Fuyuhashi!
I know you don't want to kill people.
You want to save someone!
I'll act like you escaped on your own.
Were you
about to let this man escape just now, Mr. Fuyuhashi?
Crap, hang on--
Mr. Gouroku's orders
are absolute.
Sorry, Mr. Fuyuhashi.
I went against Mr. Gouroku's orders.
Machi said to me…
that we should gain more power and make a new world by ourselves.
I'll team up with you.
Fuyuhashi.
Kiriya.
We're fighting Mr. Gouroku.
I've waited so long to hear you say those words!
Should we bury this guy too?
P-Please spare me.
I'll do anything you ask.
Mr. Kikuchi.
I apologize for killing your subordinates.
What?
I'll take the organization from Mr. Gouroku.
But I can't manage it all by myself.
Will you lend me your help?
Do… you have a shot at winning?
You don't have a choice whether we do or not.
Sorry.
Hello, Mr. Kikuchi.
I assume it has been dealt with?
I got Kikuchi to spill the location of the ten billion.
Don't lay a hand on Natsumi if you want the money back.
Excuse me.
Is Fuyuhashi there too?
I'll be taking over the organization.
I think of you as my own son.
I planned to let you have the organization.
Expand your perspective.
You can still turn back.
No, I can't.
Nor do I want to.
Let me hear Natsumi's voice.
Or say goodbye to your precious money.
Hurry it up.
Hello?
The weather when Takumi was born?
Sunny.
You opened the windows for me,
and there wasn't a single cloud.
Natsumi.
We're going to return home together.
Very well then.
I'll exchange her for the money.
I don't plan to negotiate.
You will free Natsumi and quietly step down from the organization.
You think I would accept those conditions?
This is an order.
If you don't obey,
I'll take the money to Chairman Ma in Hong Kong.
I'll let him know you stole the money as a ruse to donate it to Yaichi Makita.
No one will trust what a fake Gidou says.
Chairman Ma will trust us if both Mr. Kikuchi and I testify.
You will be buried.
Your family won't remain safe either.
At 6:00 a.m. today,
free Natsumi at the location I'm sending you.
After that,
hold an executive meeting and resign.
Don't screw with me!
If you want to protect your family, you have to obey our orders.
This is
what you've been doing all this time.
Mr. Tamana, please put security around my house.
-What? -Quickly!
Understood!
Sorry for making a ruckus.
Did something happen?
Nothing of importance. The transfer will take place as planned.
We're putting ourselves at risk too.
Please explain the situation.
Hayase and his lot stole the ten billion.
Not to worry, I'll have it back soon.
How?
Using whatever means it takes.
Feeling cornered, aren't you?
Please stop!
Not in front of us.
Act tough while you can.
I'll bury you soon.
You don't scare me anymore, now that I have him with me.
The guards have been placed.
Assemble the men.
We'll collect leverage for negotiation.
SHELTER
Get in that car.
This way, everyone.
In here.
-Hurry. -There's room in the front.
-Sorry, it's cramped. -Three up front.
Sorry. Handle the rest.
Okay.
They came as expected.
Okay, should we go get them?
Don't cause a scene at Shelter.
Are the other people in your group okay?
I've spread the word.
What about your family?
I can send people, if needed.
No, they'll be fine. The police are guarding them.
There's no one here. They must have expected us to come.
I see.
In that case,
go for the other target.
But the risk is--
I don't care.
Do it.
Do you want some hot cocoa?
Hm? Thanks, but I'm good.
For the time being,
I'll go elsewhere with the kids.
I promise I'll keep those two safe.
HAYASE PATISSERIE
Hey. What's the situation?
Nothing unusual. What brings you here so early?
Is Gidou here?
Yes?
I'm Adachi from the MPD. Sorry for coming so early.
May I have some of your time?
Sorry, but I just woke up.
Excuse me. Is Gidou with you?
He isn't.
Has anything unusual happened?
No.
Where else would Gidou go?
Should we check his residence again?
Yes.
We should wait here.
I'm certain Riku Hayase will come here.
How come?
A detective's intuition.
-Takumi! -Grandma.
Don't make a noise.
The kid dies if you act up.
Where's Natsumi?
I let her go.
-Huh? -But guess what?
When I showed her this, her face turned pale,
and she went off on her own.
I would've preferred not to harm a child,
but you pushed my limits.
How did they get inside?
With the help of collaborators within the police.
There were no guards on the second floor.
And I also told Natsumi
that the entire place would burn if she sought help from you or the police.
Takumi.
Mothers really seem to lose their cool when it comes to their children.
Wait!
The tables have turned.
Hand over the ten billion.
If you disobey me, your family will burn and perish.
That's not my problem.
-Fuyuhashi. -Oh, dear.
Having a falling-out already?
What now, Mr. Hayase?
As things stand, Fuyuhashi will let your family die.
Let us talk for a moment.
Very well.
But make it quick.
Don't show weakness.
We're dead if we hand over--
I know!
I'm thinking! Give me a second.
Fuyuhashi.
Keep looking my way like that.
Mr. Makita? This is Hayase.
I stole Gouroku's ten billion.
Well, that's a problem.
I can't arrest him unless he hands it over to Yaichi Makita.
I know.
I'll return the money to Gouroku.
In exchange,
I'll ask him to have Yaichi Makita be there for the transfer.
Catch them both in the act.
That's quite a radical idea.
Would Gouroku accept that condition?
He took my family hostage.
I'll drag Yaichi Makita out at any cost.
Mr. Makita,
you want to take down the whale, right?
This is your last chance.
Bet it all on me.
When will it take place?
This evening at 6:00 p.m.
In a vacant building in Arakawa City.
That's quite sudden.
My family is in danger. There's no time.
I understand.
You're sure you can trust this Makita guy?
It's our only option right now.
I've talked it out with Fuyuhashi.
We'll hand over the money today at 6:00 p.m.,
at a vacant building in Arakawa City.
But we have a condition.
Make Yaichi Makita, the politician, attend the deal.
If you do,
we can be sure you won't kill us in his presence.
There's no way he would come to a place like that.
Then make him come.
Listen.
If Yaichi doesn't come, we'll burn the ten billion.
Well?
You want to fight fire with fire?
Do it.
Make your move.
We can't make a deal that would just get us killed.
If you can't accept it,
we'll tell Chairman Ma and have him bury you.
All right.
See you at 6:00 p.m. then.
Hello.
Did you hear all that?
Yes, of course.
It's a tricky condition, but we have little choice, given the situation.
I'll go convince him.
Hazuki and I had planned to get a meal together, you see.
What brings you here?
The ten billion will be retrieved later today at 6:00 p.m.
Good.
Mr. Gouroku is quick to get things done.
Can you be present for the transfer?
Hayase, the one who stole it, says he won't return it unless you're there.
He means it.
The money will be gone otherwise.
A patissier, was he?
A man like him dares to get in my way?
I know it's an unreasonable demand,
but we're all taking risks for you here.
-Can you-- -Of course, I'll go.
The public is behind me.
They want me to steer this country.
To reach that reality,
I'll get my hands dirty.
This could be a trap laid by Hayase.
I have you and Mr. Gouroku on my side.
One man's misplaced righteousness will not impede this country's progress.
This is Adachi from the MPD.
Has anything unusual happened lately?
No, not in particular.
Should I bring you some food? You've been inside this whole time, right?
No need.
Excuse me, but you're scaring my grandson.
Can you not do this so often?
I understand. I apologize.
Did her voice seem a bit frightened to you?
I mean, her grandson almost got kidnapped.
Forget that. Do you think they're sheltering Riku Hayase?
Hayase doesn't know that we're aware of his identity.
So I think it's unlikely.
Where's my grandson?
Hag.
Stay quiet if you don't want the kid to burn.
Ryouko.
Whisper.
Where is Takumi?
In the adjacent room.
Cut the tape.
I'll go save him.
Hey, don't move, hag!
You can't do it alone.
But I have to go save him.
In times like these,
you can't panic.
The Hayase family is nothing if not persistent.
But…
Don't worry.
I'm sure Riku will get us out of this.
That boy
adamantly clung on to life,
even changing his face.
That takes unbelievable grit.
This situation made it very clear to me
that your husband
is a lot more dependable than I thought.
I see.
So it's true.
You're Natsumi.
When I saw how you looked at Takumi,
I couldn't help but wonder.
Then it all clicked when I learned that Riku had changed his face.
You have to be Natsumi if you're willing to save Takumi at the risk of your life.
It was my fault that you were…
pushed down those stairs.
I'm so sorry.
Then,
you'd better look after me from now on.
Natsumi.
I'm so glad that you stayed alive.
I'm truly glad.
We can't be like this.
The two of us have to keep Takumi safe.
Yes.
I'm sure Riku will come.
MPD, FIRST DIVISION AYUMI GIDOU
Stop.
Let us confirm the ten billion.
Show us Yaichi Makita first.
So you are Mr. Hayase.
What you've stolen is not just money.
Let's have you return this country's future.
Confirmed.
They're all real.
There you go, Mr. Yaichi Makita.
It's all yours.
Let me guess.
You expect the police to arrive any moment now.
But they won't.
Well, not quite.
One will arrive.
My greatest ally.
Hey there, Inspector Gidou.
Mr. Makita.
Don't even try.
Or you'll lose your family too.
Aoi!
Sorry. They caught us.
Both of you have done good work for me thus far.
I'll treat you to a nice meal before the end.
You can exit from the back.
Kiriya, to my house. Hurry!
This is the police! Freeze!
-Don't move! -We have him.
Good work, Inspector Hijikata.
Same to you, sir.
You finally caught the whale.
Indeed.
What is the meaning of this?!
I was your enemy all along.
I joined up with Hayase and the others
for a chance to arrest Yaichi Makita, the politician.
I waited patiently for the opportune moment.
My family is in danger. There's no time.
I understand.
I'll arrest them both alongside the Second Division.
They'll use stun grenades when entering,
so close your eyes when I give the signal.
Mr. Makita, what about my family?
There are spies in the police, so I'll minimize who's in the loop.
I'll prepare an escape route for you, so take Gouroku and leave.
Why did you betray me?
You betrayed me first.
Twelve years ago.
My wife's hit-and-run accident.
The one driving the car back then
was actually you.
Despite knowing it would ruin my chances at advancing my career…
my wife protected you.
I suppose she loved you more than she loved me.
I know your relationship with her is still ongoing.
Alas…
Adultery isn't a crime.
The law can't punish it.
So I took my time
and laid the groundwork for this moment.
You…
Brother.
I've always hated you!
Yaichi Makita.
You're under arrest for bribery and corruption.
Such petty revenge.
This isn't the end.
It won't end in a place like this.
The future of Japan
needs Yaichi Makita.
Call the part-timers and make them free my family.
Hurry up!
I don't know their numbers. Mr. Tamana hired them.
Kiriya, hurry up.
It's already too late.
I ordered them to set the place ablaze if they don't hear from me by 6:05 p.m.
-Hello? -Adachi, where are you?
At the Hayase Patisserie.
-Go in right now! -What?
My family is about to be killed! Hurry!
Hey, he's a fugitive, you know!
-Okay. -Let's do it.
At least spare my grandson!
Shut up, hag.
Ryouko!
There's one in the kitchen!
Damn you. Let go.
It stinks.
Call for backup, Mr. Teramoto.
Okay.
Sorry, okay? I have orders.
It was true.
You are the spy.
Why join Gouroku's organization?
It's just part-time work.
I got addicted to online casinos, and couldn't kick the habit.
I just got orders on my phone, so I don't even know who hired me.
Hot!
Riku!
Let go!
So you really are an impostor!
Then what the hell are you, Teramoto?
Huh?
You're worse than an impostor.
You're a damn traitor!
Detective!
Adachi, handle him.
Okay.
Riku! Get Takumi!
-Takumi is-- -Takumi!
Takumi!
You okay, Takumi?
Takumi!
Takumi.
It's all okay now.
Okay?
Get in.
-Are you feeling okay? -Yes.
-I'll check your eyes next. -Okay.
Let me know if it stings.
I worked as an accountant in Gouroku's organization.
I'm familiar with the case.
I'll confess to all my own crimes too.
You're Riku Hayase?
Yes.
I am Riku Hayase.
Dad!
Takumi!
Relax, I'll be back.
When I do, let's make a Hayase Shortcake together.
Supervisor Mikami.
-I need a favor. -Don't talk.
Could you let her meet her sister?
She has a sister with a terminal illness.
-Please. -Knock it off!
You damn impostor.
Ms. Adachi, please.
She did all this for her sister.
She's at the Meikan University Hospital!
Let them meet one last time, so they can say their goodbyes.
Move!
Adachi, please!
Move, Hayase!
Let's go.
Excuse me, I just received word from Supervisor Mikami.
We have to make a detour to Meikan University Hospital.
You don't have to lie.
I'm already heading there.
You're…
My superior ordered me to.
You surprised me.
Ayaka.
I can't come visit you for a while.
When the lawyer arrives, make sure you listen to them.
I'll always…
love you.
You don't have to pretend.
I noticed, you know.
That you're not my real sister.
But I couldn't say it.
I didn't think I could live on if even you abandoned me.
I was too scared to say it.
My sister was tired of having to take care of me.
She abandoned me, right?
-And she paid you to-- -No.
That's not true.
Your sister
cherished you more than anything.
Ichika desperately wanted to save you,
and she put her life on the line for you.
That's why
you have to keep on living.
No matter what.
Don't give up, no matter what.
Sister.
Thank you for everything.
I'm the one who should thank you.
After I had lost my family,
you were my only salvation.
Thank you.
I'll focus on running Shelter. Mr. Kikuchi will run the organization.
You're just being used by Fuyuhashi, Mr. Kikuchi.
Oh, do I hear a sore loser whining?
Have a nice meal before the end.
I'll cook for you.
You can get as much money as you want.
At that point, money just becomes a symbol without much value.
However,
not if you use it properly.
I tried to change this country with the proper use of money.
All for this country's future.
Well, call it a revolution of sorts.
Fuyuhashi.
What do you intend to do after inheriting this organization?
I'll save children who were abandoned by their families.
That's too small. You'll never change anything like that.
I can.
I understand very well now.
Compared to the guys who talk big and are slaves to money and power,
a man fiercely trying to protect his small family is way stronger.
I'll get stronger allies like that
and change this world.
Enjoy it while it's hot.
Learn how to cook first.
Thank you for taking me in.
Hey, Fuyuhashi!
-You tricked me! -Eisuke Kikuchi?
You're under arrest for violating the Organized Crime Punishment Act.
No.
This is all wrong.
To establish Yaichi Makita's culpability,
we need your testimony.
Yaichi Makita might slip through your fingers unless I cooperate.
If he survives, I'll have a chance to get back into the game as well.
If you admit to all your crimes and cooperate with the investigation,
I promise to restrain the organization from Hong Kong.
Restrain?
To prevent them from harming your family.
The police will put pressure on them,
which will keep your family safe.
Will you live so you can reform this country,
or will you admit to your crimes for your family
and face a death sentence?
Make your choice.
M-My family.
Please save my family.
There.
That should fill everyone up.
No, that's way too much.
Hey, Kiriya.
Am I bad at cooking?
What?
Well…
You sure are.
Shut up.
Then don't ask me.
Take care of the rest.
What do you mean?
I'll be caught soon enough.
I'll take sole responsibility for all the dirty work we did.
Well, you might have to serve a few years anyway,
but after that,
look after Shelter with Aoi and the rest.
I'll turn myself in and say that I did all the dirty work.
Why else have I stuck with you so long?
Don't be silly.
I would be dead if I hadn't met you, Mr. Fuyuhashi.
We were all saved by you.
You're the only one who can do the saving.
Fulfill the dream you and Machi had.
I can't run forever.
Yes, you can.
There's a way to do it.
A secret one.
The Kaisei party faced a crushing defeat in yesterday's election for the House.
The arrest of Yaichi Makita, the party's previous leader
who allegedly misappropriated illicit funds for his political campaign,
is seen as having been a major factor.
We're off!
Take care!
I'll be working late, so reheat the food for dinner.
-Okay. Bye! -Take care.
DIVORCE FORM
Starting next month, I will be assigned as the chief at Niigata Prefectural HQ.
The current Cabinet pulled some strings for me
since they won the election.
This is how the world goes round.
Money and power decide the balance of everything.
Why tell me that?
I'm a sore loser, I suppose.
I wanted to declare to you…
that there were bigger things in the world
than having a happy family.
I wonder what it is.
Happiness.
You can be happy while eating sweets.
Come try our cake sometime.
If I feel like it.
Later.
Thank you for everything.
Riku Hayase.
POLICE OFFICER IMPERSONATION CASE
Riku Hayase, the man who changed his face
to prove his innocence in his wife's murder, has returned home.
He's surrounded by reporters.
He has been released to house arrest,
but many citizens wish for a lenient sentence,
and the trial will determine whether he receives a suspended sentence.
Good job hanging in there, Takumi.
I'm back.
Dad is back, okay?
Welcome home.
I'm home.
These are the belongings we had in our custody.
Furthermore, we learned that your husband had rented a storage unit in Chiba.
Upon inspection, we found that it contained 52 million yen in cash.
I assume that money
was earned through illegal means.
We don't know its source.
You have the right to inherit it.
In that case,
give it to the Hayase couple.
They suffered the most. They should have it.
Actually, a lawyer claiming to be hired by Natsumi Hayase insists on seeing you.
Who was the person that sent the 52 million yen?
They wish to remain anonymous.
For now, just focus on your own health.
Okay.
I need a favor from you.
Wait, there's more?
If anything happens to me, I want you to help Ayaka, my sister.
POLICE OFFICER IMPERSONATION CASE
THREE YEARS IMPRISONMENT, FIVE YEARS SUSPENDED SENTENCE
Thank you for looking after me.
Natsumi Hayase?
Who are you?
I'm Machimura from Shelter, a non-profit.
I came to pick you up.
I heard, you know.
You never met your family when they came to visit you.
I guess a criminal returning to them would just be a burden.
Would you like to come help Shelter?
Maybe you'll find a new family.
I doubt you have anywhere to go.
Just hop on.
HAYASE PATISSERIE
Wait, hang on.
This is where you should return to.
This is none of your business.
You dropped this.
Fuyuhashi?
Don't you run away.
Machi and I had nothing we could call family.
But you have one.
You stayed alive for your family.
You survived.
Go.
Return to your family.
Welcome!
I made it.
I've gotten better, haven't I?
Takumi.
HAYASE
WELCOME HOME, MOM
Welcome home,
Mom.
Welcome home, Natsumi.
Welcome home.
I'm home.
WELCOME HOME, MOM
Thank you for the treat.
It's delicious.
Let's eat then.
Yeah.
Thanks for the treat.
