Where is the ten billion?
What?
Machi will try to steal it to prevent any more casualties.
Machi!
Thank you for becoming my family.
Machi?
Machi. Hey!
Machi!
It was Ichika who stole it.
She took my family hostage.
Capture Ichika.
I can kill her, right?
Now, that's a good expression.
I just got the GPS data for the car Ichika is driving.
She is probably going home.
Hey! What are you doing?
That's dangerous!
It's apartment 1003. You take the elevator.
Expect her to act desperate.
I'll check outside. She can't have gone far.
Get down.
Give me one day.
Let me go.
That's pretty selfish of you.
I want to hand the money to Ayaka.
You expect me to believe the person who killed Natsumi?
How naive.
You won't survive long like that after I'm gone.
Where's Ichika?
She got away.
Why did you save her?
Mr. Fuyuhashi!
Did you get her?
You sold me out to Gouroku.
I'm sorry.
But you can't defy Mr. Gouroku either.
I'm sad about Machi dying too.
I'm just as angry as you.
Put a bounty on her head.
Use the illegal gig workers and everyone else we have.
HIGH-PAYING GIG OFFER
PRIZE: ONE MILLION YEN
I finished moving the goods.
I'll leave their supervision up to you, Mr. Kaieda.
I had clueless part-timers transport them,
so the only people who know the goods are here are the two of us.
No one would think we would hide them in an office that just got raided.
I appreciate your prudence.
I assume we'll want to explain the situation to Chairman Ma.
Shall I arrange a meeting today?
Can you wait on that?
Keep the fact that we found the goods top secret even within the organization.
Understood.
You've gotten a lot better at this.
What's wrong?
I wonder if Dad is okay.
He'll come back, right?
Yes, he will.
He'll never give up.
The Hayase family is nothing if not persistent.
Oh, it's Mr. Gidou.
What's up?
Don't you have to head to school?
Crap.
Takumi, your cooking class clothes!
Oh, thank you.
Stay safe.
-I'm off! -Take care.
Excuse me.
You know Ichika Kougo, right?
Yes.
What about her?
This store used to have a shortcake, I believe.
The Hayase Shortcake?
Yes.
Did you teach her?
Sorry?
Did you teach Ichika how to make the Hayase Shortcake?
It's not something I can teach even if I wanted to.
Thank you.
TO AYAKA
Fuyuhashi? Don't get in my way.
We're watching her sister.
You go check elsewhere.
Her sister knows me. I'll ask if she's been in contact.
You'll have to wear a wiretap.
MACHI CHIAKI MAIHAMA
Machi was tracking Ichika's activities.
It could help us learn where she is.
Do you know her password?
Yes.
Then please.
AYAKA KOUGO
Mr. Gidou?
Hello.
I feel so much better now.
I'm sorry.
I wanted to ask about your sister.
Can you talk for a bit? You can stop if it's too hard.
Okay.
Do you know when your sister got her accountant certification?
About three years ago.
What did she do before that?
I don't know.
Figures.
Because of my condition, she studied while working at an accounting firm.
She worked part-time at a hostess bar at night.
Wait, was that supposed to be a secret?
You could just ask her yourself.
Sorry. It's kind of hard to ask after all this time.
Yes?
Hello? Ayaka?
Ichika?
In a little while,
a lawyer named Matoba from a law firm called L2 Partners will come visit you.
You can trust him, so do as he says.
What's going on?
Ayaka, live no matter what happens.
Ichika?
Did something happen to her?
You don't have to worry about a thing.
I'll come again.
Mr. Gidou!
Please look after her.
Make everyone in this area look for Ichika.
Roger.
PROVIDING EXTRA INFORMATION
If anything were to happen to you,
the key to the safe-deposit box will be handed over to your sister.
Your assets and life insurance payout will also go to her.
And if the costs can be covered,
your sister will be taken to the US for a transplant surgery.
In that event, a lawyer from our firm will take a fee from the inheritance,
and take care of your sister's needs until she is discharged from the hospital.
Does that sound acceptable?
Yes.
Don't move.
That's a million. I'm getting a million.
The hell are you doing?
The bounty is mine.
-I caught her! -I took the picture first.
Police!
What the hell are you doing?!
The Hayase Shortcake!
In your fridge!
I saw the Hayase Shortcake.
It used all the same ingredients.
But Mom said she didn't teach you.
Only one person could have made it.
Are you…
Natsumi?
What kind of nonsense is that?
You can't tell me, right?
Did they threaten Takumi?
What are you, an idiot?
I'll save you.
I'll save you, Takumi, and Mom. All of you.
So tell me the truth.
I've heard enough.
If you want to return to your family, stay away from me.
What's your problem?
Fuyuhashi.
Don't kill Ichika yet.
She might be Natsumi.
What?
She must have done a reboot.
Got any proof?
None. But I'm certain of it.
You owe a lot to Natsumi, don't you?
Machi told me so.
Get your shit together.
I don't care who she is.
Do you think Natsumi would kill Machi?
Someone must have ordered her to--
Enough already!
If you help Ichika because of your delusions,
I'll bury you.
Detective? What's up? I couldn't reach you.
Teramoto, I want you and Adachi to go somewhere.
Mikami here.
Charge your phone, man. We have an update on the Natsumi Hayase case.
Excuse me?
I checked the camera footage
around the cosmetic surgery clinic from yesterday.
I found a man resembling Riku Hayase
in the footage from October 31 of last year.
It's right after he absconded.
There is a high chance he got plastic surgery here.
Adachi, can you hear me?
That's big news. You did great.
Thank you very much.
This is Gidou.
The ten billion in goods have been found.
What about Gouroku?
Chasing Ichika Kougo, who stole it.
Just as you wanted then.
You'll soon get revenge for your wife.
Not quite.
Ichika might be my wife.
You can get CIRO to take action, right?
I need you to have them find Ichika's location.
You're asking for a lot.
It's not that trivial a matter to make a request of CIRO.
I'm sure you desperately want information on the organization's treasurer too.
You've learned a dirty way to negotiate.
If we save her, it will help in catching the whale too.
I'll leave it to you.
No luck. They lost sight of her.
She should know she can't run forever.
Where would she go in the end?
Maybe the hospital her sister is at?
Aoi, found anything?
Machi really was looking into a woman named Ichika.
I found some GPS tracking data.
I'll send it to you.
Looks like it's mostly her office and the hospital her sister is at.
No.
She also went here often.
It's the Hayase Patisserie.
Wait up! Why would Ichika go there?
I'm with the police.
Excuse me!
You can't just barge in!
You've got a scary look on your face.
Have you done reboots other than mine?
Who knows?
Ichika Kougo.
Did you help reboot her too?
I don't do it just for the money.
I support
people who want to leave behind their past and live a new life.
Every new life that my hands help create
is precious to me, as though my own child.
I will never do anything to hinder their new lives.
Dr. Kuwahara.
Ichika's life is in danger right now.
There is no time. Tell me.
Ichika did a reboot, didn't she?
I have nothing to tell you.
Then I'll arrest you.
Can you?
I brought my subordinates.
They'll soon have proof that I got surgery here.
Want to take a trip to the station?
But then you would--
Fine with me.
I just want to know if my wife is still alive.
Your wife?
Ichika is probably my wife.
What was
Ichika's name before her reboot?
To the station it is, then.
She is…
Her name is…
Natsumi.
Enjoy it while it's hot.
It wasn't me.
I swear it wasn't me.
I didn't steal the one billion!
You should already know.
The matter won't be resolved unless a culprit is named.
Everyone has heard the rumors
that you and Mr. Gidou pilfer the organization's money together.
Please spare me.
Please.
Well, I would be loath to lose such a competent treasurer.
Thus, I racked my brain and came up with just one alternative.
A reboot.
You want me to live as a different person?
I could never do that.
I can't…
You don't have a say in the matter.
What will become of your family if you don't do a reboot?
Takumi!
I doubt you want to lose them in an accident.
Stop! Please stop!
I'll do anything!
I'll do anything you ask!
Please stop it!
How fortunate.
I won't have to bid you farewell.
I have already prepared someone for you to reboot into.
I'm coming in.
Oh, wow.
Hello there.
Hello.
Huh, so that face is going to turn into mine?
I am Natsumi Hayase.
I'm Ichika Kougo.
For the next six months,
I'm supposed to teach you a bunch of stuff to turn you into me.
Let's get along.
Your frames are similar, so it should go well.
Your voice can be changed too, so rest assured.
What's Ayaka's birthday?
August 2nd, 2006.
Okay, next one.
-Our parents' death anniversary. -November 5th, 2016.
Okay, next.
The name of our pet dog.
Omochi. His favorite food was boiled cabbage.
Wow, you got everything right.
You really are smart.
-Food is ready. -Thank you.
I'll make something next time.
Wait, really?
Oh yeah, I want to teach you Ayaka's favorite dishes.
I'll leave it to you.
-Thanks for the meal. -Thanks for the meal.
You cooked for her all this time?
It must have been hard to raise her.
As a result, I only managed to pass
up to the multiple-choice part of the CPA exam.
Actually, that's an excuse. I'm just not smart enough.
Here.
I'm working hard so I can retake it too.
Really? It should be a piece of cake for you.
Hey, listen.
Why did you decide to take this job?
What? For money, of course.
What will you do when I become you?
Have fun living overseas.
Are you okay with not getting to see your sister anymore?
Yes.
Honestly, I'm kind of tired of looking after her.
What about you?
Does it hurt to be away from your family?
I can't cause them any more trouble.
Have this.
-What? -It's a photograph, since it's safer.
A soccer match?
-Yes. He scored a goal. -Really?
Your husband and his mother were thrilled.
Thank you.
No problem.
Wow, that's incredible.
That's totally me.
It's perfect.
Oh, wow.
Amazing.
You've completely turned into me, Natsumi.
Even Ayaka won't be able to tell us apart now.
No way.
Wait, what brought this on?
You're going to start a new life, so it's almost like a birthday.
Thank you for everything.
I pray that someday
you will be able to return to your family.
I told you I already gave up on that.
I know you can do it.
You'd better hold on to hope.
I have one last request.
You know how my sister needs a lung transplant?
Yes.
Apparently, it will cost 150 million yen, including the trip there.
I want you to save Ayaka with the money I earned.
What do you mean?
I made a deal with Gouroku.
That I would sell my life to him for 150 million yen.
Why don't you save her yourself?
Look after Ayaka for me.
This is the promised 150 million yen.
However, medical costs are up due to exchange rates and inflation.
This likely won't be enough for a transplant.
She missed the mark even though she bet her life on it. How pitiful.
I'll hand it over as per my deal with her,
but the deal didn't specify how you have to use it.
Do as you please.
In any case,
you are Ichika Kougo from today onwards.
TO PATIENTS WHO RECEIVE A CARDIAC CATHETER
Looking at a dating app again?
Look, doesn't this guy look kinda nice?
Want me to hook you up?
Please don't.
What's up?
I made lunch for you.
Wait, these are all my favorite foods.
Ayaka.
I will get a CPA qualification and make tons of money, okay?
I promise I'll save you.
Because you're the only family I have.
So cringe.
-Thanks for the meal. -Enjoy.
Due to unforeseen construction work,
Ichika Kougo's corpse has been discovered.
Oh, but no need to worry.
I will use a spy inside the police to pass it off as your corpse.
How would you do that?
We will have your belongings be "discovered" near the crime scene.
After that,
we will switch Ichika's dental records with yours.
What about the one billion theft?
Wasn't I named as the culprit?
We will have Mr. Gidou take the fall.
He was involved in embezzlement along with you, so he will be perfect.
That said,
it would be a shame to lose him, so instead,
we will do another reboot.
We will have your husband, Riku Hayase, reboot into Mr. Gidou.
Mr. Gidou will certainly agree if it lets him survive.
You will be the one to suggest it.
Then I will die instead.
It won't end with just your life anymore.
I will monitor you with this, so always carry it with you.
If you ever deliberately block the signal or tell your husband your identity,
you will never see your family again.
What brings you here, Ichika?
She was my predecessor.
Figured I would at least take a look at her.
You're Takumi, right?
My name is Ichika Kougo. I worked with your mother.
It may be tough, but you have to look forward.
Good luck.
I…
Riku Hayase?
Oh, your ring. You'll have to take it off.
Thanks again today.
How's your body holding up?
I bumped into someone and fell down the stairs.
But I'm totally fine.
I really did mean to protect you after you had gotten dragged into this.
The ten billion?
Yes, I will have Mr. Gidou take the blame for stealing the ten billion in goods.
But Chairman Ma will make you reimburse him for the ten billion.
Yeah, I will just pay it back as a loan with interest.
What could you possibly gain from doing that?
The election.
The election is coming up.
I need to offer a war chest to Yaichi Makita
and have his party win a majority in the election.
That will require a large sum of money available on hand.
If I can make Yaichi Makita the prime minister,
then it's worth taking the risk and paying back ten billion.
Don't tell me…
Did you also take the one billion from three years ago?
Oh, yes, that was for the House of Councillors race.
I managed to get Makita's party a big win, thanks to you taking the fall.
Now, trick the real Mr. Gidou
and set him up as the culprit.
How much is all this worth?
No less than ten billion yen.
We'll tell Chairman Ma it was Gidou and present them footage to that effect.
But they both look alike, and so will their corpses.
Wouldn't it be better to keep the more competent Gidou,
and get rid of Hayase?
Let me talk it out!
Gidou.
I need a favor from you.
NO SIGNAL
I will
declare myself the culprit when we go outside.
My death should resolve the situation for now.
After I'm dead, I want you to protect Riku Hayase.
What are you on about?
I am Natsumi Hayase.
I planned to sacrifice you, under orders from Gouroku.
But he is trying to kill my husband.
You…
You did a reboot?
It was all Gouroku's plan.
My husband will be killed if he knows my identity, so keep it secret.
Look after Riku for me.
Gidou.
I hate your guts,
but I hope you and Mayu can be happy together.
Well?
Did you find out where the goods are?
I did it.
Mr. Gidou!
How did they get here?
I don't know.
Someone might have been tracking me.
I hope you're prepared.
Machi?
Machi!
I'm so sorry, Machi.
Don't make this too difficult.
My sister needs the money.
Very well. Can I have a final confirmation?
I won't say a thing.
I will die as the culprit who stole the ten billion.
Excellent as always, Ichika.
It's a shame to lose someone so clever.
But I have just one request.
Let me see Takumi one last time.
It will cause trouble for your family.
I will keep my distance.
Just let me have one glimpse.
Unfortunately, you may not.
Fuyuhashi and his men have already surrounded you.
Die and apologize to Machi.
