Original subtitles

Yumi had enticed Tatsuyuki Kawamoto to an airport hotel

and orchestrated a jewelry heist.

Little did Yumi know the predicament

that awaited Hiromi Ozawa

because of this heinous crime.

Yumi, isn't it time we get started?

Slow your roll. We're not moving until midnight, no earlier.

We've still got 10 minutes left.

I wonder where that Tsutsumi bastard is right now.

Yumi, it's crazy to think of Mr. Tsutsumi at a time like this.

When I thought about his crying face,

I suddenly got amused.

Yumi, it's not too late to withdraw.

You sure you don't wanna rethink this?

Ryoko, villains don't feel regret. We kick off in 10 minutes.

Do you think Yumi really plans

to travel abroad with Mr. Kawamoto?

Not likely.

My concern now is Yumi's intentions with Mr. Kawamoto.

Mr. Tsutsumi, quick, we must inform

Mr. Kawamoto before Yumi acts.

I know.

It's 12:05.

She's late.

-Tatsuro! -Where's Yumi?

Looks like Yumi's not here yet, old man.

Tatsuro, don't do anything stupid! Just hear me out.

Look, I realize I should've discussed Yumi with you.

What is there to discuss!?

Pops, I already said I'm putting my life on the line for Yumi.

Would you do the same!?

-Life? -Tell me.

Will you risk your life for love!?

-Tatsuro, wait! -Say it!

Risk your life for love, and I'll see you as a man!

-Fight me! -Tatsuro.

I see where you're coming from.

I had my doubts

about Yumi's suitability as your love interest.

But that wasn't all.

Frankly speaking,

I've found myself drawn to Yumi too.

But if you're so determined about her, then fine.

I'll step back from Yumi.

Step back? Screw that noise! You're being a sleazeball!

If you're so crazy about her, man up and challenge me for her!

You deceitful… filthy liar!

Knock it off, Tatsuro!

-Tatsuro! -Tatsuro!

-Don't get in my way! -You fool!

-Dammit… -Get a hold of yourself!

Dammit!

Mr. Kawamoto, I need to talk to you.

How'd you know to find me here?

I don't have time to explain.

Kaoru, when I signal you, head outside and make the call.

Afterward, vanish and await my contact.

Got it?

The jewelry's in the safe.

Dumbass, don't go sprinting over!

The place's rigged with invisible infrared alarms,

invisible to the naked eye.

Ryoko.

Yumi, where's Kaoru?

I sent her to scope the outside. She'll be back in a bit.

We've got plenty of the stuff. Isn't it time to pull out?

If we're doing it, might as well go all in.

Boss, there's nothing to fear now.

-I'll give you the bag when it's full. -Got it.

Ryoko. Sumio, and Rui are scheming to betray us.

They're eyeing all the jewels for themselves.

What'd you say!?

I can see through your mind like it's an open book.

-Sumio, we better… -Silence!

Now's not the time for squabbles.

I won't let them cheat me, so don't sweat it.

I'll sort them out later.

Now shut up and focus on your job!

Yumi, where do you think you're going?

Yumi!

Good luck!

Yumi! Yumi!

-Yumi! -Boss! Yumi and Kaoru betrayed us.

Damn it! Those bitches were setting us up from the start!

There's no way! Yumi would never betray me!

Then why did she lock the door?

Boss, we've walked right into their damn trap!

Tear the shutters off so we can get out.

Dammit! We'll have to take out these cops

and make a break for it!

Yumi, why? Why'd you turn your back on me!?

The ancient Roman god Janus was said to be able to see

both the inside and outside of things at the same time.

This story is a grand romance about a girl whose other heart

was peered into by Janus.

You're saying Yumi is Hiromi Ozawa!? That's ridiculous!

There's still a bigger issue at hand.

It's a critical matter concerning your fate.

My fate?

Now, I need you to calm down and listen closely.

That's ridiculous.

Yumi Onuma and Hiromi Ozawa are the same person?

I just don't buy it.

It's a fact, Mr. Kawamoto.

Yumi Onuma is a persona born

from Hiromi Ozawa's suppressed dreams.

Ozawa yearns for your paternal love,

while Yumi seeks revenge for your abandonment

of Yukiko and Hiromi.

Mr. Tsutsumi, this theory of yours is rather extreme.

Yumi and I had very enjoyable conversations.

Of course, we never let things go too far,

but I sensed a romantic atmosphere with Yumi,

like being in a dream world,

and I believe Yumi felt the same.

The idea of her planning revenge against me is absurd.

Mr. Kawamoto, remember when you took

that tumble down the apartment stairs?

Do you still think it was accidental?

What else could it have been? Dizziness overcame me.

It wasn't due to dizziness.

Yumi purposely mistimed her Aikido move to make you fall.

Mr. Kawamoto, you should've sensed her hidden animosity then.

Mr. Tsutsumi, girls can display puzzling hostility,

casually break promises, and agitate adults.

Even if I were to believe that

Yumi Onuma and Hiromi Ozawa are one and the same,

my feelings towards Hiromi would remain unaffected.

Mr. Kawamoto, how much further do you plan to push this?

If you hadn't abandoned Yukiko 18 years ago,

Yumi Onuma wouldn't even exist.

If you had acknowledged your role as Ozawa's parent,

Yumi wouldn't have crossed your path.

Pops, tell me straight, is Hiromi Ozawa really my sister?

And is she your daughter!?

It's a lie! It's pure hogwash!

Mr. Kawamoto, I know all about you

and Yukiko, and that's why I'm here.

Are you still going to stick to your lies?

Answer me, Pops! I wanna hear the truth!

Did I fall for my own sister!?

No, you mustn't believe all these lies!

Yumi Onuma and Hiromi Ozawa aren't the same person!

Hiromi Ozawa isn't my daughter.

Are you gonna keep denying everything?

How do you even live with yourself like that!?

Pops, talk. Just talk!

I'm begging you, just tell me! Why are you staying silent!?

Tell me!

I wanna hear the truth!

It's me.

What did you say!? That's impossible!

Ryoko, anyone who's all about sticking to the rules

can just screw off from this city!

I'm about to unleash the dreams trapped in these diamonds.

C'mon, guys, break free from these diamonds

and fly wherever your heart desires.

You, fly as a shooting star.

And you, return to the sea.

Return to the mountains.

We share the same dreams. Everyone shall be free!

The culprits used the secret passage.

What!?

Only you and I knew about it. How did they find out?

And where did they get the key!?

Chief, we found a large number of jewels

scattered around Ginza 3-chome.

One of the thieves probably dropped them accidentally.

-I've called for backup. -Got it.

Enough games, tell us the truth!

I want names!

The police interrogation hit with such force that even

the top brass of the Yajuu Clan felt the tremors.

The girls admitted Yumi Onuma was the ringleader,

yet none could provide her location or a way to contact her.

Only Ryoko Azuma remained tight-lipped.

Quit stalling! We've got you and Yumi Onuma pinned for the job!

We'll gather witnesses!

Azuma, word is you got backstabbed

by VP Kaoru Saito and Yumi Onuma.

What's your move against rats like them!?

Inspector Shindo, from Roppongi South Precinct,

following Tokyo MPD's orders,

began investigating the Yajuu Clan at night.

Hold it right there!

Hey! Get back here!

-We didn't do anything! -Come!

Let go of me!

Damn. Yumi knew right what she was doing

when she dragged us into this!

Inspector Shindo, the lower-ranking members were not informed

about this incident.

What do we know about Yumi Onuma?

About that, no one seems to know Yumi's identity.

The HQ's ID division

hasn't found any fingerprints believed to be hers.

Mizunuma, remember the incident with Mr. Kawamoto

falling down the apartment stairs?

Yes, I remember.

He testified that Yumi Onuma was with him.

Now, with this new case, it seems Yumi

might have a vendetta against him.

Yet, despite numerous witnesses, her details remain unknown.

I'm very sorry.

Actually, I've met Yumi Onuma a few times myself.

What? So that means you'd be able to identify her.

Certainly.

I also want to see Yumi Onuma's face by any means necessary.

How about it?

Wouldn't you prefer to go back to your own bed,

getting some shut-eye?

If you cooperate, we can have you back home by dawn.

I keep telling you guys I don't know squat!

Any information on Yumi Onuma would suffice.

I'll get pounded if I rat out my mates to the pigs.

That's the Yajuu Clan's code.

You're a brave one, aren't you?

Fine, don't say a word.

Let's see how well you fare playing by their rules.

Wait a minute, Inspector!

We don't know a thing about Yumi's identity!

At first, I pegged her as Hiromi Ozawa

from Midorigaoka High School.

Their looks and build kinda matched.

Mr. Endo and his crew agreed. But they're not the same.

When I really looked at her,

I got the feeling that she's someone else.

It's really strange.

Hiromi Ozawa?

Yumi, you got some serious guts to double-cross me.

I'll make you regret it. You can count on it.

Save me, Mr. Tsutsumi!

Save me!

Mr. Tsutsumi!

Hiromi, you were in this room the whole time, right?

I just woke up. I was asleep the whole time.

That's all right, then.

Is something wrong?

Actually, Hiromi, Tetsuya's father,

he's the inspector at Roppongi South Precinct.

He dropped by to have a word with you.

Me?

What's the cause for this early morning interrogation

of my granddaughter Hiromi?

As I've explained to you before,

I only wish to inquire about a specific individual.

Miss, did you go anywhere last night?

Hiromi was with us all of last night.

She did not leave the premises.

Hiromi is not the type to venture out without our consent.

Fair enough. Now, Miss,

do you happen to know a woman named Yumi Onuma?

You know her, right?

No, I don't…

You don't?

This is preposterous. Is this regarding Yumi Onuma again?

Those with loose lips are fueling baseless rumors,

insinuating a connection between

Hiromi and Yumi Onuma to defame her.

There's no chance that the heiress

of the Ozawa family and Yumi are linked.

I personally encountered Yumi Onuma and verified it firsthand.

I have no further comments. Vacate the premises immediately.

Very well, we'll be outta your hair.

What do you think?

She looked like a different person to me.

-You sure about that? -What's on your mind?

The way the grandmother reacted

to Yumi Onuma's name was peculiar.

That family might be concealing a significant secret.

Mizunuma, keep a vigilant watch over Hiromi Ozawa.

Yes, sir.

Regardless of his son's rejection,

there are limits to seeking revenge.

In an overnight robbery at Ginza's Kita jewelry store,

a delinquent group, the Yajuu Clan,

led by the group's president, 18, saw five executives arrested.

However, Yumi Onuma, age unknown,

and VP Kaoru Saito, 20,

vanished with the loot.

A search is underway.

Yumi went after Mr. Kawamoto's store…

So that's why the police came here asking questions.

Kazuki, Midori,

are you sure that you didn't sleep at all last night?

The truth is…

Before we knew it, we fell asleep…

What!? So, you weren't keeping an eye on Hiromi!?

-I'm terribly sorry. -So sorry.

Yumi robbed Dad's store.

What was I up to yesterday?

Was I really here the whole time?

Did I even sleep in my own bed?

Why is my memory blanking out on me?

Yumi took off with the jewelry.

If I'm holding onto it, that means that I am Yumi Onuma!

Grandma…

What were you doing?

Just looking for something.

Um, is it true that you met Yumi Onuma?

Yes, I did.

She's a terrible delinquent and bears no resemblance to you.

Hiromi, disregard any rumors.

Attend school with pride and confidence.

Yes, ma'am.

If anyone dares to speak ill of you, inform me.

I'll personally ensure they face consequences at the school.

You can always rely on my protection.

Yes, ma'am.

Additionally, stolen jewels were found

strewn across Ginza 3-chome Street,

thanks to a taxi driver's report.

Despite the officer's recovery efforts,

five billion yen worth of gems are still unaccounted for,

prompting authorities to pursue Yumi Onuma,

the suspected mastermind.

Yumi Onuma is a jewelry thief!?

Welcome home, Dad.

I saw the news, you've been busy.

-I'll lie down for a couple of hours. -Aren't you hungry?

-It can wait. -I'll have it ready later then.

Tetsuya, I'm always grateful for your support.

Losing a wife is tough on both angels and sons.

-I gotta head to school. -Tetsuya…

What's going on with you and Hiromi Ozawa?

-What do you mean? -I suggest you steer clear of her.

Dad, what are you talking about?

It's for your own good, do you understand?

Dad's trying to associate Yumi Onuma with Ozawa.

Don't worry, Ozawa. I have your work.

DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES, WE'RE CLOSED TODAY

All's restored except the 500 million yen jewelry still missing.

Tatsuro and I had a rough time at the station.

Don't we get a break?

Dear, I heard you were at the airport hotel.

Were you with Hiromi Ozawa or Yumi Onuma?

I was tired from work and went to relax by myself.

-Tatsuro, do you know anything? -I don't know.

Hiromi Ozawa, and Yumi Onuma, they're one and the same.

Hey, dear, while evaluating the jewels, a thought struck me.

-Could it be that they're one person? -What!?

It all falls into place when you view it that way.

How so?

Wasn't yesterday's heist a collaboration

between you and Hiromi Ozawa?

Aiming to kickstart a family venture?

Would you stop this foolishness?

Then explain how Yumi Onuma

was privy to the hidden passage known only to us.

Hiromi Ozawa is your secret child, isn't she!?

I've already told you that she's a mere stranger to me.

Are you really telling the truth, dear?

I've had it! I'm outta your lives for good this time!

From now on, you're not my dad, and you're not my mom either.

You're just strangers to me now!

Tatsuro!

You fools!

Go and trim your hair by tomorrow!

Or you'll be sporting a monk-style buzz cut, got it!?

With Mr. Tsutsumi gone, corporal punishment has skyrocketed.

The calm we had is gone, now we're living in that guy's world.

We used to joke about Mr. Tsutsumi being weak,

but things have gotten unsettling.

You understand!?

-Yes, sir. -Now, run along.

Sorry to bother you, but I'd like to ask you a few questions.

-What is it? -Well, the thing is…

Guys, the cops are sniffing around about the jewelry theft!

They're grilling everyone about Ozawa.

Hiromi, you don't gotta worry.

You weren't involved in last night's incident.

If you were Yumi Onuma,

you'd be long gone with all the jewels by now.

We've got your back, Hiromi.

Besides, we're not your only strong allies in this.

Have you seen Mr. Tsutsumi lately?

You dolt, didn't he leave the school just so he could

spend time with you whenever he wanted?

You need to be more assertive.

What do you mean by assertive?

She's incredible. Call him and ask him out on a date.

A date?

I'm sure Mr. Tsutsumi is itching to see you as well.

Tatsuro.

Tatsuro, why are you crying?

You…

You found out about me and your father, didn't you?

Tatsuro…

I really need to see you, Ozawa. Please, call me.

Tatsuro.

Teach!

I can't accept the fact that Yumi is my sister!

I hate it…

I can't even begin to accept it! It's just not possible.

Not in a million years!

-Tatsuro… -Teach,

you've been there for us because Yumi and I are siblings.

I get that,

but I've dedicated my life to my love for Yumi!

What the heck am I supposed to do!?

How about going on a trip for a while?

I'd like to go to meet my end in the snowy mountains.

That sounds like a good idea.

No, I can't do it!

I won't give up on Yumi!

Not even in death!

Have a nice life, Teach. I'm outta here.

Where are you going?

I'm heading into town to search for Yumi.

I'll keep searching until my last breath!

Tatsuro!

Tatsuro, come by anytime! I'll be waiting for you!

Ozawa? Is that you, Ozawa!?

Mr. Tsutsumi, it's Hiromi.

I want to see you. I'm in the outer garden of the shrine.

Got it, I'll be right there!

You're Mr. Tsutsumi, aren't you?

I'm Shindo from the Roppongi South Precinct.

How do you do? Can I help you with something?

I'm in a hurry. Can you make it quick?

-Do you have an appointment? -I do.

Is it with Hiromi Ozawa, or with Yumi Onuma?

I don't have to answer that.

I heard that you are very close to Yumi Onuma.

No, we're not close at all.

Yumi Onuma is a person who rejects the kindness of others.

I'd like to know more about that,

if you don't mind coming along.

I said that I have an appointment with someone.

Can we make it later?

Mind if we tag along as we chat about it?

-I'm sorry, I really must go. -Just one question, Mr. Tsutsumi.

Yes?

Someone claimed that Yumi Onuma and Hiromi Ozawa are the same.

I'd like insight from the teacher who knows them well.

I firmly believe that Yumi Onuma and Hiromi Ozawa are distinct.

If you're lying, you could face charges for aiding a criminal.

I just told you what I believe. Now, excuse me.

Ozawa.

-Don't move and just listen. -Shindo!

You're being pursued by a suspicious group.

It's not safe here.

I'll help you. Follow my lead.

But I'm…

I can contact Mr. Tsutsumi and arrange a meeting later.

Who knows what that bunch might do. Just do as I say.

-Okay. -There's a brick building to your right.

Proceed cautiously toward it, then dart around the corner.

-I'll be waiting in the alley ahead. -All right.

Excuse me, please!

Ozawa, this way!

Ozawa, where are you?

Ozawa, you're going to lay low here for a while.

I'll wait for those guys to clear out, then come back for you.

Shindo, where are we?

This workshop belonged to a painter acquaintance of mine.

He's off in France now, so it's free for me to use.

It's safe. I'm sure you'll find it peaceful.

Ozawa, I apologize for the trouble my father caused you.

It comes with his occupation, so please understand. Bye.

Wait…

Shindo? Shindo!

Shindo?

What was Tetsuya Shindo aiming for when he confined Hiromi

within that workshop?

At that time, Hiromi had total faith in Tetsuya's benevolent motives.

Little did she know, it masked a dark adolescent malevolence.
