Original subtitles

Katsue Namiki, age 43.

Are you involved with a yakuza member

who was indicted on blackmail charges?

Please answer the question.

Nope.

You're not a yakuza mistress?

I'm a fortune-teller.

A self-professed psychic.

Well then, read my fortune.

Go ahead.

You're...still single.

Easy. No wedding band.

But you recently met someone.

"Huh? "Huh?

Good for you. Your time has finally come.

How can you tell?

Oh my god!

I see your ex in the picture!

Her ex?

Look at your 'fate line"!

It's a hot mess!

Hot mess?

Ridiculous! Detain her!

"Namba Branch"

It's going to be a bloodbath!

Ow! That hurts!

Prosecutor Amamiya! -Yes?

Come here.

She died?

She was hit by a car last night

on a street in Molo Azabu, Tokyo.

She was taken to emergency, but didn't make it.

Ms. Miki!

Josai Branch is calling it a straightforward accident.

That's impossible.

Foul play?

They're questioning the driver tomorrow.

I'm going. Book the first bullet train tomorrow.

Who's the prosecutor?

He's with the Josai Branch...

How do you pronounce this?

May I?

Kuri...

Kuryu!

Prosecutor Kouhei Kuryu.

Can you assign someone else?

I can't do this.

I can't!

A hot mess?

Hot mess?

She's oozing pheromones.

Prosecutor Baba?

She met someone. Really hot.

What?

She was picked up by a younger man.

But I suspect it was the opposite.

Prosecutor Baba becomes a carnivore after dark.

Back to work.

By the way, Mr. Tamura,

I can't help you on the marital fraud case.

I have other plans. So sorry.

What other plans?

Go home early for once and take care of your wife

that looks exactly like Deputy Ushimaru.

Speak of the devil!

Yes! Two mixers back to back! "Mixencom" is the best!

Endo! Search all harassment cases in the last decade!

Yes, sir.

- By tomorrow morning! -Yes, sir!

And what the hell would you call this?

Reiko has a new lover...

A younger man...

I guess Suetsugu will do.

What's the perfect Christmas present?

Huh? What?

Forget it.

- Good morning. -Mr. Kuryu!

Mr. Kuryu! Mr. Kuryu! Come, come.

This is top secret. Top secret.

What's the perfect Christmas present?

Ham?

That's for New Year! What about Christmas?

Sorry, my train was late.

Good morning.

What's with him?

I'll get you coffee.

Hurry. It's freezing.

Good morning.

This is the perfect season for hot-pots.

Snow arrived early in northern Hokkaido...

Prosecutor?

Isn't this it?

"Public Prosecutor's Office Josai Branch"

This is it.

Mr. Kenya Tokumoto.

At 11:03 pm on December 6, 2015

you were driving your car near 7-5 Molo-Azabu,

Minato Ward, Tokyo.

You hit Ms. Saeko Miki, a party escort.

She landed on the hood of your car and fell onto the street.

This was the direct cause of her death.

Is this correct?

Yes.

But she jumped out onto the road.

Want a drink?

Yes, please.

Prosecutor Kuryu.

But he's so depressed. And cold.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Go ahead.

Gift-giving is a form of bribery.

It's an energy drink.

According to the Criminal Procedure Code...

Enough of your statutes!

She's studying for the bar exam.

OK, enough.

Thank you.

Feel better?

- A little. -Good.

"Snapping Turtle“

Prosecutor! The elevator.

I know.

I have several questions.

The victim's shoes were missing.

Saeko Miki's stockings were torn and muddy.

So she was barefoot?

Ask the suspect.

Why wasn't she wearing shoes?

How should I know?

Really?

Was this the wrong floor?

This is it.

Amamiya from the Osaka Prosecutor's Office.

I'm her assistant, lchinose.

This is from Osaka. Tako Tacos are the latest craze.

Shoulder pain, back pain...Endo!

You're a pain. Massage yourself.

At least some coffee, then!

Huh?

The suspect is a wrestler!

What a crybaby.

Your interrogation is too harsh!

You look energized.

My skin is glowing, too.

- Are you in heat? -What did you say?

Innocent? ls the judge crazy?

I was so certain she was guilty.

Women are all actresses.

Huh?

Hi, Amamiya!

Longtime, no see, Mr. Endo.

Ms. Amamiya!

You're an assistant now, Mr. ldo.

What are you doing here?

I'm here on business.

How nostalgic!

She's wearing a prosecutor's badge!

I can't believe it!

I'm a prosecutor, after all.

Um...

Who is she?

I'm Maiko Amamiya from the Osaka Public Prosecutor's Office.

I'm her assistant, lchinose.

She used to be an assistant here.

From an assistant...

When I was still in security.

...to prosecutor.

You haven't changed a bit, Amamiya!

She's here to investigate that traffic accident.

Oh, yeah. I heard.

The one in Molo Azabu?

Yes.

Welcome. I'm Asagi, the assistant on the case.

She's here, Prosecutor Kuryu.

Welcome...

Amamiya...

What?

It's been ages!

How long has it been, Prosecutor? 21 years?

-8 years. -You haven't changed a bit.

You're still wearing blue jeans!

Are you still wearing that dirty brown down jacket as well?

Prosecutor Amamiya...

"Otozaki clan"

Otozaki clan.

A yakuza member and land broker

were discussing a blackmail scheme.

A party escort, Saeko Miki, just happened to overhear them.

We were trying to get a testimony from Ms. Miki

but she died before we could get a statement.

She was a key witness in a blackmail case.

So was this...

...a cover-up?

Your case

may not be a simple car accident.

The Osaka Office is trying to bring down the Otozaki clan.

The powerful yakuza group.

- How scary. -And dangerous.

Otozaki clan...they play dirty.

They're hard-core.

I smell a bloodbath.

A bloodbath?

Between those two?

For sure.

Those two?

So Ms. Amamiya was the one

who had a 'thing' with Prosecutor Kuryu?

That's taboo!

They've gone quiet.

Oh, sorry!

Are you OK?

I'm fine, you idiot.

It was here...

According to the driver,

Saeko Miki jumped out from behind this wall.

Try it, lchinose.

Here I go.

He couldn't have seen her.

Even driving at the speed limit.

It happened at 11:03 pm.

Why was he driving in this residential area?

He said he enjoys driving and tries to avoid freeways.

Some people are like that.

Maybe he was tailing her.

He accelerated when she jumped out onto the road.

That's not likely.

There are skid marks, too.

Oh, thanks.

Thanks.

Ms. Miki was barefoot.

That's a mystery.

Why would she be barefoot?

Did she really die here?

Maybe she was killed elsewhere and carried here.

- That's possible. -No, no, no.

Let me interrogate the suspect.

Slow down a little. And don't assume he's guilty.

I'm pursuing the truth.

Pursuing...

This is stressful in more ways than one.

She's cool!

Ms. Amamiya went from assistant to prosecutor, right?

Yeah.

What was she doing here?

- What's this? -A wall.

I can see that.

An enclosure.

Enclosure?

Yes, sir. One minute.

Someone's mansion?

A wealthy land owner?

Wait!

Got it!

This was taken in a restaurant two hours before Miki's death.

Two hours before?

She was hit by a car in Moto Azabu after attending this party.

From Aoyama to Moto Azabu?

Prosecutor Kuryu!

Where are you?

How far does this wall go?

What is this?

Who's this foreigner?

I don't know his name...

What?

...but he said he's Neustrian.

Neustrian?

Neustrian Embassy.

Embassy...

Embassy?

Embassies are off-limits!

Off-limits?

Let's go back, Prosecutor Amamiya.

An embassy is off-limits.

Off-limits?

These gates won't open.

Is an embassy really off-limits?

It's impossible.

Impossible.

Probably.

Probably?

Excuse me!

- Is anyone home? -Mr. Kuryu!

That's a camera, right? Excuse me!

I just want to talk.

I said no!

Whoa!

I said no.

These conditions are unreasonable.

Minister Verne, we can't accept all of your requests.

May I remind you, it is Japan

who desires an agreement on this. Not Neusloria.

I'd like to meet Ambassador Roland.

We must sort out the basic points of argument,

before your foreign minister arrives in Japan.

I'm afraid ambassador is extremely busy.

But I assure you,

ambassador Roland receives detailed report of all our negotiations.

Talking to the ambassador is useless. He just arrived in Japan.

He was a college professor back in Neustria.

He's just a figurehead.

He's still the head of the embassy.

A Japanese prosecutor is here at the embassy.

What?

You're looking well, Amamiya.

It's been a while, Deputy Ushimaru.

The two of you together brings back memories.

The two of us?

You make a fine prosecutor, Amamiya.

Thank you!

It's just flattery.

We've received a complaint from the Neustrian Embassy.

A complaint?

It came from the Neustrian Embassy to our Foreign Ministry,

to Legal Affairs to me, to be exact.

You rang the bell over and over

demanding their cooperation?

It wasn't like that. I asked them nicely.

Haven't you heard of 'diplomatic immunity"?

- I've heard of it. -He asked me!

A foreign embassy

is off-limits to domestic investigations.

"Extraterritoriality."

Diplomats have no obligation to cooperate with the local police.

Even if they did commit a crime, we couldn't arrest them.

-"Legal immunity." -I know!

But they can talk to us voluntarily!

What are you doing, Amamiya?

You're supposed to rein him in.

I'm not his assistant anymore.

I know.

But Chief Kawajiri sent us this photo.

Miki was with this Neustrian man just before her death.

Plus she was hit right behind the Neustrian Embassy.

It's hard not to see the connection here.

Diplomatic immunity is a rule stipulated by the Vienna Convention!

Japanese diplomats

working in foreign countries are protected by the same treaty.

Forget the embassy, Kuryu.

So this is a national border.

A national border...

Takuya Kimura as Kouhei Kuryu

Keiko Kitagawa as Chika Asagi

Sorry, we're so loud.

Here's to our reunion!

Cheers!

Nice to meet you!

How do you do!

Hot!

It's been a while, master.

I have so many questions for you.

- Like what? -This is good.

You were Prosecutor Kuryu's assistant, right?

Straight for the jugular.

- Asagi... -Think before you speak!

We're all treading on eggshells.

Let sleeping dogs lie.

Even I know that much.

I smell a bloodbath.

Yes, I used to be Mr. Kuryu's assistant,

once upon a time.

This is really good!

What transcends borders...

Did you always want to become a prosecutor?

Career talk.

That's a legitimate question.

Delicious!

Were you influenced by Mr. Kuryu?

- Asagi! -Think before you speak!

- I smell a bloodbath! -Stop it, please!

What's wrong? It's so good!

I wanted to be a prosecutor

before Mr. Kuryu joined the Josai Branch.

Right?

She was a total bookworm.

- You were? -She never came to our mixers.

- You were so serious. -That's an understatement.

You became a prosecutor 5 years ago?

Right.

It took ten years though, right?

So what?

Wow. I'll never make it.

No worries!

- You can do it, Asagi. -Amamiya wasn't such a big deal!

Really? -Really!

She acts all big and bad now, but...

- Are you? -Of course not!

But she's scary.

She was at the bottom once.

Mr. Kuryu drove her crazy.

He did?

'Wait a minute, Mr. Kuryu!"

That was ages ago.

He drives me crazy, too. Right?

It's nothing like before.

They went "zoom!" to Korea!

Korea?

And to lshigaki Island, too!

- lshigaki Island? -lshigaki?

But that wasn't for work.

You were chasing Mr. Kuryu.

Chasing him?

Why?

Chasing him?

Chasing him...

Order now and get it 3 months later!

Are you married, Amamiya?

Hey!

Hey, hey!

Is that sexual harassment?

I'm not married. But I was proposed to.

What's he like?

He's a lawyer, a year older than me.

A lawyer...

And handsome.

His father owns a trading company. They're super rich.

Congratulations.

Congrats!

Thank you!

We're waiting for your calls.

Hello?

I'm interested in the Figure 8.

- Yes, one... -What?

What's happening?

These lights are beautiful!

I love these lights!

A Christmas tree! Look!

You're so loud.

Sorry.

What transcends borders?

National borders?

The Deputy warned you not to pursue the embassy.

I won't go near the embassy.

I just want to transcend borders.

You're not giving up, Mr. Kuryu?

Hurry up and eat.

Love.

Love transcends borders.

You're right.

And...

...music.

Music, huh?

Planning to sing your way into Neustria?

You said it, not me.

- Also... -Eat, already!

Food!

Sorry.

I have to go home and study for the bar exam.

That's it.

Is there a Neustrian restaurant? Maybe if I search it...

Neustrian Restaurant?

Neustrian...

There is.

There is.

There really is.

Neustrian restaurant.

Does food transcend borders?

Welcome.

Gel in. It's cold.

- Hello. -This way.

Here?

Over there.

It's freezing.

What will you have?

We haven't seen the menu, but...

I'll take a Griffon Beer.

Make that two.

What do you have that's filling?

You just ale paella!

- Sausage. Sausage?

Neustrians love sausage.

- We just had sausage. -We'll take it.

- For starters. -For starters?

Sausage for two.

Sausage for two!

Look! The Neustrian flag!

Excuse me.

Do you get a lot of Neustrian customers?

Yes.

Then...

...how about him?

Have you seen this man?

I guess it's not that easy.

Well, cheers.

- I'm full. -Then why did you order it?

'Shigeyuki Yaguchi'

Amamiya speaking.

Sorry for calling so late. I couldn't gel out of work.

That's fine. I just checked in.

I just talked to my parents. They want to meet you.

I told them we intend to get married.

But I told them to keep it just between us.

They really liked you, ever since our arranged date.

That's fine.

I want to meet them, too.

Really?

When both our schedules settle down a bit, then.

OK.

Thanks. Good night.

Good night.

Sausage.

"'8 huge!

Looks delicious! Bon appétit!

Bon appétit...

Food transcends borders

but that doesn't help us...

Whoa!

- What is this sausage? -It's really good.

This transcends borders!

Definitely!

Neustrians...

Neustrians eat 7 sausages a day.

Huh?

Seven?

Huge ones?

Can you eat seven?

It's all good.

Who is that guy?

He's a drunk.

But 7 sausages a day?

Even I couldn't do it.

I guess we struck out.

I thought we could identify him.

There's only one Neustrian restaurant in town.

There has to be another way.

Excuse me.

What do Neustrians like besides sausages?

Petanque.

Petanque.

Petanque...

What's petanque?

Sorry, thanks.

Something really "Christmas-y."

Reindeer?

- You think they sell reindeer? -Who knows?

After I carried this heavy bag?

My shoulder...

We're back.

I'm starving.

How about dinner?

Ask Asagi what she wants!

What?

Excuse me, everyone.

We're returning to Osaka on the first bullet train tomorrow.

Already?

This investigation is going nowhere.

I see.

Thanks for your work.

That's too bad. I wish we had more time to talk.

Next time.

Let's go, lchinose.

Good luck.

The rain will bring a big drop in temperatures.

Today may be the last warm day of the season...

Mr. Kuryu?

Excuse me.

What?

Did you want to say something?

Not really.

You're thinking, "She's already giving up on this Neustrian lead.'

'After finally becoming a prosecutor?

How disappointing.'

I never thought that.

I can't spend all my time on this case.

I have other cases to tend to.

That sounds reasonable.

The embassy is off-limits.

So it's impossible.

It really is impossible!

Sorry!

Are you OK?

Are you OK?

I'm OK.

Petanque?

A ball game with French origins.

A circle is drawn inside a court.

You throw metal balls

at a target called a "but".

You earn points by throwing the ball closest to the "but".

This is a "but".

And this is the ball. It's heavy.

You play in teams of 3.

Let's do it, Prosecutor Uno.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Why?

I don't know, I just do.

Let's do it.

Uno-cchi.

Just try it.

This?

With mustard.

Oh my god! Delicious!

Right?

Here comes the embassy group.

Did he say "embassy"?

Good evening!

Are you from the Neustrian Embassy?

Yes.

Embassy?

Petanque!

The Neustrian Foreign Minister arrives in less than 2 weeks.

I've repeatedly asked to meet with Ambassador Roland

but Minister Verne insists that we go through him.

We can't negotiate through him!

Are you kidding me?

One more time!

How do you say, 'Cheers'?

- Thanks for the game! -Good game.

It was awesome!

It got so competitive!

I love petanque!

What kind of Christmas present...

He's at it again.

May I ask you something?

What kind of presents do girls like?

Do you know this man?

Wail a minute.

We have to slip these things in

when everyone's in a party mood.

Do you know him?

That's Coleman.

- He's a womanizer. -What did He say?

Is he a diplomat?

Who are you?

Well...actually...

We're public prosecutors.

I'm his assistant.

He's nobody.

He's a boy-man that I picked up.

What the hell?

This is over. Let's go.

Mr. Cassel!

I'm sorry we didn't tell you.

We're investigating a fatal accident

that occurred near the embassy.

That's not our problem.

What is she talking about?

Please, wail!

I'm sorry.

This was the only way we could talk to you.

It was fun.

Let's play petanque again.

Good night.

Let's go.

What kind of Christmas presents...

What?

Excuse me.

Who pushed me?

'Department of Legal Affairs"

Prosecutor Kuryu is here.

Have a seat.

This is Director-General Matsuba of European Affairs.

European Affairs...

Your investigation is impeding diplomatic relations.

Stop this illegal activity immediately.

Illegal?

Did you not understand what I just said?

I'm just investigating a traffic accident.

The driver of the car said Saeko Miki jumped out onto the road.

And...what?

Sit down.

I think the man in the photo knows something.

His name is Coleman

he works at the Neustrian Embassy.

Can you ask him to talk to us?

You're quite the joker.

I wasn't joking.

I know more about Neustria than anyone.

They're not the kind of people who'll tolerate nonsense.

We're in a critical phase of trade talks with Neustria.

It's a relatively young nation, roughly 600 years old.

They're totally different from Japan.

Developing a mutual understanding is an illusion.

Mr. Kuryu.

In diplomacy,

you need two faces-one for outsiders and one for insiders.

Don't meddle in foreign affairs over a trivial accident.

Trivial?

Yes.

You're excused.

What's the verdict?

Nothing. A reprimand.

I'd say a level 90.

Out of what?

That's over the limit!

I'm hungry. Let's eat.

Wail, Mr. Kuryu!

This place hasn't changed.

Here you go.

You're in trouble again, Mr. Kuryu.

What do you mean, 'again'?

I shouldn't have shown them the photo.

It's not your fault.

I got to meet Mr. Matsuba.

Can I have a radish?

One radish, coming up.

- Here you go. -Thanks.

What kind of assistant was Miss Amamiya?

Can I have some mustard?

Mustard. Here you go.

You must have been a great team.

There was an 8 year gap, but you'd never know it.

Remember when you said,

"I'm the #1 prosecutor's assistant.'

'When I'm with you, things get done!". Right?

That was ages ago.

Don't compare yourself to Amamiya.

You're my partner now.

I guess...

Hot!

What is that?

What?

Get out of here!

Hey! What are you doing?

Old man!

Mr. Kuryu!

Mr. Kuryu! Mr. Kuryu!

Please get up! Mr. Kuryu!

Prosecutor Amamiya! -Miss Asagi!

- How is he? -Sleeping now.

- Thank you. -Of course.

Mr. Kuryu.

Mr. Kuryu?

Who are you?

I'm joking.

What time is it?

I had a good sleep.

Ow!

It's just a sprain.

Does your head hurt?

My head?

Seems OK.

What are you doing here?

Miss Asagi let me know. I came last night.

I see.

Are you OK?

Your make-up's coming off.

I just touched it up.

The poor oden truck man.

His stand must be wiped out.

That was no accident.

Running someone over with a truck is a yakuza tactic.

Yakuza...

The Otozaki clan?

All I'm doing is annoying the embassy.

That man in the photo.

He works for the Neustrian Embassy, right?

Are the embassy and the yakuza connected somehow?

Do you still want to pursue this?

You'll be targeted again.

If I quit now

we'll never know

what happened that night.

Why Saeko Miki

had to die...

We'll never know.

And what about the driver, Mr. Tokumoto?

He needs to know if he was responsible.

His life is on the line, too.

The lives of two people are at stake.

We're prosecutors. We can't give up.

But you should go.

This isn't your case.

You have other cases to prosecute, right?

Thanks for coming, though.

Ow!

What the hell!

Let's go, Mr. Suetsugu.

I want to check out a restaurant.

- A restaurant? -The party venue.

Did you know

Neustrians give cell phone cases for Christmas?

What are you talking about?

Let's go, Mr. ldo.

I thought you had a date.

I never said that. I'm looking for someone.

A foreigner, perhaps?

You're perceptive for a change.

Thank you.

The embassy's off-limits!

Let's go, Endo.

Can an individual own a dump truck?

Aren't they for businesses only?

- Not again! -Third time today.

Shut up.

I said, off-limits!

It's off-limits, Kawajiri.

The Otozaki clan is dealing in illegal drugs.

Kawajiri.

Rumor has it, they're using foreigners to smuggle them.

Drugs, huh?

Party escort Saeko Miki overheard

a yakuza member discussing a bribery scheme in Osaka.

She got scared and fled to Tokyo

and was killed in an accident! This can't be a coincidence.

The sweets from this shop are both delicious and beautiful.

She was with a Neustrian diplomat two hours before the accident.

The accident took place behind the embassy.

Was he trying to shut her up?

What if he had a connection to the Otozaki clan?

But even so.

Deputy!

A prosecutor was almost killed!

Diplomats are off-limits.

Impossible, Deputy Ushimaru.

Embassy personnel aren't checked at customs.

You think Neustrian diplomats

are smuggling drugs for the yakuza?

That would make sense.

Saeko Miki was targeted by Coleman,

who has a connection with Otozaki.

And Kuryu was targeted by Otozaki,

who's working on behalf of Coleman.

I realize you're upset. One of your men was targeted.

But I work for the Foreign Ministry.

I know that.

But we can't let Kuryu continue to be at risk!

Then make him drop the case.

We can't.

Why not?

Public prosecutors work autonomously.

And Kuryu never gives up.

That's how he is.

Anyone who paid could attend the party?

It was a wine and cheese lasting event.

So if Coleman knew she was coming as a party escort...

How would he know?

Um...

Can I still reserve a table for Christmas?

- What? -Nothing.

Thank you.

- What? What? -Nothing! What?

What are you investigating?

A traffic accident.

Ken Akamatsu, Otozaki clan Kanto Region Deputy Head.

He's fluent in French.

No way...

He'd be the one to communicate with Coleman.

- He looks like him. -Like who?

The guy I picked up.

I called him, but he won't answer.

Don't lose hope.

Let's follow him.

Thank you.

Where are you taking me?

Act normal!

Are you detectives?

No, we're prosecutors.

What are you investigating?

A traffic accident.

I'll look for the dump truck

but if the embassy's involved, I'm out.

Don't worry about that.

We'll help you look.

Not again.

Again?

By the way...what are you investigating?

A traffic accident.

Please have a seat.

You know Saeko Miki.

You worked for the same escort agency.

I only got to know her recently.

She just gave me her number.

You're...

...investigating a traffic accident, right?

Right.

What's in that bag?

He wasn't carrying one before.

You look good.

Now what?

He'll be suspicious if we go in.

You're right.

Hands off!

I called him, but...

Your boyfriend?

...his line was discontinued.

Time to give up.

He's leaving!

He's coming here!

Your hands are so big.

This beauty mark is a sign of wealth.

Excuse me.

Look at his bag!

It's a different one.

The foreigner sitting next to him!

Where'd he go?

They switched bags!

Everyone is wearing warm coats and scarves.

They're dressed for winter.

Please dress warmly today.

Today's temperatures should be the lowest...

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

What is it, Mr. Suetsugu?

Can't you do something?

Sorry to bother you so early.

I wanted to eat the tacos that you brought

but I don't know how to make them.

I don't remember.

It wasn't this one.

You're the only witnesses!

That's right!

What about the video, Ido

Ido!

The TV station won't release it.

Do something about it!

Hello?

It says heat it in the microwave.

Just zap the whole thing.

Really?

She's pissed!

He looked rugged. Like a gorilla.

- Like a gorilla. -He looks more like an orangutan.

Orangutan...We'll find him.

Let's go, Mr. Tamura.

Come with me, Endo!

- Come with me? -I said, 'Let's go!"

Sorry. Good luck.

Good luck.

Good luck.

Got it! Zap the whole thing.

That's it!

Um, isn't that Karen?

You know her?

The weather girl, right? I'm a huge fan.

A huge fan?

I record all her segments.

Kosugi!

Come with me!

I don't remember.

It wasn't this one.

Mr. Suetsugu!

The voice on the voice-mail was a match!

- Really? -A match?

It's Ms. Miki's voice! Hurry, Mr. Suetsugu!

Thanks! I got it now.

Is everyone working...

...on that traffic accident?

Yeah.

But after our own work is done,

so we're pulling all-nighters.

This is my breakfast.

What are you doing, Mr. Suetsugu? Hurry up!

OK! I'm coming! God...

Thanks, Amamiya.

The suspecfs here.

Prosecutor Amamiya.

I heard the microwave.

What the hell is this?

Hello? What's up?

I have a favor to ask.

A favor?

Your father owns a trading company, right?

"Neustrian Independence Day Celebration'

Does he deal with embassies?

Coleman was targeting Ms. Miki all along.

He knew she was attending. as a party escort.

He was all over her at the party.

Prosecutor Amamiya.

Miss Amamiya!

A present. You're out of tacos, right?

Did you bring enough for yourself, too?

I'm a prosecutor.

I guess...

Please count me in.

But...

Why not, Chief?

Amamiya hates to leave things unfinished. Right?

- Right! -But“.

I want to show you a video.

- A video? -Are you sure?

It's from yesterday.

Temperatures dropped 1.5 degrees in the city.

Snow fell 3 days earlier than last year.

This park pond already has...

The weather girl?

I'm a huge fan! I record her every day.

Well done, well done. Look behind her.

That's Akamatsu from the Otozaki clan.

Slop!

Look at his bag.

He's carrying Akamatsu's bag.

This looks like a transaction.

But who's the foreigner?

- It's not Coleman. -Who could it be?

If this was a transaction,

what did Akamatsu give the foreigner,

and what did he get in return?

Did he give him money and receive drugs in return?

There's more, Amamiya.

The voice-mail.

Voicemail?

From Ms. Miki's friend's cell phone.

Pick up. Please pick up.

Hello?

Hello?

What's that music in the background?

Please pick up!

This recording was dated December 6 at 11:01 pm.

Two minutes before Ms. Miki was killed.

Two minutes? Where was she calling from?

That's what we don't know.

She's whispering.

Like she's scared.

Was Coleman nearby?

Hey! Don't make assumptions! You, too, Amamiya! Be calm...

Hello?

We found the dump truck!

The one that attacked Kuryu?

The model, color and design

all match their descriptions.

Found another one!

This is...

...a fishcake! Bag this!

Oden particles were found inside the bumper!

His name is Coleman.

He looks like he knows something.

The truck is owned by lwami Industries.

Wait!

Don't run!

According to the neighbors...

Go! Go! Go!

lwami industries is affiliated with the Otozaki clan.

Over there!

And Coleman is somehow involved with them as well...

Mr. Tamura!

Move!

Huh?

You ran into that oden stand.

Good job!

We did it!

They caught the driver of the dump truck.

Coleman was involved.

I knew it!

It's her again.

I'm busy.

He hung UP!

We're getting somewhere!

But...

The dump truck that targeted Kuryu is linked to Otozaki.

Otozaki is linked to the embassy.

The link is illegal drugs.

That's true, but...

Coleman and...

...the foreigner on the video.

If we can prove that

Saeko Miki was at the embassy that night...

...all the pieces will fall into place.

But that's the piece we can't prove!

The embassy is off-limits.

It's a dead end. It's impossible.

It's not impossible.

There's a party at the Neustrian Embassy tomorrow night.

A parry?

Their annual Independence Day Celebration.

You have your boss' permission to be here, right?

Of course.

Her grandmother?

She passed away this morning.

Prosecutor Amamiya

dropped everything and headed to Aomori.

I see...

Excuse me.

Was Amamiya from Aomori?

She loved her grandma!

Stop squinting. Why didn't you wear contacts?

You look like a Japanese innkeeper.

This is all they had for rent!

You look like a lame maitre d'.

Shut up.

- Didn't they have other colors? -This is all they had...

Whoa! Sausage.

- They sure love sausages. -Never mind!

The petanque players!

Who got us these invitations?

Never mind.

Your fiancé?

I'll have to thank him.

Honored guests.

Welcome to the Neustrian Embassy.

Now a greeting from Ambassador Roland.

Just read this script.

It sure is hot!

Matsuba's here!

Another familiar face.

- You know him? -Don't look.

Why does he look so scary?

Who is it?

The Foreign Ministry...

It's Coleman.

Who is it now?

It's him!

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Where did he go?

Are you sure it was him?

What is this?

Should we split up?

Split up?

What'll you do if you find him?

- I can interrogate him! -He's dangerous!

Crap!

What's wrong?

Hey...

Saeki Miki's accident took place behind the embassy, right?

Wail! Kuryu!

No way! Kuryu!

Stop it, Kuryu!

Be quiet.

What's that shiny thing?

Ugh. What is this?

That's why!

Her feel were all muddy.

Look!

Where was that shiny thing?

Here it is!

A crystal?

Ms. Miki's shoe had a decorative charm on it.

This?

Did she lose her shoe here?

What?

What are you doing there?

What's going to happen to us?

Who knows?

Will we be tortured?

Tortured?

Whipped?

They may inject us with truth serum...

If we were James Bond,

we'd be tied to a chair and beaten.

- No! -it's a movie.

Sorry. It's my fault.

Sneaking into the party was my idea.

Why did you come back?

Did your boss really give you permission?

Yes.

To infiltrate an embassy?

So you lied.

I would have regretted giving up.

The weather girl!

Sit.

You've gone too far. What were you doing in the garden?

Was there a woman here

on the night of December 6th?

A woman accompanied by Coleman?

What did he do?

Do you know what happened that night?

I have no idea.

But...

What are they talking about?

I told them to get out.

Your actions have violated our diplomatic immunity.

It's a serious offense.

What's going on?

These prosecutors have entered the embassy illegally.

Huh?

You may leave.

Ambassador!

The party's over.

He called him "ambassador". Was he the ambassador?

That's the guy that was drinking alone.

Drinking beer?

At the Neustrian restaurant.

By himself? No way.

He's with the Foreign Ministry.

Do you take me for a fool?

I didn't mean to make you mad!

I told you! This is foreign soil!

They have a different culture and religion!

There's no such thing as a mutual understanding!

I'll leave the Ministry of Justice deal with you.

I'd start looking for a new job.

The Ministry of Justice...

Mr. Kuryu!

The Foreign Ministry...

...made a claim against Kuryu.

That he's not fit to be a prosecutor.

They're pissed off!

The Director of European Affairs...

...called in the Chief.

To the Supreme Prosecutor's Office.

Chief...

Um...I'm...

...sorry.

I'm going.

Good luck.

Good luck.

Will he be OK?

His management capability will be called into question.

I hope he doesn't lose it.

Not in there, he won't.

He's a grown man.

It's the Supreme Prosecutor's Office.

He wouldn't dare.

I'm going.

Where?

To see someone who might be able to open the doors to the embassy.

So where are you going?

To see Mr. Matsuba?

Right.

He's the guy you pissed off!

- You'll just be stoking the fire! -He won't see you.

He's the only one who can do it.

I'm going.

Good luck.

I'm sorry for putting you out.

People don't recognize when I'm mad,

but I'm actually furious right now.

See his lips quivering?

I'm sorry for sneaking into the embassy.

But I couldn't give up...

Prosecutor Amamiya!

You snuck into the embassy?

Yes...

Huh?

Miss Amamiya, these are all your cases!

Bu' x Q; rt“

'Approved: Kinoshita"

We all covered for you.

You all...

So what did you find out?

Did you find out why Saeko Miki was killed?

It just ended.

It took longer than expected.

I'll look over the documents when I get back.

Can you summarize them for me?

Them again?

Kuryu!

Please listen to what we have to say.

One of your prosecutors

made inappropriate contact

with diplomats from the Neustrian Embassy

and snuck into the embassy under false pretenses.

This is an unprecedented offense.

That's...

...Kuryu had his reasons.

I don't have time to play games with you.

We found this in the garden at the Neustrian Embassy.

We believe...

...it came from the shoe of Ms. Saeko Miki.

She was running from Coleman.

She jumped out of a back doorway and was hit by a car.

Charms on shoes aren't uncommon.

This is Saeko Miki's credit card invoice.

We bought the same shoe from the same store.

With the same crystal.

The victim was barefoot when she was hit.

Did anyone see her wearing that shoe?

Yes, Coleman saw it.

He also witnessed the accident.

He reported the accident to him.

He was the one who questioned us

when we were detained by the embassy.

He's an official of the embassy.

Do you recognize him?

This is footage of him interacting with a yakuza member.

Probably in an illegal drug transaction.

Illegal drugs?

You've got to be joking...

This is the truck driver that targeted Kuryu.

We found 2 kg of "crystal" at his house.

It's a type of drug common in Western Europe.

A man named Kenya Tokumoto was driving the car

that hit and killed a woman named Saeko Miki.

As prosecutors,

our duty is to find out why this accident took place.

We're asking why he involved the embassy.

We have no interest in a traffic accident.

In a trivial traffic accident.

Trivial?

Who is this man, Mr. Matsuba?

Finding a shoe charm

doesn't prove that woman was at the embassy that night.

And how do you know

that man is involved in a drug transaction?

There's no evidence.

Two minutes before the accident

Ms. Miki made a phone call. Listen.

Pick up. Please pick up.

Hello...

Does this background music sound familiar?

Hello?

There's no such thing as a mutual understanding!

Please! Pick up!

I'd start looking for a new job.

That's right.

It's the clock at the embassy.

Ms. Miki was at the embassy that night.

Trivial? A woman lost her life!

What's wrong with a prosecutor pursuing the truth?

They're crossing borders in pursuit of the truth!

People like you

would back down in the face of

diplomatic immunity.

But is that the right thing to do?

That's Minister Verne.

Minister?

He's #2 at the embassy.

Minister Verne...

I can't believe it. If that's true...

If he's #2,

the whole embassy may be involved.

Ridiculous.

Coleman is involved, at least.

Coleman can't smuggle drugs.

Coleman hasn't been granted a diplomatic pass.

He's not a diplomat?

What do you mean?

Not all employees of the embassy are diplomats.

Some are drivers or interpreters.

So Minister Verne is doing the smuggling?

Even if he were, there's nothing we can do about it.

The Ambassador is the head of the embassy.

An ambassador would never hand over

one of his own to a foreign country.

This ambassador might...

Never!

Public prosecutors uphold the justice system of Japan.

If someone has broken our laws, isn't it our job to right the wrong,

even if it means crossing borders?

Let's talk to him.

Diplomatic communication isn't easy. Passion gets you nowhere.

That's why I'm having such a hard time negotiating with the Neustrians.

Really?

Different countries

have different cultures and religions.

I understand different people

have different histories, values and ethics.

But there are also things that transcend borders.

Like music, food,

and sports.

Just the other day,

we had a great game of petanque with guys from the embassy

Petanque is fun.

Petanque?

I realize...

...a mutual understanding isn't easy to achieve.

I'm sure it's nearly impossible.

But I don't care if they lie to me

or trick me,

or if we never come to terms.

That's fine with me.

But I want to meet them,

and look them in the eye when I talk to them.

That's where...

...we should start.

We're protectors of the law.

That should be our standard.

Prosecutors should never give up before they try!

That is my strong belief.

Sorry. I know you're a career diplomat.

But you said you're having a hard time negotiating with them.

Maybe that's because you don't know them.

What?

About Neustria.

About their people.

I'm with the Foreign Ministry.

Do you know...

...how many sausages Neustrians eat a day?

Sausages?

Who can eat such a huge sausage?

We can.

We can.

How many sausages do Neustrian people eat per day?

Seven

Seven?

Why do you ask?

It's just a quiz

I'm suppose to answer to the diehard mania

Ah that prosecutor fella

How do you know Kuryu?

He simply came walking across the border

I have a favor to ask you, Ambassador.

Are we negotiating trade here now?

No! No!

Hi.

Ambassador.

Thanks, Cassel.

I always wanted to come in through the back door.

We need to talk.

I know.

Josai Branch.

Yes, Kuryu works here.

The Neustrian Embassy?

You never know unless you try.

Whoa...

The gates opened.

Welcome to the Neustrian Embassy.

What did he say?

No idea.

You'll be sorry!

Maybe.

Traitor!

You're the traitor.

Mr. Kuryu.

Please come in.

Whoa...

Before this,

I taught law at a university.

I'm a lawman, just like you.

Still, rules must be followed.

'Diplomatic immunity" is a rule.

So...

I'm sending Minister Verne back to Neustria.

Where he shall be prosecuted by the Neustrain Authorities

and given the appropriate punishment

Coleman...

Coleman does not have diplomatic immunity.

We will hand him over to the Japanese authorities.

Prosecutor Kuryu!

We will leave him to you.

Thank you.

Thanks you, Ambassador Roland.

Please thank Mr. Matsuba.

- Mr. Matsuba? -Yes.

He asked me yesterday...

...to put trade talks aside

...and listen to what Prosecutor Kuryu has to say.

The border is closed.

What's so funny?

He wants a rematch.

Petanque.

So we finally meet, Mr. Coleman.

You are not a suspect in this case.

We asked you here as a witness to an accident.

Then hurry up. I'm innocent.

Innocent?

I've done nothing.

That's what pisses me off!

Ms. Miki was running from you.

You saw her being hit by a car, and you did nothing.

We prosecute evil behavior as well.

After this,

you will be interrogated for instigating a dump truck accident.

That was a close call, you bastard...

Then you'll be transferred to Osaka

to be questioned about illegal drugs

by a very tenacious female prosecutor.

You will be tried under Japanese law.

Eric Coleman of the Neustrian Embassy gave us a statement.

Ms. Miki ran out from the back door

of the embassy and was hit by a car.

He backed up your testimony.

Under those circumstances,

it would have been impossible

to avoid hitting the victim.

You've been acquitted.

Acquitted...

That's just under the law.

Don't forget that a woman lost her life.

Please drive carefully.

I Will.

Thank you.

You may go.

- Thank you. -That was delicious.

You take your coffee black?

Yes.

I used to add milk and sugar.

When did that change?

When you became a prosecutor?

Maybe.

I wish we had more time to talk.

Me, too.

Can I ask you one question?

What?

No...never mind.

What is it?

Were you in love with Mr. Kuryu?

I was.

But...

I wasn't.

You weren't?

Mr. Kuryu...

...is eccentric,

extreme,

stubborn,

willful,

selfish,

and never gives up.

He's relentless in pursuit of the truth.

He...

...taught me what was important.

I see.

Mr. Kuryu is Mr. Kuryu.

I'm going.

Thank you.

This is for her share.

But...

I'm your senior. Allow me.

- But Mr. Kuryu is coming. -Never mind.

Good luck on your bar exam.

Thanks...

Take care, master.

Take care of Mr. Kuryu.

OK?

Sure!

Thank you!

- Yaguchi speaking. -It's Amamiya.

Can we meet tonight?

Sure. What shall we eat?

We need to talk.

What is it?

Let's talk when we meet.

You're still meeting my parents, right?

I'm sorry, Mr. Yaguchi.

I can't marry you.

Is there someone else?

Yes...

But that's not the only reason.

I still haven't achieved anything as a prosecutor.

You're so selfish.

Huh?

I had a feeling.

That you still had doubts.

So I'll be selfish and wait for you.

Until you become a good prosecutor.

Thank you.

I'm going to be transferred soon to the lshigaki Branch.

lshigaki?

The island you were banished to once.

I wasn't banished!

You were banished, too.

I'm going to follow in your footsteps.

I see...

Oh, yeah!

There's an infamous dried fish thief in lshigaki.

Well, good luck.

Thanks.

And the sun's really strong. You'll burn quickly.

I know.

OK.

And that island sake.

One cup and you'll be out.

I'll be fine.

Probably.

- See ya. -Bye.

Another coffee, please.

Black.

Welcome.

It's nice and sunny at Kanda Shrine.

High school students are praying for...

Where's Kuryu today?

He's taking a day off.

Why?

Why do we have to do his work?

We're better at small cases. He's pretty big, though.

Not funny!

Stop puffing!

Why did Miss Asagi go with him?

She's his assistant, after all.

They've weathered a storm together...

...and bonded.

They don't need to bond!

Jealous, Uno-cchi?

Uno-cchi? How cute.

Don't call me Uno-cchi!

How old are you, anyway?

They're starting to act alike, Kuryu and Asagi.

It happens to everyone who works with him.

It sounds like a nice place.

-It's 12 hours away. -That far?

Hey!

What about me, lady?

Oh...

You're cute.

Let's talk.

His grandmother?

She passed away suddenly. I sent him home.

That's very tragic.

Prosecutor Kuryu loved his grandma.

Did he really?

Strawberry mochi from Kiyamatei.

Really?

Delicious!

Click and buy now!

Or call us! We'll be waiting.

The Gyrating Figure 8 on TV...

That was delicious!

It's the real thing.

Definitely worth the trip.

We didn't come here to eat sausage.

I know. It can't be helped.

Otozaki and Coleman...Everything points to him.

15...15...

What % tip should we leave?

- Five. -Five?

$01?

Yes.

Let's get going.

Wail a minute.

I'm stuffed!

You're so tenacious, Prosecutor.

You never give up.

Shut up.

We didn't have to come all this way.

I can't believe the Chief approved.

I just said I wanted to talk to Verne directly.

But you knew he'd say, 'Go ahead, then'.

I could have gone alone.

That wouldn't be possible.

I'm...

I'm your assistant, after all.

Then shut up and follow me.

Look!

Petanque!
