked the photos I took...

and even recommended me as the team's official photographer.

Is Tatsumi in some kind of trouble?

You can't go into details, can you?

I won't ask more.

- Sorry. - It's okay.

Do you know what his relationship is with President Nishina?

I don't think there's anything special.

I heard that the late Teruyuki was his benefactor.

When Tatsumi retired as a professional player,

it was Teruyuki that hired him.

He still has a lot of admiration for the late Teruyuki.

Does he seem like the kind that would blackmail others?

Blackmail?

No, he'd never do that.

Anyway, these are your photos.

Thank you.

About my answer...

Will you go out with me?

Can you give me a bit more time?

Of course.

I can wait.

The way Shinoda described Tatsumi Yugo...

is totally different from what we saw.

But he asked for money, right?

No, he's not short of money.

Looks like it.

He's not blackmailing for money, but for another agenda.

Nishina Sayaka is at the Urayasu Pier.

Looks like she's meeting someone.

A new subject has shown up.

Let's have a closer look.

Kagami, can you run it through facial recognition?

There's no need.

Manabe Tetsuro.

Chief Researcher at the Science Research Institute.

I learned a lot from him while in the First Division.

Why would a man from the Science Research Institute...

be in contact with a dangerous person?

This is a surprise.

Manabe Tetsuro was in charge of the blood tests...

carried out for the incident involving the Nishina family...

five years ago.

(10 years ago)

This way.

Is there something you wanted to confirm?

Sorry for making you come with me.

No problem.

Sorry.

Did you find anything?

Nothing's amiss.

But I got what I wanted.

Nothing was wrong with my tests.

I can finally sleep in peace now.

In order to get the perfect results,

he'd do whatever necessary.

He always chased for the truth for the sake of the victims.

He has opened up a lot of leads in tough cases.

Why would he be meeting with Nishina Sayaka?

Good day.

Mr. Hayakawa, I'd like to talk to you.

I don't.

It's about a burglary gone wrong that happened five years ago...

to a fitness club president.

Don't just start asking questions.

I have no obligation to help you.

Don't say that. We should help them if we can.

Don't say that. Helping them...

Thank you for last time.

CA was a big help.

Did you hear that, Mr. Hayakawa?

Kadota, what happened?

You've gone through the investigation report, right?

Yes. The burglar targeted luxury residences.

The Nishina couple came home and was attacked.

Hello, did something happen?

Hello? Are you okay?

Hello?

Did something stand out to you about the case?

The one who thought the case was strange...

was Mr. Manabe.

He was concerned about the blood splatter.

He wanted to get a doctor's opinion...

about Nishina Sayaka's injury.

How did that go?

After several days of verification, he found nothing wrong.

I have the utmost respect for him.

He doesn't rest until all doubt is removed.

Are you guys actually suspecting him?

- Okay. - Good throw.

- Let's continue. - I practised with my friends.

Really? Do it again.

To the side, very good.

Jump.

Lift your knees.

Good, higher.

One more time.

Very good!

Nishina Sayaka used to be a member of the club.

She met her husband here.

The members who joined at the same time...

are the women on either side of Sayaka.

Nagasaki Yoshiko and Shibuya Keiko.

If there's another side to Sayaka,

they might know something.

Well then, it's time for some fun.

Kagami, stop that.

Kagami, this is a bit over-the-top.

I clearly pass off as a famous writer.

No, that's not what I mean.

Then what?

Sorry to keep you waiting.

So sorry.

Our esteemed writer really wanted to know more about Nishina Sayaka.

I am a writer, Kano Ichiro.

Kano...

He would often use different pen names.

You have a lot of them, right?

I'm not getting any inspiration.

So sorry, please take a seat.

He would like to use Nishina Sayaka as an inspiration...

for the protagonist in his work-in-progress.

When there's light, there's darkness.

Light and darkness...

To paint a character by building up the background.

That's what you mean, right?

We need your help...

in regards to the darkness hidden in Ms. Nishina.

If you know any stories, don't hesitate to tell us.

When you put it like that...

I think she's very lucky to have found the golden turtle.

He wants to know more.

The late Mr. Nishina Teruyuki...

was seeing another woman before he met Sayaka.

I heard they were about to get married.

Sounds interesting.

What happened to the woman?

I heard she passed away due to an allergy.

Allergy?

I think she ate something she shouldn't have.

Yes, put your weight on your toes.

The power comes from the waist.

Like this. That's right.

One more time, yes.

Very good.

He's definitely hiding something.

Gosh.

I hit that too hard.

I like it when you're strong.

He's feeling it!

Please continue.

The person who gave comfort...

to the heartbroken Teruyuki was none other than Sayaka.

It was the catalyst that brought the two together.

And then they got married.

It's coming!

He has a hunch that the gist for a masterpiece is coming.

Please help him out.

I heard she got pregnant.

But Sayaka doesn't have a child, right?

I think she had a miscarriage after they got married.

Whether or not she was really pregnant...

became a hot topic.

This is the woman who was engaged to the late Mr. Nishina.

Anzai Kimiko.

She passed away from an allergic reaction.

There's a connection between her and Sayaka.

The two went to the same primary, middle, and high schools.

Anzai grew up in a wealthy family.

On the other hand,

Sayaka's dad's factory closed down...

and both parents passed away from illness.

She was raised by a relative.

Could Anzai's death be related to Sayaka?

It could.

That's how Sayaka...

managed to become the president's wife.

How scary. This is too sinister.

You said she's your type.

I see the light now.

Not only that.

The assault on her husband five years ago.

Did that have something to do with her too?

She was a victim too, right?

That may be true.

There's something that concerns you about Mr. Manabe. Right, Yamauchi?

Yes.

Mr. Manabe's son had a heart transplant...

for dilated cardiomyopathy.

The surgery was very costly.

Coincidentally, the operation took place five years ago,

the same time the incident happened.

At the time, Mr. Manabe, who was in charge of the case,

went to see Nishina Sayaka, who was hospitalized.

That's how they met.

That woman could be an incredible criminal.

Thank you for your gracious help.

Hello.

Shinoda, what's up?

An insurance adjuster?

She's a close friend.

She wanted to ask you some questions.

I'll get straight to the point.

It's regarding the assault on the Nishina family...

that happened five years ago.

Nishina Teruyuki died...

and most of the inheritance went to Sayaka.

So did the insurance.

You later threatened her, didn't you?

- I didn't... - I know everything.

You threatened her for justice.

It was for what had happened to Nishina Teruyuki.

Am I right?

Tell me the truth.

When he was alive,

Teruyuki had tried to find out if his wife had any hidden secrets.

He found that she had faked her background.

Please take care of the rest, Enami.

Will do.

He also found something else.

That she and his dead fiancée were schoolmates.

I heard the fiancée passed away from an allergy.

Yes.

The day it happened,

the fiancée, Anzai,

was attending an alumni gathering.

Teruyuki confronted his wife about it.

Not long after, that incident happened.

That's why you assumed...

she had something to do with Teruyuki's death.

Am I right?

But why didn't you do anything...

until now?

A month ago,

I saw a man while visiting Teruyuki's grave.

He's from the Science Research Institute.

You mean Manabe Tetsuro?

The case was never resolved.

My apologies.

Was the burglar really the perpetrator?

Why do you ask?

Nishina Sayaka.

Unexplained deaths had happened around her.

It wasn't just Teruyuki.

Mr. Manabe was surprised to hear that.

I'm sure of it.

He must be hiding something.

After that,

I tried to get him to tell me what he knew.

What did Mr. Manabe say?

He just called me.

He wanted to meet tonight.

Tonight?

She hasn't come out from the changing room.

There are no CCTVs in the changing room, right?

Excuse me, is anyone in there?

I'll get a female staff.

She has noticed us.

How?

Just now, when Mr. Manabe called,

Tatsumi was at home, right?

Odagiri, can you check the room?

- What's the matter? - Nothing.

Something came up.

A listening device was installed in the room.

It was probably the secretary from the credit bureau's doing.

They wanted to find out how much he knew.

If he had discovered the truth,

she would kill him with the poison.

But Tatsumi Yugo does not have any proof.

Nishina Sayaka might have...

Her target has changed.

The person she wants to kill is not Tatsumi Yugo.

It's the person who knows about the truth.

Manabe Tetsuro.

Kagami, locate Mr. Manabe right away.

We have to stop her.

Understood.

The poison will make it look like a natural death.

Quickly.

Okay, got it.

I can't keep this hidden any longer.

You killed other people apart from your husband.

If this happens again,

you will...

I started out from such a factory too.

It's unfair.

Living in a big house, wearing pretty clothes.

Living life with a smile.

Then there's people like me.

The factory that my parents operated closed down.

Chased by debt collectors.

Dressed only in dirty overalls.

Why is that?

Why?

Where's the answer?

I know.

It's because of my bad luck.

I started a dessert's class.

You did?

They don't look very pretty, but I hope you like the taste.

Don't worry.

I'll continue your life for you.

The only way is for me to create my own opportunities.

You're wrong.

You made the worst choice!

And...

so did I.

Exactly.

Ms. Nishina has the poison. Get moving.

Your son will be saved too.

What are you planning?

Think about it.

If the truth comes to light,

what will your son think?

"My dad has committed a crime."

"My dad that I respected covered up a murderer."

"Yes, the heart that is beating in my body..."

"was bought using dirty money..."

"from the murderer that my dad protected."

Do you think he could take it?

He might even contemplate suicide.

You can decide what to do next.

Mr. Manabe!

I caught you in time.

You...

Yoshioka, can you hear me?

Go and check if there's poison in Ms. Nishina's car.

Got it.

Nishina Sayaka.

You took the lives of your schoolmate, Anzai Kimiko,

and your husband, Teruyuki.

And now you're about to do it again.

So, you're a cop?

Mr. Manabe.

Yamauchi?

Ms. Nishina, we know you possess a special poison.

What are you talking about?

I just came here to take a break with Mr. Manabe.

Shut up.

Where's the poison?

Not here.

No.

Not here.

Where did she put the poison?

You have a deep pride in your job at the institute.

By uncovering the truth,

you wish to save the victims from despair.

There's something you have to do.

The only person who knows the truth from five years ago...

is you.

Can I have a little break?

I have no idea what you guys are talking about.

I can't find the poison in the car.

I'm just a weak human being.

You made the worst choice!

And...

so did I.

Exactly.

This is poison.

But don't worry.

It won't leave any trace.

There will be no evidence.

It will be treated as a natural death.

Your son will be saved too.

The cigarette.

Mr. Manabe!

- Mr. Manabe! - Mr. Manabe!

Mr. Manabe.

Mr. Manabe!

Mr. Manabe!

It can be really easy for a person to die, right?

Are you going to arrest me?

There is no proof.

- Darn you! - Stop!

You...

Don't worry.

I'll take over your company for you.

Hello, did something happen?

Hello? Are you okay?

Hello?

It's me.

Can you pick me up right now?

The route used by Sayaka to procure the poison...

is being investigated by the First Division.

It's complicated.

They haven't found anything from the scene of the crime.

There's no way to make a case.

How could this be?

This means Ms. Nishina cannot be arrested.

Even though CA singled her out.

She might kill again.

Izawa?

Is this about Izawa?

It supposedly came from his hometown.

A knife covered in the blood of his wife and daughter.

The murders of Izawa's wife and daughter.

The real perpetrator is out there.

I want to stop him from falling into the abyss.

The knife you received...

I just heard from Kosaka.

The killer isn't Usami sent by Machida.

Machida said it.

When Usami got to my house...

Who are you?

There was already someone else there.

That guy is the real perpetrator.

Who could that guy be?

Izawa...

You're not alone.

You have me.

You have the CA team.

If it is something that involves CA, we will see to it that it's settled.

You like Izawa, don't you?

Yamauchi really likes him too.

Izawa seems very popular.

But it's too bad. He killed a criminal.

That guy has crossed the line.

Thanks for the treat.

I'll get a taxi from over there.

The missing person case involving CA.

The murder suspect is amongst you guys.

The perpetrator...

Seems like they want CA to be legalized.

I trust you.

I would end it here if I get to decide.

These three people are all missing.

CA discovered it. It must be right.

It could be a recidivist.

Can you let me go?

Why did you come to CA?

There's no way he'd commit a crime.

I might know who the perpetrator is.
