Original subtitles

Japan has an aging population compared to the world.

The advance of nucleus families has exacerbated the problem.

This situation has caused...

the increase of elders without anyone to rely on.

This is a horrible time.

Yes. You can't rely on anyone once you get old.

You are left alone. It's sad.

Risk management is the key now.

Savings, health and marriage.

Speaking of this, I heard there are more scams...

targeting elders in this town.

The Intelligence Crime Unit is very busy.

All of you can't stop making noises since morning.

Hey, this man is not in a good mood.

Was he dumped by a woman?

It's almost time for payday. I think he needs money.

I have nothing to live for anymore.

How could you not understand my feelings?

It's so sad.

It's even sadder for me to have a subordinate like you.

I am going home early.

Do you still want this job?

This horse looks good. Right? It is really rare.

It looks muscular, right?

Just like me.

Look at my handsome face.

I would be attracted to me if I was a woman.

You've said that four times already.

What? You have a bad attitude.

Sorry.

What is it?

His eyes are going to sink into my breast.

What are you talking about?

- You're so cute. - You're so cute.

Me?

Your skin is flawless.

- Are you a police officer. - Yes, I am.

Right. Look.

Are you ready? I'm going to start if you are ready.

Sorry. I am a police officer.

You really are a police officer.

It is so unexpected.

- Torao. - Yes?

If I got myself in trouble, would you come and save me?

Of course. Anytime.

So cool.

Don't do this.

Ai is here.

I will call in the squad to save you.

Hey.

Yugami.

Aren't you Saratoga?

What a surprise. Come here.

(Detective Yugami: Episode 8)

Cheers.

Isn't it great?

It's been a while, Yugami. You're still the same.

Am I?

Right, let me ask you something.

Didn't they say this place only has young girls?

I am only 20 years old.

What? You totally exposed your age.

Disgusting. I am not that old.

Whisky soda like old times?

- You still remember. - Of course.

How is your son?

He's fine. He's still at the welfare center.

I am saving money so we can be reunited sooner.

You are working hard.

I will work even harder.

I am looking for a day job for the kids.

What? Are you starting soon?

It is not that easy.

But it's okay. My target is to get the top spot here now.

You?

I am in your care.

What can I do?

- This client ordered Dom Perignon. - Hey, you!

No!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Put it on his tab.

What are you doing? Seriously.

You really are Yugami.

Minoru, what about this letter?

I will send this back as usual.

Are you okay?

It's fine.

Right, I will leave this virgin with you.

Seriously.

Really? He's still a virgin?

Are you okay? But you're so cute.

No. I have not kissed anyone before.

Really? Do you still fantasize about woman?

What a fool.

A virgin can only kiss the cheek.

You can't overdo them.

You red apple virgin. Your face is red.

- Hey. - Yes?

Saratoga, you can leave us here.

Yugami.

Yes?

I will do my best.

Yes.

Thank you very much.

The deceased is Saratoga Manami, 33 years old.

Time of death is estimated to be 3:00am.

Isn't she...

Saratoga had 1.8 million yen with her.

It seems like...

yesterday she went into Apartment 405 and stole the cash.

While she was trying to run away,

she slipped and fell on the green belt.

So it's a case of the death of a robbery suspect.

The victim, Numata, said since the money is all here,

he won't file a police report.

So this is reported as an accident.

Let me check the scene.

He seems to be in shock too.

What?

Saratoga had a record of theft. She was previously caught by Yugami.

What?

He must have believed that Satoraga had turned over a new leaf.

I found out that the insurance box was opened in the morning.

I thought I was robbed.

Were you here the whole night last night?

Yes.

Did you hear any strange noises?

I have no recollection of that.

Really?

Excuse me.

Is he a doctor?

I am really sorry.

What are you doing? Stop it.

No. I am trying to confirm it.

I'm trying to confirm if the lock is broken.

You look like a thief.

Many people have told me that.

You can't scare an old man like me.

Yes.

I will look in the opposite room. Pardon me.

I am really sorry.

Do you live alone?

I am still single. I don't have much luck with women.

But I really envy you.

To be able to have a huge house like this.

How are you able...

to enjoy a good life after your retirement?

I have been investing my retirement funds.

Are you good at investment?

I used to work at a bank.

Wow.

This clock looks grand.

This is the gift I got for my retirement.

You must have a glorious history.

But, sir...

Compared to this,

the most important thing is how you live your long life.

It is still early for me. It's decades away.

Please, sir. Your time will come soon.

- Right? - What?

This is the near the time of death of the victim.

Saratoga is not on the recording.

It looks like she entered through the window.

Could you fast forward it?

Okay. No problem.

Isn't that Numata?

This old man kept 20 million yen in the safe.

Really? That's amazing.

(Autopsy report on unnatural cause of death)

Yugami, pass me Saratoga's report now.

No.

What?

Don't you think this case is suspicious?

Why?

Do you know Saratoga's nickname?

Invisible Woman.

She stole a small amount of money...

from different people to avoid getting caught.

She stole 10 million in five years.

- That's impressive. - That's right.

Saratoga stole a little from everyone.

But now she stole 1.8 million yen. That's not her style.

No matter what, he is not filing a police report.

It's useless for you to investigate.

What did her son say?

Right.

I contacted him.

Damo fell down.

(Orphanage)

Damo fell down.

He must have felt responsible.

Responsible?

When Yugami caught Saratoga,

she had stopped stealing.

She had a kid and tried to turn over a new leaf.

But her past crimes were exposed by Yugami and he caught her.

So she was separated from the kid.

Please let me go.

My son is only six years old.

He does not have a dad.

What would happen to him?

No. I caught you.

The thief who stole 10 million. The fingerprints matches yours.

I have not committed anything wrong since Minoru was born.

I told myself to live a good life for my kid.

Please, Minoru is still a kid. I have to be with him.

Please calm down.

Please.

Let me go.

Please.

Please.

Sorry.

You are really energetic.

I heard she died.

She must have known what was coming for her.

Falling down from people's balcony.

She must have been stealing again.

Don't jump to conclusions.

I remember someone said people don't change easily.

That's not necessarily true.

Your mom had been trying to save money to take you home.

Who knows?

Haven't you heard?

It does not happen when people are dead.

Can you leave?

I want to forget about her.

Wow. So young.

He is really different from you.

So, what is the purpose of all this?

To learn.

How does a single man spend his golden days?

You need to learn that. Not me.

I will get married eventually.

You? The virgin?

I'm not talking to you. I'm leaving.

Hey, hold on. Hold on.

I'm trying to find out what Saratoga and Numata had in common.

I checked and found out...

there was no one present besides Numata on the night of the incident.

People would usually choose an empty house to steal.

So, Saratoga...

purposely went into Numata's house to steal?

There must be a reason.

Think about it.

Numata is such a rich man.

How is he connected to a poor person like Saratoga?

Thank you for waiting.

Here's the peach dessert.

How cute.

Enjoy the food.

Found it.

All men love that place.

So?

No.

Maro, do you know him?

I don't know this customer.

I knew it.

Hey, you.

How could a tasteful old man come to a place like this?

What? Then we came here for nothing.

Torao.

Kira.

Thank you for calling me.

Of course.

You, ripe apple. You came here for Kira?

No. I am here for an investigation.

I miss you.

Me too.

Is Ms. Saratoga really dead?

Did she fall from someone's balcony?

Apparently, she was a thief.

That is so scary.

But I had a feeling.

What is it? Tell me.

She seemed really desperate for money.

I heard she begged the manager for a salary advance.

Can we ask for a salary advance?

Of course not here. That's why she went to steal.

I see.

You can't even buy two rice balls with this money.

It seems like she really needed money.

Try and look at this.

(Check transaction record)

What? What's this?

860,000 yen? What's that money for?

Check out that person.

Please help me.

There's a troublesome person at the precinct...

that doesn't allow me to check it myself.

Where is Yugami?

What is that called?

After the fervour for horse racing subsided,

he must have been playing pachinko or mahjong.

Seriously? At this time of the day.

What is it?

Aren't there more scam cases involving old people?

The director has asked our department...

to lend a hand in these cases.

The director's order?

Hanyu, he is your partner. Go find that fool.

No. I can't find the wild horse.

When you can control him,

people will think highly of you.

What?

The director praised you.

He said it is the first time someone partnered with Yugami for so long.

I will handle him. I will.

- Will you? - Yes.

Then I will leave Yugami to you.

Understood.

The chief has full control of Hanyu.

That's right.

(Saratoga)

(For Saratoga Minoru. Refused to accept)

I want to forget about her.

(Refused to accept)

Are you breaking in illegally again?

What? You did that too.

I feel sorry for myself too.

Did you find anything?

No.

Just some evidence that Saratoga was despised.

And she had prepared a gift for her beloved son.

She must have planned to give it to him on his birthday.

Too bad. Time is up.

We have job to do.

A job to do?

This is Officer Susonaki...

from the headquarters of the district.

Hello.

I hope we can all work together.

We are in your care.

The victim is Nishino Megumi, 67 years old.

She got a call from a stranger at her home...

suggesting her to invest to earn some money.

The amount was eight million yen.

She felt suspicious so she called the police.

We asked Ms. Nishino to pretend to get hooked.

After we confirmed the scene of the transaction,

we will arrest the culprit.

I will not let you walk away.

The transaction location is Kinko Hill Park.

Please wear casual clothing.

Please wear casual clothing on that day and keep a low profile.

Ms. Nishino has reached the location.

It is almost time.

Hey, what is that guy doing?

Why is that guy wearing a wig?

Is he trying to pretend to be an old man?

Why is he doing that?

Isn't he too close?

Are you Ms. Nishino?

The suspect has appeared.

It's the girl, Kira.

Who is she? Do you know her?

She is Hanyu's girlfriend.

No. It's a misunderstanding. I am going after her.

Hurry up!

My waist.

Darn!

Pursue her. Hurry!

It hurts.

Torao, why are you here?

I said I don't know anything.

Passing a paper bag and receiving 30,000 yen.

Don't you think it's suspicious?

I just thought I was so lucky.

You have no conscience whatsoever.

You are an accomplice to a crime.

Using money to seduce youngsters who don't know better.

When they get caught, they get nothing.

Losing a limb like a lizard.

So who is that person who talked to you?

A skinny guy around 30 years old.

When did you meet him?

After work.

Saratoga was with me at the time.

What?

We were happy that we got a good part-time job.

I am saving up to get my kid back.

I will work hard for my kid.

I wrote down Saratoga's death as an accident.

What? Why?

Saratoga and Kira...

were both working as money collectors.

It seems that a recruiter from the group of scam artists...

had been contacting her a lot.

And she...

wanted to take back her kid from the welfare center.

She must have been impatient and wanted to get the money quickly.

Lie and steal to get the money.

Doing all these crimes.

Who knows?

Please come to your senses.

When she was stealing, she fell down from the balcony.

You're the one who should come to your senses.

What?

What if Saratoga had no theft record?

What if she was just a mother?

You won't jump to conclusions. You would investigate properly.

(Kazumi. I know Meiko's identity)

(I know Meiko's identity)

Good job.

Thank you. Just focus on the core.

Okay.

You took 860,000 yen from her last week.

Yes. She gave it back to me.

She gave it back to you? Why?

This would sound humiliating. I was being conned.

Really?

I passed the money to her.

Apparently, she didn't know that it was a con.

She came to apologize to me later.

I am so sorry.

I only have 860,000 for now.

I will give back the rest to you.

Please forgive me.

This...

Sorry.

She was very persuasive so I retracted the police report.

How much did you lose?

I lost 1.8 million yen.

1.8 million yen?

Hanyu, have you finished Saratoga's report?

Sorry. Not yet.

Our head of department is asking for it. Hurry up.

Sorry.

(Report)

(Unnatural cause of death. Saratoga Manami. 33 years old)

(Fell to death. Should be an accident)

What if Saratoga had no theft record?

You won't jump to conclusions.

You would investigate properly, right?

- Hanyu. - Yes.

We have a guest.

Thank you for yesterday.

It seemed really dangerous.

No. It is nothing.

Thank you very much.

I want to give this to you to thank you.

Come and watch it if you are free. "The Feast of Beautiful Witches."

Okay.

(Kamao Dance School)

She seems good, right?

Really? Thank you.

Hey, what are you doing here?

I am investigating the fraud case. What about you?

I am investigating Saratoga's case.

Although everyone makes mistakes,

I don't think she's the kind that makes these mistakes.

Why are you so persistent?

She must be in pain.

She was totally misunderstood by her son.

Saratoga was raised in a single family too.

Her mother is not that great.

When Saratoga was 16,

her mother met a man and disappeared.

Saratoga was abandoned and had no means to survive.

So she became a thief.

But when she had a son,

she did not want the son to go through the same thing as she did.

So she kept working hard and retired from stealing.

She wanted to a be a good person for her son.

What is it?

Let's go.

I see.

Truly.

Sorry.

They sent it to the garbage disposal.

I see.

What should we do?

There is only one way then.

What?

What? Hey.

No.

The district officers are watching us.

What if we were exposed?

If we were exposed, we will get a warning.

I don't want to.

We need to talk about risk management.

This is a very risky method.

I told you sometimes we have to use every means necessary...

to find the truth.

What? Don't you always use every means necessary?

If it works, we crack a huge case. Do you know that?

It's a good opportunity.

Let the district police see what you can do.

You can use this chance to shine.

What is it?

It hurts a little.

My stomach. It hurts.

Really?

It hurts.

(Save electricity)

Is Hanyu still resting?

It seems that his gastritis is getting worse.

Yugami.

What did you do to him?

I didn't do anything.

Chief Kanno.

There's another fraud case in the town again.

The victim is Minami Hiromi, 65 years old.

Ask someone to help.

Okay.

No.

I am investigating the theft at the convenience store...

at Toshinmachi.

So...

I am really busy.

Go now!

Minami has arrived at the place for transaction.

Don't touch the person collecting the money yet.

We have to catch the real culprit no matter what.

Someone is moving towards Minami.

Okay. Okay.

You only need to say it once.

The suspect has made contact with the victim...

and has taken the cash.

Yugami, follow that woman.

The others will be on guard at the direction she's headed.

- Okay. Okay. - I said once is enough.

Got it.

Really?

It's not cash.

She's just bait.

The money is still at the toilet.

Coming.

Gosh. Hurry!

Okay. Okay.

What are you doing? Take note of the plate.

I can't see clearly.

What are you doing? You fool.

Sorry.

Did we fail?

Yes.

Yugami suddenly disappeared from the scene.

What?

Thank you for waiting.

I will send you your reward later.

Hey.

Where are you going with something that doesn't belong to you?

You are...

That is mine. Give it back to me.

(Solo win. Happy New Year. 9000 yen)

Sorry. So it's you, Officer.

I will give it back to you.

Sorry for pretending to be your subordinate.

The real one was brought to the police station.

What do you mean?

It's simple.

We waited for the person you hired and pretended to let him get away.

Let's go.

Okay.

I was there to ambush and apprehend him.

I asked him for the place of the exchange.

And I pretended to be him.

What you brought here is concrete evidence.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Really?

Well...

- Do you know her? - Yes.

Miss Minami.

We attended the same ballroom dancing class.

She was scammed in the past.

How unfortunate.

The culprit who got his money...

feels sorry for her?

This is called payback.

So I set up a trap for you.

My name is Minami. I am joining the class today.

I am in your care.

I am in your care.

I gave you a bait that you like.

It does not look like you are new.

Wealthy. Living alone. Not close to family. Lonely.

This is the right target for you.

Can we exchange contact details?

Okay.

That is good.

And you fell for it.

How is that possible?

The number you received from Miss Minami.

It was a number we prepared.

You are the only person who knows this number.

And Minami got scammed.

That means you part of the group.

Also,

Minami doesn't exist.

What?

Her name is not Minami.

Her name is Kitakaze.

She owns Genki Girl Pub. She used to be an actress.

A good one.

What else can you say for yourself?

Why did you do this?

Your money is enough for you to live on.

My only goal in 38 years was to work.

I had no family.

But all of a sudden, I had no job just because I am retired.

Every day when it's time for me to get back to work,

I would open my eyes because I can't sleep.

But I had nothing to do.

When you are alone, time goes by so slowly.

Wake up, eat and sleep.

This is the cycle until the day I die.

But there are many hobbies...

There are many ways to enjoy retirement.

No.

Nothing is interesting.

I can't get satisfaction from the hobbies.

So scamming people is interesting?

I did not do it for fun.

Then why did you do it?

So people would need me.

If you are very free,

do you want to work with us?

If I talk to the old people, they would not get suspicious.

So they wanted me to help.

The phone started to ring again.

Hello. Hello.

Thank you.

Numata is really good.

We earned 10 million this month.

You're great.

Thank you.

It's all teamwork.

You are a good leader.

Let's keep it up next month.

Thank you.

Bye.

(Letter of Appreciation)

I was happy.

It was like when I was working.

You were afraid she would take away the job you had.

What?

So you killed her.

What are you saying?

Someone knew you were a fraud...

before the police.

You killed Saratoga, didn't you?

What are you saying?

She just wanted a job.

But this job is to become a lackey for a group of scam artists.

Sorry.

She was turning over a new leaf.

She couldn't forgive herself for working with criminals.

So to return the money to the victims,

she took 1.8 million yen from your insurance box.

And she wanted to escape through the balcony.

But you pushed her down.

Am I right?

Do you have proof?

Yes.

Can I take over the interrogation?

Okay.

You know people make mistakes, right?

Yes.

For this case.

I think it's the same thing.

But it's not the case.

You told me.

There was no rain lately.

But on the day of the incident,

you were recorded taking an umbrella with you while leaving the room.

When you came back five minutes later,

the umbrella was gone.

You went out to dump the umbrella.

It was the weapon used to kill Saratoga.

It was broken so I dumped it.

On her body,

there was evidence to prove your crime.

We did not notice it initially.

She fell into the green belt.

The body was badly damaged.

But after careful examination,

we found it.

There was a puncture wound on her waist.

Based on the size and shape of the wound,

it should be caused by an umbrella.

She was leaving through the balcony.

And you pushed her right?

You...

murdered someone.

What are you doing?

I looked into your situation.

I'm returning the money to the owner.

No.

I won't allow you to do this.

It was that woman's fault.

I...

I don't want people to take away my job.

Job?

This is a con.

You took away...

the life of a woman who was working hard...

to survive.

I have a question.

Go ahead.

Can I work in prison?

Yes.

Good then.

But...

You will sleep in a dark cell with many vicious people.

That's not too bad.

I am tired of living alone.

Your mom gave this to you.

She was not a thief.

On the contrary,

she was helping the people being conned.

Trying to get their money back.

So that she can take you back.

She wanted to be a good mother and chose the right path.

(For Saratoga Minoru. Refused to accept)

(Thanks for waiting)

Thanks for waiting.

What do you mean?

Don't you know it? It was Gouenji's line.

Really? I'll remember that.

Okay, Minoru, kick the ball.

(Thanks for waiting)

Minoru.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

We can finally prepare to live together.

I will fetch you on your birthday.

Looking forward to the day to play football together.

Mom.

What?

So tiny.

Don't treat me like a child.

It's so silly.

(Commendation)

I cracked the murder and con case.

And I got a commendation from the district quarters.

What? Are you here to show off?

I may become your superior soon.

You may get fired soon.

What?

The forensics report you showed Numata was fake.

You're finished. Illegal interrogation.

It's not illegal.

The report was blank. I did not fake anything.

As for what Numata thought when he saw the first page,

that was his problem.

The body had internal bleeding.

The forensics team and the medical examiner said...

it could be caused by a pointed object.

But you never found the umbrella.

You are the con.

To find the truth,

we have to use all means necessary.

You finally grew up.

Yes. Thanks to you.

Right.

- Come with me. - What?

Hurry up.

Why did you bring me here?

This is my new hope.

Today is the first show of Big Lucky's brother.

What does it have to do with me?

Yes! Did you see this?

(Leucochloridium Paradoxum Room)

(The manager is requesting to chat with you. Accept or decline)

(Accept)

There is a new case.

A wealthy man was killed at home.

The cause of death is mysterious, recalling that incident.

I have a bad feeling.

Detective Yugami is approaching its climax.

Dead man walking. That's scary.

What is happening with the body?

It is that man.

There's more to this novel.

You strangled him with a cord, didn't you?

Is Yokoshima Fujiro the culprit?
