Hey, hurry up!
Wait up!
You are so slow.
Hey, wait!
Uh, I'm sorry.
Are you all right?
Excuse me, are you...?
Hey, what's going on?
Shonen Bat, in a continuing reign of terror...
has struck yet another victim last night.
From the start, I've had my suspicions about these incidents.
And since the last attack...
we've found a connection to the previous incidents.
Right.
Taking a look at this chart...
The assailant, Shonen Bat...
first attacked the designer, Tsukiko Sagi.
Then he attacked the journalist...
Akio Kawazu, who was following her.
So, police investigators believed...
that someone close to Tsukiko Sagi would be the most likely suspect.
However, the third incident involving Shogo Ushiyama...
and his classmate, Yuichi Taira...
and most recently, Harumi Chono, the private tutor of Yuichi Taira...
Huh? Ah, yes. That's right.
What?! You mean that woman is Maria?!
I don't believe this.
I see. Yeah, I think so. I understand. Don't worry.
A MAN'S PATH
Yesterday's Traffic Accidents Fatalities: 1 Injuries: 229
Are you thinking about the law of causality again?
It's there like I told you.
Well, there seems to be a connection...
but it's not helping our investigation.
I'm...
I try to find out something new with each patrol.
Excuse me...
but do you have an official wanted poster?
We can't even create a police sketch...
because, there's too little information.
Even after four people have been attacked?
It's already five victims, including Harumi Chono.
Shit!
It would be easier if these incidents weren't related.
Discovering how they are related, is our job!
Even having this simple sketch is better than nothing.
There has to be causality between these cases.
Anyway, let us know if you find anything.
Let's go.
Chief!
Huh?
You're looking rather tired.
Is this case so difficult?
No, it's not...
I heard it's just a robbery case.
Yeah, we thought so at first.
We're still keeping that idea open, but...
You're beating around the bush. That's not like you.
I just quit...
smoking.
Really?
So, what's going on?
You were saying there's some connection between the cases.
So, what about the woman, Harumi Chono?
She was the private tutor of the fourth victim, Yuichi Taira.
Well, that's a connection.
She was a tutor on the side.
Her real job was as an assistant for a professor at Jiai University.
What's wrong?
You're not cured yet?
No, I think this will stay with me forever.
Oh, I just heard.
Construction has finally begun on that house you always wanted.
The mortgage will stay with me forever, too.
But it's for my family.
I just have to work a little harder everyday.
You've treated your family very nicely...
for as long as I can remember.
Oh, stop it.
Flatter me all you want, but the only thing you'll get out of me is snot.
Handa Enterprises
Suita Family
So, we have nothing to worry about?
At least for now.
Harumi Chono didn't talk about the prostitution ring.
However, it's only for the time being.
Thank you for your advice.
So?
Hey!
Yes.
I can't beat you.
This'll do for now.
And one more thing.
You know...
Hey!
Let's see...
This one!
Little Alice, how old are you?
I'm twenty. Why?
You're so good.
Oh, please stop. How old are you, Mister?
Daddy!
What?
You have to call me DADDY!
I have no choice.
The only thing I have left is my family.
Chief, I'm not like you. I don't think I'd ever get promoted.
But still, I want to provide for my wife and child adequately.
I think I should learn from your attitude.
Oh, how old is your daughter?
She's seventeen.
A very sassy age.
Time passes too quickly.
She was still a little girl when I saw her last.
It's very quick.
She grew up in a blink of my eye.
Well, I'm like a lone wolf!
I guess I'll just work and live honestly...
and complete my life as a good man.
You've got a lot of nerve, stranger!
I advise you to pay up!!
And if I refuse?
Threats won't work on me!
Let's take him down!
Your parents gave you life.
Treat it better!
Hello!
Outside!
Huh?
Look outside!
Oh, good evening, sir!
Tama Cemetery
Sorry for the surprise visit.
You know, I appreciate you looking after my man, Handa.
Oh, no. I appreciate the opportunity.
Handa and I are like good friends.
Friends?
Yes, he told me everything.
Because of that, I'd like to ask a special favor of you.
Oh?
Two million yen.
What?
Handa is engaged.
So, we are asking all his friends for an engagement gift.
Two million yen per person.
What?! Are you nuts?!
The money for your dream house...
I heard that Handa helped a lot with that.
If you act like you're not his friend anymore...
I might have to burn it down!
Ouch! It's hot! Stop!
Well then, I'll come by in three days to collect the money.
Construction Permit for Masami Hirukawa
Have a nice day.
One million yen.
Can you wait a little while?
I promise to pay you the rest.
Then, I'll pay the rest for now.
The remaining two million yen.
That's not right.
It should only be one million yen.
Handa was injured and is in the hospital.
You'll pay, right? To show your sympathy.
Makabe, you bastard!
Oh, no! No! Wait a second!
Please don't! They'll never give up! You'll be killed!
I can't turn back! That is a man's path.
Yesterday's Traffic Accidents Fatalities: 2 Injuries: 192
The adjacent jurisdiction seems to be very busy.
I heard a masked man is robbing the area.
I'm glad it's not happening in our jurisdiction.
Brother, are you just going to let them do whatever they want?!
I'm surrounded by violence and crime.
The path I'm about to follow is a very dangerous one.
A path that a real man must go through.
I abandoned my love, my tears and my life.
Now I just howl at the starlit sky.
The lone wolf's song is in my head.
I'm blowing in the wind and floating over the world.
But I know I'll eventually fall into red blood.
I'd like to bloom as a beautiful red flower...
even though my life's dream has never bloomed.
But at the end of my journey...
it just might happen.
My red flower just might bloom.
Brother!
I must settle this as a man.
In Musashino City, a string of robberies have occurred.
The local police considering this...
to be the work of one person.
Witnesses have reported the suspect to be in his 40's or 50's...
wearing a pink mask, and a blue...
I'm begging you. Please don't let me do this anymore.
I'm sorry that I squeezed Handa for too much.
I promise I'll never bother him!
You are mistaken, Mr. Hirukawa.
I'm merely trying to get back the five million yen that I lent you.
Five...! Five million?!
Please forgive me! I'm a policeman.
I have a wife and child.
My daughter is going to college next year.
Mr. Hirukawa, do you know that your happiness...
was built upon someone else's misfortune?
For your wife and daughter...
someone has to suffer. You understand?
Here, this is for you.
It should give you some encouragement.
The weakness in your heart will go away.
Huh, who are you?
I'm...
I am no one!
A floating weed!
I'm here to...!
Pay back what I owe!
- Ouch! - Bastard!
Wait! Don't Shoot!
Where is the girl?
I'm asking you, where is the money?!
Are you all right? I'm here to save you.
Stop! We've been saving that money for twenty years.
It's the money to buy our house.
Don't worry!
Young Lady, you're all right now.
It's you.
I...! I...!
I still don't know your name!
You have to...
I'm home!
What's happened to you?
You have to...!
Call me DADDY!!
I am no one! A floating weed!
Hirukawa?!
Hirukawa!
Ouch!
Are you all right?
Oh! It's you Ikari.
Hey, don't say such things!
Why not?
You shouldn't say that kind of thing.
Is that your daughter's?
Oh, this?
She forgot this at her cram school, so she wanted me to pick it up.
She doesn't see a father's dignity in me.
What's the matter? Something's bothering you.
Shonen Bat? Is that it?
- Hirukawa...
- Oh!
Look at this! It's Rising Sun Sakura matches!
That's very classic.
Hirukawa, why do people commit crimes?
Oh, it's just because...
There are so many reasons.
Hey, master, you've got Rising Sun Sakura brand here.
That's really classy stuff.
Thanks.
Hey, I'm giving you a compliment. Don't just say thanks.
Right?
Yes, there are so many reasons.
And our job is to find out what those reasons are.
- Isn't it?
- That's right!
But, they may not have so many reasons anymore.
Investigating is footwork! Visit the crime scene 100 times!
A crime that has no motive...
And now "no motive" has become a motive for crime.
No matter how hard I look for a connection or reasons...
there just isn't one anymore.
That's the kind of generation we're living in now.
- Master, I'll have that Koya Tofu.
- OK!
Think about the victims when you're in a slump.
The criminal will always return to the scene of the crime!
However...
Well...
That's why I'm going to find the assailant.
I'm going to grab hold of this generation!
I see! You're investigating the generation!
Great! Go for it!
Get this generation in your grasp!
Go speedy on the broadband!
Our generation's time is coming soon.
Yes.
No one can stop us now.
Stop me...
Stop me!
Please stop me!
Somebody please stop me!
Please!
Stop me!
I can't take it anymore!
Somebody! Can't somebody stop me?!
That hurts!
Why the hell did you do that?
Wait!
You bastard!
Come on you damn brat! Why did you do that?
Stupid little jerk! How do you like this!
Come on! Asshole! Asshole! Asshole!
The serial street attacker of Musashino city...
who has been terrorizing people was finally arrested last night.
With few witnesses, the investigation had been progressing slowly.
Surprisingly the man who caught the suspect...
was an off-duty police officer...
who works at a sub-station in the area.
A press conference will be held shortly...
in front of the police sub-station where he works.
Can you tell us how you arrested the suspect?
Officer Masami Hirukawa (Age 48)
Well, I was...
You've started smoking again?
You can start the questioning now.
Oh, thanks.
Hey, chief...
Yeah...
To begin with...
Guided by the red rays...
The road that divides the present from the past...
The rising sun cherry blossom that steals your breath...
In a thicket before you know it...
The princess is possessed...
The sacred sword knocks at the door...
The surprise when it opens...
Charge!
Well...
