MIU NO. 4

Another one please.

You opened one recently.

I had two since then.

-He's a frequenter.

-Shima.

Gosh.

Hey

This is my third home.

-Hey

-Third?

First, MIU car;

second, office; third, this place.

-What about home?

-Hey

It's the result

of devoting my life to work.

-Guys, listen!

-What?

Let's continue the talk.

-Talk?

-About the captain and her kid.

-The onion is pungent.

-Hey!

Tell me about her man.

Hey. Listen to me.

What's he like? Which department?

Is he her superior?

-He's not a cop.

-What?

Restaurant owner.

Seriously? What kind?

-Never been there.

-Come on.

I've been there.

-I want to go.

-It's gone.

Come on.

He died in an accident.

Kikyo realized she was pregnant

after he died. She had the baby.

She's raising him alone.

But her child

-Who watches him?

-Someone like her sister.

I wanted to eat at a restaurant

while we watched fish.

You want to eat fish while watching fish?

I'm not eating.

Yutaka. It's dinner time.

-I'm not eating fish.

-There's no fish in the spaghetti.

Did you hear that?

Hamu-chan says so too.

Stop.

-I'm not eating.

-Let's eat.

MPD to all stations

A middle-aged man is screaming.

A man is stuck under the car that crashed

I want to volunteer to be

the father of the captain's son.

It must be hard.

It's harder to be with you.

Plus, she's not looking for a dad.

-You're not in need.

-I guess you're not either.

This isn't about me. What's your problem?

Kids are adorable.

There.

It's a melon bread van.

Stop playing that.

They love it.

What is this music?

Remember the Tiger Mask phenomenon?

-Tiger Mask?

-Yes.

The guy gave out

school bags a few years ago.

He inspired me to give out a few myself.

I bought three and left them

by a foster home.

I left a card that read,

"From Copper Long Legs."

Then I saw the news.

We don't need school bags.

We're getting so many of them.

It's too much.

Gosh

I was so shocked.

I'm shocked that someone I know did that.

Didn't you get the urge to do it?

The news made me realize one thing.

There are so many people

who want to do good.

Who doesn't want to do good?

I'm not sure.

Yet, the world doesn't get better.

Hey.

Why is that?

You need to be all right

mentally and financially to do good.

So, if everyone got rich,

there will be world peace?

-I guess not.

-Come on.

The rich do bad things to make money.

That sucks. Ultimately, people are bad.

As long as money exists,

there will be trouble.

Keep the change and lend me a hand.

Excuse me?

Please. I'm in a hurry.

Yes.

MPD to all stations.

sh**ting incident in Ginza.

Bystander called the police.

Victim and suspects

are heading toward Nakashima.

The site is Ginza Nishi 4-5-2

-A g*ng feud?

-Probably.

MIU 401 heading from Ginza Sakai Street.

No.1 HQ to MIU 404.

This is MIU 404.

The possible victim stopped by

at a pharmacy in your area.

Head there and gather information.

The address is Ginza West 1-3-1.

YAMAGATA PHARMACY

She told me the b*llet

grazed her around here.

So, I did first aid on her.

Then she asked me to sell her

my jacket on the coat rack.

You should go to the hospital.

I'll take a bet.

Although I've never won in my entire life.

I've never seen so much money.

So much money?

Shima.

Can we check the surveillance video?

Thank you.

Oh, excuse me. Please.

Wow

That's easily 100 million.

The 100 million woman.

Who is this woman?

A sh**ting took place

in Ginza West at around 11:30.

The police claim

He suddenly fired two shots.

The other guy yelled at him.

He said, "Don't sh**t."

He shouted at the woman,

"Give me the money back."

COLLECTED FINGERPRIN

SEARCHING

12 MATCHING POINTS

Toko Aoike. One previous conviction.

Arrested for ill*gal gambling

two years ago.

From that incident?

Do you know her?

More than 20 were arrested,

so I never talked to her directly.

ill*gal gambling two years ago?

It made the news.

A billion-yen ill*gal casino

in Ikebukuro got busted.

Bettors included

top firm executives and bureaucrats.

We'll take it from here.

Anti-Organized Crime has a lead

on the Suminoe g*ng's internal strife.

The sh**ting is related to that.

We'll work with Anti-Organized Crime.

-Good work.

-Thanks.

The initial phase is over. It's up to

Anti-Organized Crime and local police now.

That was quick.

I want MIU No.1 surveilling the area.

Understood.

We'll return to the covert op.

Wait.

Aoike was arrested two years ago

but she was also a victim.

That's horrible.

She was a hostess at a club in Ikebukuro.

One night, her client invited her

to the ill*gal casino.

Yes. Yes.

The house lets you win at first.

You'd win 100 to 200 thousand a night.

Gradually, you lose sense of

the amount you're playing with.

By the time you get hooked,

it is too late.

You are knee deep in debt.

Women are forced into brothels.

Aoike also worked at the casino

to repay her debt.

Then

Police. Don't move.

-You won't escape.

-Don't move.

-You there!

-Don't move!

Behind you!

Thanks to extenuating circumstance,

she got one year on probation.

The probation ended last year.

The manager that was arrested

was just a sacrifice.

We couldn't catch the actual owner.

He's commonly known as Etori.

Real name is unknown. No photo.

A self-professed businessman in his 40s.

The portrait is based on the testimony

of the casino informant.

-Etori is involved in this sh**ting?

-Maybe not.

We still don't know

who is responsible for the sh**ting.

It's too early to tie the incident

to the Suminoe g*ng.

I agree.

I'd like to speak with Toko Aoike.

What?

Look at her eyes.

Can't you sense it?

It's like she's looking for a fight.

It's your imagination.

Stop staring at the image.

I mean

she looks like she has a lot to say.

Captain.

Can I interrogate her when we catch her?

Hey.

-If you catch her.

-Yes.

MIU 404 will find her before anyone.

Let's go, Shima.

Captain.

Good luck.

Shima.

Let's go.

Damn it.

Where is she?

Damn it.

Ms. Aoike told me

that she was through with gangsters.

She said it was hard to find a job,

even though she is an accountant.

So, she returned to the underworld?

No.

She was happy when she got hired

by an honest company.

Which company is that?

PC SHOP ACE

She had wads of bills in her suitcase.

Excuse us. Hello.

We're looking for Toko Aoike.

We're from the police.

We have some questions.

PC SHOP ACE

-We were waiting for the police to arrive.

-Really?

We're quite popular here.

Ten minutes after opening

the store this morning

Welcome.

Where's Aoike?

Ms. Aoike?

Hey.

Ms. Aoike?

Where is she?

We don't know.

Let's go.

10,000 YEN

How did you get that?

It's dirty money.

They found me.

Then she waved us goodbye.

Did you know she had

affiliations with gangsters?

No. Not at all.

She kept it low key.

She'd bring homemade

lunches and craft things.

Craft things?

Like those.

This bunny?

Yes.

She made that.

I see.

Why didn't you call the police?

Because the president

We told him what happened when he arrived.

He told us not to call the police.

Then he left.

So, you're competing

against Anti-Organized Crime?

"Competing" isn't the word.

The initial investigation is ongoing.

We wouldn't want to follow the wrong lead.

I wish you would do it discretely.

You're involved in this too, Mr. Abiko.

The woman who got shot

was arrested in the casino bust.

As the head of Anti-Organized Crime,

you led that investigation.

You let Etori get away.

Had we not raided the casino,

they would have moved it elsewhere.

They change whereabouts

like a hermit crab.

We had a deal with the informant.

She gave us the address

in exchange for catching Etori.

The Billion Yen Goddess.

Mugi Hano, was it?

As long as Etori walks,

she will not be free.

So the captain is giving shelter to her?

Yes.

Mugi Hano worked

at a piano bar when she met Etori.

She saw that he was bad news,

so she helped the police.

Thanks for your cooperation.

I couldn't forgive him.

The girls were being treated like animals.

What do you guys want to do?

UNKNOWN CALLER

DID YOU RAT ON US?

I WON'T FORGIVE YOU

YOU'LL BE PUNISHED

Ms. Hano. Are you injured?

You didn't arrest Etori?

The police lied to me?

You promised you'd arrest him.

She's the Billion Yen Goddess

to the police,

but to Etori she is the woman

who stole a billion yen.

There's no witness protection

program here, unlike in the US.

Does a cop need

to give shelter to someone?

No, but it's not prohibited either.

It's Kikyo's way of taking responsibility.

I checked with the airlines

fearing she might flee.

But no ticket was purchased by Toko Aoike.

What?

We were talking about Mugi Hano.

-Oh, about Hamu-chan?

-What?

Hano Mugi, hence Hamu-chan.

That's cute.

You goofball.

The president of Aoike's company:

Katsumi Saeba.

He's avoiding the police.

He knows something.

Could this man be Etori?

The employee said

the portrait doesn't resemble him.

PC Shop Ace?

Sounds familiar.

Anti-Organized Crime must know.

Wait, wait.

What?

People will know that 404 is on the case.

So?

The captain making

inquiries could have ramifications.

I don't care.

-I'll go.

-Oh yeah?

Fine.

Come on, Kokonoe.

Yes.

Captain.

Let me say one thing.

It's unlikely that this case is tied

to the case two years ago.

Toko Aoike was unimportant in the casino.

I doubt she even knew Etori.

Digging deep into this case

won't save Mugi Hano.

It's not just for Hamu-chan.

We cut off a major source of

income for gangsters.

You destroyed a woman's life in doing so?

To save the majority.

We must always choose the majority.

Yet, his strategy didn't save Toko Aoike.

She once again strayed

from the right path.

I'm obliged to find out how that happened.

A do-or-die situation tells

a lot about a person.

The captain and Toko Aoike both have guts.

Right, bunny?

Why is that here?

The lady said I could take it.

You shouldn't have.

Rabbits fend off hungry wolves

with their strong kick.

I saw it on the Animal Channel.

A life-and-death situation brings out

the true nature of a person.

It's hard to encounter

such a moment in Japan today.

For Toko Aoike, that rare moment is now.

What's on her mind

and where is she headed?

GIRLS

A hideout of the Suminoe g*ng here?

Yes.

Look over there.

Just like that?

Hello. Hello.

They're Anti-Organized Crime.

Anything unusual?

Not much going on.

I see.

I'd like to ask you something.

This is the place.

Any info on PC Shop Ace

on Yuyu Street in Nakaginza.

Our boss wouldn't want us

to comment on that.

He doesn't get along with your boss.

Come on. I won't say I got it from you.

Okay. I'll ask Division 2.

We checked all the mobiles

we confiscated in the past.

Many of them had SIM cards

that were rented from this PC shop.

The shop itself

might have been taken over.

Take-over?

The Organized Crime Exclusion Act

makes it hard to rent phones

for criminal use.

But if you buy the whole shop

It'd be easy.

Can't buy a house? Buy a real estate firm.

Want a system? Buy an IT company.

Gangsters are becoming

increasingly sophisticated.

Hello, hello. Excuse me.

-Mameji?

-Hey, working hard?

Can I help you?

Just passing by.

-This is a gift.

-Thank you.

Here to monitor us?

Anti-Organized Crime Director

Yamazaki is barking at me,

claiming that we're on equal grounds.

He was bullying me

on the phone like a gangster.

Excuse me.

What's the situation?

The PC shop where Aoike

worked seems normal,

but is actually a front company

or an affiliate of a g*ng.

I received this from Division 2.

Ace was on the list of shady accounts

reported by Tokyo Sakura Bank.

There've been dubious deposits

and withdrawals made regularly.

Is the account being used

for money laundering?

Yes. Aoike has been transferring

part of the money to her bank account.

God, I'm bored. Shima, I'm bored.

Hey

Wait. That's Saeba.

He matches the description

given by the employee.

-I'm going.

-Wait, wait.

Toko Aoike was embezzling

from her company.

She's been withdrawing

a million yen every day.

The total as of yesterday is 100 million.

The money in the suitcase?

Gangs can't report it to the police,

hence she won't get caught.

That might be her idea.

Clever. I want to meet her even more now.

-I've got a question.

-Hey.

What will you ask him?

Where Toko Aoike is.

I'm going to be frank.

You think a gangster

will give you a straight answer?

-Never know.

-Had he known, he'd already be there.

Is it really Aoike?

Where to?

Our lack of success is due

to the name "Entire Melon Bread."

-The name!

-Oh.

You don't get it. The name is great

Yes, sir. I'm on my way.

It's not juicy enough.

-Juiciness is what matters.

-So, you get it.

See how effective that was?

You didn't ask him anything.

Stop bragging when we just overheard him.

MIU 404 to No.1 HQ.

Saeba found out where Aoike is.

He's leaving now.

We're following him. Over.

Go, go.

Chief! Gate Air Airline contacted us.

A ticket was purchased

under the name Toko Aoike.

The flight leaves Haneda

at 19:20 p.m. for Thailand.

Welcome.

Welcome.

Welcome. Let me take that

No thanks.

No.1 HQ to all vehicles.

Aoike is going to Haneda Airport.

Search nearby routes and

bus stops that lead to the airport.

Hurry up!

Mr. Jinba.

From MIU 401 to No.1 HQ.

Suminoe gangsters are leaving.

We'll follow them

with Anti-Organized Crime.

They got moving at once.

Gangsters, No.1 MIU and us.

Who will get to

the 100 million yen and Aoike-chan?

How exciting.

MIU 404 to No.1 HQ.

We're getting on the freeway.

Saeba is also going to Haneda. Over.

Roger.

Anti-Organized Crime is still at Shibaura.

Suminoe must not get there first.

A shootout at the airport

would be a disaster.

Captain. Aoike is on the video

that we got from the bus terminal.

She got on a bus that left at 16:50 p.m.

No.1 HQ to all vehicles.

Aoike is riding a bus.

License plate, Shinagawa 200, Shi-2 38.

Mr. Taniyama.

Tell the driver to get off the freeway.

Actually

Where could he get off?

-There's one

-Shut up.

Here. It's the last exit before Haneda.

There's one more thing.

-What?

-This guy's also on the bus.

Who is that?

The guy who shot Aoike.

We have confirmation.

It's a different story if he is aboard.

He could get agitated

when they get off the freeway.

We can't have a shootout in the airport.

A sh**ting on the bus would be better.

Civilians are on this bus.

If he has a Tokarev, he's used

two b*ll*ts, so there's six left.

There will be six victims

in the worst case.

If a shootout erupts

with the Suminoe g*ng,

dozens of b*ll*ts will be shot.

Hundreds of people are there.

It could become an international issue.

It will be a mess.

The majority again?

Then

what do you propose?

The bus arrives at the exit

in three minutes.

We've no time to hesitate.

MIU 404 to No.1 HQ.

We caught up to the bus. Over.

MIU 404. The bus

will get off at the next exit.

Tell the driver to get off at the exit.

There's a g*nman on board. He shot Aoike.

Arrest him before he notices you.

How do we do that?

We'll just have to.

All right. I like a challenge.

Put on your vest.

Okay. Roger Hargreaves.

You only say that

when you haven't understood.

Why are you getting off the freeway?

Sorry. I'm having engine issues.

Engine issues?

What's going on?

We need to make a brief stop

to check the engine.

I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.

Please stay seated.

Hello. I'm here to repair the engine.

Please stay seated.

I'll examine the bus.

Sir in the back, please.

We're sorry for the inconvenience.

I'm ready.

Roger.

Melon, melon, an entire melon

Police.

There.

Now, I cuff the perp

Complete.

Behind you, Ibuki.

Huh?

Get down. Get down.

Punk.

Shut your mouth.

Shima.

Let's get him out.

He shot at me.

I'm going to give him a beating

when he wakes up.

Hands in the air.

I'm going to give him a beating

when he wakes up.

Hands in the air.

You too.

You want to die? Hands up!

sh**t, and the discharge

would k*ll us both.

You'll just lose your hand.

I'm a cop. I know more

about g*ns than you do.

You're lying.

sh**t, then.

It's fine with me.

Huh?

Take him away.

That hurts!

Let go of me.

Hey.

I'm talking to you.

Is this a game to you?

An accidental discharge?

-I know.

-You want to die?

Huh?

What took you so long to save me?

Let go of me.

You want to talk to Aoike, right?

Hello. Police.

You're safe now.

Please take a seat. You're safe now.

Please sit down.

Ms. Aoike.

-Ms. Aoike. Do you hear me?

-Aoike? Aoike?

-No pulse.

-That can't be. It's not too late. Aoike.

Aoike

Make way. Coming through.

Aoike.

Kokonoe. Get an ambulance.

Yes.

Aoike.

Wake up.

There's a lot we need to talk about.

Hey, Aoike.

Aoike.

Aoike.

Let's talk.

Okay?

Aoike.

The 100 million disappeared.

They still haven't examined the body.

The coroner says it's most likely

the b*llet wound that k*lled her.

And who did we catch?

The guys that shot and went after

her were Suminoe members.

No relation with Etori or the Tatsui g*ng.

Let's leave Etori aside.

It was Aoike's embezzlement

that caused this incident,

not an internal strife.

Good job, guys.

Anti-Organized Crime should thank us.

Anyway, where's the money?

When and where did it vanish?

Here's what we know so far.

Aoike packed her 100 million

and took off around 11:00 a.m.

The two Suminoe gunmen

shot her in the alley.

Don't sh**t her here.

Damn it. Give us the money.

She does first aid at the pharmacy.

The money was last seen here.

We found blood at multiple points.

We're still analyzing them,

but they should all be hers.

At 16:05 p.m., she buys a ticket

to Thailand from her phone.

Then she gets on the bus.

Her suitcase must have

been empty by this point.

Between the pharmacy and the bus terminal.

Sometime during the four hours,

she handed the money to someone,

or hid it somewhere.

Come in.

The Identification Section

gave me her mobile data.

USER NAME

WATASHI-SAN

Tbutter?

-Is this Aoike's?

-Yes.

Today's tweets on page one.

The rest are tweets

that seem relevant to this case.

I can't help but laugh.

I find myself working

for gangsters once again.

Just when I thought

I could finally live a normal life.

Everybody thinks it's an ordinary store.

I would have too,

had it not been for my past.

Hey.

My boss takes me for a fool.

He asks me

to make deposits and withdrawals.

Huge amounts flow in and out every month.

From A to B. From B to C.

Dirty money turns into clean money.

Laundering.

Even if I notify the police,

they won't find me a new job.

I don't want to go back to the brothel.

The politicians

and bureaucrats receive bribes.

But they don't get indicted.

I don't get the world of the rich.

My monthly net income is 140 thousand.

LOL.

I've understood the laundering scheme.

I can do this.

WITHDRAWAL COMPLETE

Nobody's noticing it.

This is getting fun.

Once again, I've become completely filthy.

It's filthy money anyway.

Filthy money for filthy people.

Where should I go

when my drawer gets full?

Where could I live a clean life?

I'll take a bet.

Although I've never won in my entire life.

Melon juice?

You guys made me want to drink it.

I see.

I saved her two years ago.

I put Mugi Hano in danger in doing so.

Yet, Hamu-chan is still a bird in a cage.

And Aoike died

without asking anyone for help.

Toko Aoike's last tweet

It's her grievance against the police.

"My first and last."

"I will help you."

"You can be free."

"That's a lie."

"Unable to escape. Helpless."

"A weak small girl."

"Says who?"

"My life is worthless."

"It looks like I'm going to die."

The last thing she saw

in this world was despair.

We're always late.

Well

I didn't mean to complain.

Hey. What are you doing here?

Don't sneak up on us.

I tried

to be considerate.

Were you really being considerate?

It didn't seem necessary.

It was one of those moments.

What moment would that be?

Hey.

How was Aoike going

to take the money with her?

You can't go abroad with a load of cash.

She didn't even have

a foreign currency deposit.

She must have come up with some way.

Oh, yes. I almost forgot.

Mr. Itomaki retrieved

something from Aoike's mobile.

She would visit this jewelry store.

One, ten, hundred, thousand

Holy moly.

Ms. Aoike? She's been here many times.

Many times?

She said she was getting an inheritance.

She bought two stones of the same size.

She bought them today.

100 million in total.

The money she paid was dirty.

I received cash

without any knowledge of that.

As far as the contract goes,

the transaction is legal.

-It is?

-In legal terms, yes.

Now, I understand.

She laundered dirty money.

She did it by buying these beautiful gems.

For her bunny's eyes.

What? Eyes?

She pressed the gems into a bunny.

Like this?

Yes, but a bigger one.

Is this it?

Hey, look.

Easy does it.

She probably practiced on that.

Her plan was to hide the gems

in a stuffed animal.

All right.

Mission: Find the 100-million-yen bunny.

Sensing she wouldn't get away alive,

she got rid of it.

Maybe in Kanda River?

100 million into a river?

To keep it from the police

and gangsters? She might.

I don't get it.

I sense Aoike-chan's bursting anger

Stop talking vaguely.

Who did Toko Aoike help?

What?

Help who?

What?

Her last tweet says, "I will help."

Understand the context.

"I will help you.

You can be free. That's a lie."

The police didn't help her

when they said they would.

Words of reproach.

You need to study

the subtleties of the heart.

I really don't understand the text.

How is this a grudge?

"Helpless. That's a lie.

I will help you. My first and last"

Mr. Kokonoe.

What the?

-It's the other way.

-What?

How we're reading them.

Tbutter's tweets get updated at the top.

So, the right order starts

from "I'm going to die,"

"My life is worthless."

"Says who?"

"A weak small girl."

"Unable to escape.

Helpless. That's a lie."

"We can be free. I will help you."

"My first and last."

Who did Toko Aoike help?

You're the man, Kokonoe.

What? Stop it.

Who did she help?

The weak small girl, isn't it?

"Unable to escape. Helpless."

I saw that.

-You saw it?

-I saw it.

I saw it.

UNABLE TO ESCAPE

HELPLESS YOUNG GIRLS

UNABLE TO ESCAPE

HELPLESS YOUNG GIRLS

SAVE THESE GIRLS WHO CANNOT ESCAPE

This afternoon?

Yes. We received a call.

She asked for the address

of the headquarters in the UK.

The package is addressed

to Girls International.

Sender is Toko Aoike or another name.

Oh, yes. I remember well.

She seemed very enthusiastic and happy.

She certainly was excited.

It's cute.

I made it. It's very valuable.

They must recognize its value,

so I'll indicate that fact.

I never had the money to make a donation.

So, this is my first and last. Please.

When will it be shipped?

The truck is leaving soon,

so it'll make the 19:00 p.m. flight.

I just need to flee until 19:00 p.m.

Thank you very much.

It looks like I'm going to die.

My life is worthless.

Says who?

A weak small girl.

Unable to escape. Helpless.

That's not true.

You can be free.

I will help you.

My first

and last.
