Who is this?
Are you...
Why...
Why did it end up like this?
He is not picking up.
- Let's head to the Official Residence for now. - Yes.
Everything will be fine after this.
Don't. You got it wrong.
Without any power...
I can't save anyone.
It's not the Prime Minister.
Don't. You got it wrong.
What is so wrong? Chief Myochin.
All we need is...
power.
The world is controlled by money.
Humans are also... controlled by money.
But, at that time,
I believed that such a society can be changed.
With a weapon known as Justice.
As a public servant, I will work hard and
use the Hammer of Justice to punish the evildoers.
Your so-called justice gonna rot one day. So just give up that thought.
What does your justice refer to?
Where does your sense of justice lay?
My... sense of justice?
Please burn this money.
Shinko-san...
Not in? We need to get in contact with Secretary Kudo urgently.
I'm terribly sorry.
I'm sure you know where he went. If you do... Tell us!
Scary.
What is?
I can sense that he is getting involved in something scary.
Taxes are what the citizens entrust to the country.
Protecting this money and the citizens is the job of the Board of Audit

THIS FANSUB IS FREE @ D-addicts. NOT FOR SALE, RENT, OR AUCTION.
Did you dispose of the money properly?
Yes.
Stop making that face.
Why are you injured?
Come in.
Commissioner Kurume.
It's fine. You can stay.
What is that pressing matter you speak of?
Amazing. You seem to have gotten rid of the Audit's pursuit...
on that case regarding the pigs. Not bad.
What do you mean?
The money Secretariat Kudo burned is fake.
What?
This, is the money he wanted to burn.
What do you mean?
It was my subordinate who knocked you out.
According to my sources, that money is linked to Tamalia.
What are you basing this on?
This case contains data that Myochin wanted to pass to the Board of Audit.
He was investigating the Capital Bank's branch in Tamalia.
And made a copy of the yen exchange record and the record of that 1.8 billion yen.
You transferred Chief to the Finance Service Agency
in order to find evidence on the PM's fraud?!
That's why he ended up in a do-nothing post?
But Commissioner Chacha was really fast.
My evidence was nearly snatched by him.
What exactly is your motive?
At the two-way talks with America...
Japanese Government emphasized that maintaining a good relationship is the focus of their diplomacy.
The Government suggested an exchange-rate adjustment on the 17th.
Prime Minister Kashinaga will be having a rally next week.
He's safe.
Hey...?
Yeah...
What's gonna happen after our "stay at home" orders?
Well, my prayers will finally be answered...
You'll be fired.
Kado-san and I will probably be assigned to a local district.
- What's gonna happen to him? - Just leave him alone.
He chose a different path from us.
- And that's plain obvious. - Are you really fine with this?
Yes. For your sake too, just leave him alone.
Why?
You hid the fact that you're out on parole and became a civil servant.
That in itself is a crime.
If you meddle any further,
You will be done for once they make their move.
Your parole will also be revoked.
Just forget it.
He's the PM. You can never...
I'm surprised you came to see him.
I only have myself to blame for giving him that task.
I was stupid.
This happened when I finally decided to be serious.
Could you pass this to Myochin-kun's daughter?
His bag has been stolen, and his desk had been emptied.
However, the thief didn't take this.
What a disgrace!
Because you failed to burn the money,
He had the chance to blackmail me!
What exactly is your motive?
If you don't want the public
to get wind of this money, and your plot to embezzle the funds from ODA,
Please pass this country over to me.
He plans to take control over the national budget of 92 trillion!
With a petty sum of 100 million!
I'm terribly sorry for that.
- It's your fault then? - Yes!
Do you admit that it's your fault that resulted in this situation?
Yes.
If that's so...
Will you take responsibility?
Yes.
Then...
Please disappear.
Using the ODA, and high yen-exchange rate to create a slush fund...
Was all done by me.
It has nothing to do with the Prime Minister.
I don't wish to trouble the PM anymore.
I'm sorry for everything. I can only compensate with my death.
This...
This is the only way out.
Papa is doing his best at his job today too.
I've found out those who misused money.
and finished them off in one go.
Recently, Papa and everyone else seems to have changed.
Papa will also try harder too.
My bad, sorry for reading your diary without permission.
"The medical inspection for the pigs in the breeding pen should have ended. "
"Do clean up the pen properly and prepare the important feed. "
Are you trying to ambush me here?
I wonder which idiot called me, asking for help.
You must have misunderstood something.
I'm here just to take a last look at the Board of Audit.
What happened?
Answer me.
Well... Stop concerning yourself with the PM.
That's my warning to you.
The PM is a really scary person...
Who cares about him.
I'm asking about you.
What's so funny?
In the first place,
I became the Minister's Secretary in order to protect you.
Even so, you still had to worry about me.
I see.
I get it now.
I'm just a lil' bro, yet I allowed myself to get conceited.
What? What are you going on about?
But, even if I'm like this...
Oh yeah... Even a fool like me has something he needs to protect.
I'm asking you what are you talking about?
I was really glad since
I became the stepping stone for the PM.
- What do you mean by that? - Ehh...
It's my last. I got to do it well.
Last?
I'm glad I met you... Shinko-san.
What?
Goodbye.
We lost again.
Just like how we lost with the Japan Defense Agency.
Yea.
I didn't choose this job for such crappy experiences.
But even if we, underlings make a huge fuss about this,
The country will still remain unchanged.
Why do government officials like us still exist then?
I guess there's probably no meaning to that.
I wanted to work for the country.
I must be a fool for having such thoughts.
Maybe I should just quit.
If you quit, I'll follow suit.
Maybe I should return home and grow some delicious spring onions with Mom...
Then I can return home and succeed the tofu shop.
We can even sell boiled tofu together!
Boiled tofu sounds nice.
But... your parents opened a tofu shop?
Of course. You thought they grew pumpkin squash?
Who's the veggie here...
We can't win against the PM.
But I...
I'm really vexed over this.
I'm vex over this too.
But I don't want someone to get hurt any further.
I'm backing out.
Are you talking about Tsutsumi Shinko?
You really love her, don't you?
Yea.
I thought so.
Was it obvious?
Plain obvious.
Have you made up your mind?
- What are you talking about? - Stop acting dumb.
Are you, the PM, fine with me exposing your fraud to the public?
Are you referring to the 100 million you brought the other day?
Did you...
That was done by my reckless secretary.
I had no idea about it.
You got him to take responsibility for it?
Well... he's already an adult.
He ought to take responsibility for his actions.
Stop playing statue there and go search for Yu-kun.
What is this, all of a sudden...
Let me ask you.
Yu-kun said that he'd become the stepping stone for the PM, didn't he?
I'm asking what does that mean.
In that case...
He's saying he'll become the sacrificial lamb for the PM.
Have you done something that caused you to get fired?
You were trying
To rectify the actions of the PM, the most powerful guy in Japan.
- Am I right? - Yes.
If that's so, put the firing thing aside for now.
Do the right thing, and search for Yu-kun!
People experience sadness or pain.
It is during those times that...
They want to be held tightly by the one they love.
From that hug, they will receive immense courage and strength!
That's what happened to me.
I lost everything, but I have you guys.
You guys hugged me tightly.
Shinko. I can see you really want to do that.
Go. Do what you believe is right.
No matter what others say about you...
I still believe in you.
- Geez, you're really long-winded. - Say no more, and just go!
I don't need you to tell me.
Thanks.
I just wanted to take a last look at the Board of Audit.
Where did he go?
Somewhere overlooking the Board of Audit..
The Board of Audit is there...
And the Official Residence is there...
What a small world.
Shinko-san.
So... You got dumped by the PM?
If everyone killed themselves because they got dumped...
Japan would be covered with bodies.
Geez. People nowadays can throw away anything without a second thought.
How troublesome.
I'm not doing this without a second thought.
- I'm doing this for the future of the country and the PM! - What the hell is that!
Someone who chooses to throw away their life so easily...
Can't be useful to society.
Come.
Give me your hand!
Your hands are going numb, aren't they?
Geez. If you really want to die so much...
Then just die.
The many children around the world starving to death are more afraid of death than you.
Choosing to die like this...
is too wasteful!
That PM is unable to affect people's heart.
Because he doesn't know what is love.
Sense of justice will go bad immediately.
But love doesn't.
My Mom once said.
"I can get betrayed, deceived or even lose everything... "
"But I have you guys. "
I... I'm...
I'm just a secretary.
I'm telling you, these aren't related at all!
You are you, and not anyone else.
I...
I believe in you.
You must be hungry.
Yeah.
Let's go eat.
Here you go.
It's done.
Go on. Eat up.
There's simmered seaweed too.
Shinko-ne only cooks once in a blue moon. You don't get to eat it often.
Eat loads, just like always.
Right.
Delicious.
Isn't it?
Isn't it amazing? It taste exactly the same as Mom's cooking.
Yes.
It's delicious.
Happiness is being able to eat a delicious meal.
Let me tell you...
Something amazing.
What you're eating now is...
Ta-da... pumpkin squash.
This is?
That's my first time seeing that...
Oh my, you didn't know?
Really looks like him...
Sorry for not knowing...
Sorry, Kaneda-san...
You taste really delicious.
Sorry for causing so much trouble.
That's what happened.
Oi! Don't think everything will end just by a simple apology.
The 2nd unit is gone. It's gone.
Yes...
Aren't you the most vexed over this?
Well... I'm simply different from you guys.
I forget easily.
What?
Are you implying that we fuss over trivial matters?
We aren't some petty asshole like what you said.
- Am I wrong? Isn't it really small? - What!
I came to my senses.
I will expose the PM's fraud.
Someone else also made use of the PM.
A sly fox, that is.
Please...
lend me your strength once again.
Are you serious?
Up till now, we have not found traces of that 1.8 billion in the Official Residence.
What? Then, the money is still at the port?
Right. The battle isn't over yet.
Kudo.
Can we believe you this time?
Yes.
But, what can the four of us do?
No. It's five of us.
Mole is with us too.
- Are you fine with this? - What?
Are you fine with this?
Yes.
I'm fine with this.
Did you manage to contact Kudo?
No.
Yes.
I still can't find any traces of Kudo taking the rap.
In that case,
Going along with my plan will be the best.
I guess you're right.
What do you mean? Commissioner Kurume...
He wants to gain control of the country on the pretext of exposing the PM's fraud?
Yes.
That's why he made you investigate the Tamalia aid?
To achieve his aims, he scouted Tsutsumi Shinko,
Transferred Chief Myochin to the Finance Service Agency,
And assigned Kudo to be the PM's secretary.
Please give us one more chance.
But...
You want to continue with the investigation, but without any evidences...
We have them.
In the diary you gave us.
Mole wrote about pigs.
Pigs?
"The medical inspection for the pigs in the breeding pen should have ended. "
"Do clean up the pen properly,"
"and prepare the important feed. "
This is?
His daughter's school doesn't rear pigs.
Then, what is this?
Are you implying this is a message he left us?
He called us dozens of times on the day he was attacked.
He left no messages, so, whatever he needed to tell us needed more than just a couple of words.
Not long after, he was attacked by someone. Possibly Kurume's subordinate.
Kurume snatched away the evidence that he had wanted
to pass to you, Commissioner Chacha.
So he left a message in his diary
to preempt a worst case scenario where the evidence might be stolen.
"Make sure the feed reaches the destination, after the inspections are done. "
The money obtained from the high exchange rate are hidden inside the pig feeds.
So you want to investigate where the money went?
In these 20 years, the PM has exploited a total of 13.8 billion from the aids.
That money should be stored in one spot.
He can't deposit it in a bank. The money is probably hidden somewhere.
If we can find that, we will be able to spoil the plans of the PM
and Kurukome, the Prime Minister Manipulator.
Are each and every one of you here...
Trying to follow Myochin-kun's footsteps?!
No. You're wrong.
I'm sure you're thinking the same thing as we are deep in your heart.
You want to avenge Mole, and find out the truth.
I'm stumped.
With you spelling out my feelings just like that.
It's here.
"Do clean up the pen properly,"
"and prepare the important feed. "
Are those cleaners really transporting the money out?
It's highly possible that they hid the money in the van
in order to avoid detection.
The question is, "Where is the money going. "
Where are they heading?
They entered the underground car park.
That's not the Official Residence.
Let's go!
This is strange. There's nothing here.
There's only one entrance/exit here.
- Now... - Get off the car!
Why are you snatching my lines? Oi!
- Hold on! - Over here.
Listen, I'm the boss. I'll give the orders!
- Shhh - Sorry.
Why are you telling me to quiet down!
- You came too? - What? I'm always here.
It's a dead end.
We really lost sight of them.
How did this happen?
What is behind this door?
Probably a storehouse or something.
"Underground mail, Route 7"
It was closed in 1966.
Look at this.
Tire tracks.
Wasn't the door closed long ago? Why are there tire tracks here?
That underground route is a underground passage, right?
Underground mail route... Underground electrical route...
All these were laid out before the war, around the Kasumigaseki, and Oote town district.
And used for communication.
I didn't know we had such passages underground.
What a surprise... Look at this.
At the station in front of Congress, the subway is six floors deep.
There's also an underground expressway above the subway.
Does that underground route still exist?
No idea. But, this is a list of the budget required in the past,
to fill up or demolish that hole.
On the contrary, it takes an even larger sum to fortify the underground.
I've heard that that area was a bomb shelter in the past.
It's also a secret passage used for emergency evacuation by big-shots.
That reminds me of the many underground passages under the Official Residence.
- Those exist? - Those exist?
Yes. One of the passages is an open secret.
Only the visiting congress members, and reporters use them.
Another passage is an express way connecting the parking lot to the Shuto expressway.
I have no idea about the rest.
Which means that there's a underground passage behind that door.
And the cleaning van went through that passage?
What are you doing?
From that building...
The van can travel along the passage like this...
All the way to the Official Residence.
Okay! Let's go.
Okay! Open up!
1, 2...
This is pretty deep.
Why are we using bicycles?!
We have no idea how deep this passage is.
We'll be in trouble if we are unable to turn back if we met a dead end.
- I see. - I have piles.
You're making me laugh.
Everyone! Pedal! Pedal hard!
Full speed ahead!
Tecchan, are we there yet?
Turn right 600m ahead.
Turn right at the next junction.
Turn left there.
Got it.
Turn right.
It's a door.
We're right under the Official Residence.
Okay. Open up!
- I'm opening it. - Okay.
How many flights of stairs are there?
How would I know?
Stop whining. Hurry up and climb.
Don't overtake me.
I can't open it.
All this locks... We're probably at the PM or Chief Cabinet Secretary Office.
- Move! Watch me. - What! What!
- Can you open it? - Lock picking?
Why do you know that?
- People pick up many different talents in life. - Many different talents?
Leave that aside. Hurry up, or the PM will be back.
- Hurry up! - Shut up! Don't bother me!
I can't concentrate. Geez!
Ah... it opened.
Great. Move.
It's open.
This is...
This is the hiding place of the money.
There's probably 10 billion here.
Pumpkin Squash. Did you record this down properly?
Of course.
Oh my, it's you guys.
The last boss finally showed up.
We know the PM's schedule.
But we don't know his schedule.
I see. I see.
So this place is your den.
Commissioner Kurume. You wanted this money all along?
You're wrong.
He won't be satisfied with this petty sum of money.
His aim is the National budget of 92 trillion. Am I right?
That's right.
Give me that camera.
The police in the Official Residence are on their way here.
If we refuse to, you're going to report us to the police, aren't you?
If you obey my orders, I'll let you guys off.
What's your choice?
Tecchan. Give it to him.
Since you're here. Please come with me.
Where are we?
The office of the Minister Secretary.
I always thought that door was an emergency exit.
That was an emergency escape route in the first place.
Come.
- This is? - The Prime Minister Office.
Make yourself comfortable.
You're here.
Why are you guys here?!
We're merely here to take back the money that you ripped off, aren't we?
You saw the money?
Sir, I was wrong.
Everyone has a different sense of justice. However, none of them are
built upon another's sacrifice.
A greenhorn who can't even take a single responsibility has no right to defy me.
You're wrong!
Exposing your fraud is his way of taking responsibility.
You have no way out. It's the end.
Either you let us, the Board of Audit, expose your secret,
or you let Kurume-san seize your power.
That's why you guys made a wise choice.
By choosing to work under me.
Is that so?
Since we already sent it out.
To WeTube.
Mobile phones nowadays are really powerful.
His aim is the National budget of 92 trillion. Am I right?
That's right.
Pumpkin Squash.
Naturally, the conversation with the PM is also known by the whole world.
You saw the money?
Sent.
- Give me that. - It has already been uploaded.
Ah... how can this...
I walked right into your trap.
Can I ask? What did you want to achieve by doing all this?
This country is like a ship on the verge of sinking.
However, the bureaucrats are still partying on that ship.
I want to turn Japan into a strong country.
To do this, I have to purge it of old-fashioned politicians and bureaucrats,
and build a new country.
You call that, serving the country?
Or else, Japan will lose.
All thanks to the fools of a bureaucrat who proclaim us as an economic power.
Without any resources and talent, we'll turn into a poor country before long.
I say you're simply thinking too much!
Your methods are already outdated.
These guys here, are moving forward step by step in their own ways.
Instead of lecturing them,
You should just hurry up and pass Japan to the youngsters.
Don't worry. Japan won't lose.
We will recover no matter how many failures we meet.
That's us, right, Tecchan?
Absolutely.
Single Perm.
- Firstly, the money the PM snatched. - Got it.
Firstly, the political funds you created using the ODA.
For 20 years, the excess created from exchange rate was
1.8 + 0.9 + 3.6 billion
Plus the amount recorded here for the remaining 17 years.
Equals 13.8 billion.
Plus the 0.1 billion cash of gratitude from Tamalia for 20 years. Totaling 2 billion.
A total of 15.8 billion. (about 190 million USD)
Please return the cash saved, bit by bit by the citizens, back to the Golden Pig.
Including...
The 92 trillion yen you took as hostage from the citizen's golden pig.
Please return that back too.
Return...
Our money.
Kurukome.
Can I ask you one last thing?
- Why me? - Um?
I understand that, to deal with a thief, you have to counter with one.
But there are many more better fellows out there who are fearless too.
A long, long time ago.
I was saved by a middle schooler.
I was going to throw my life away then, just like Kudo-kun.
Oi!
Choosing to throw your life away is too wasteful!
She was an interesting kid.
A really interesting kid.
That's all.
I have a lot I want to tell you.
It's a pity...
But I have nothing to talk to you about anymore.
Please wait.
If the media knows about this case, your criminal record will also go public.
Your parole will be revoked.
And you will be charged in court once again.
- Hold on, Commissioner Kurume... - Don't worry.
I have already made up my mind.
I will turn myself in.
I don't care what other thinks. I will do what I think is right.
So... It's okay.
You heard it. The 2nd Unit foiled the plans of Commissioner Kurume,
and brought the illegal aid funds usage of the PM to light.
From now on, the Special Investigation Division will
Go all out and investigate the Prime Minister Office, Cabinet Secretariat, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
- Even one yen of misuse is not to be overlooked. - Yes!
We have been turning a blind eye all along.
If we don't,
everyone will lose their rice bowl.
But...
Let's all try, for a change.
Okay. Go!
Okay. Let's go.
We're from the Board of Audit.
They just went in. People from the Board of Audit, just went into the Official Residence.
Congress has given their approval for an investigation
because of this video, which was uploaded on WeTube.
Thanks to the video, the Board of Audit has started their investigation.
Request has been made to PM Kashinaga to question him.
Congress has also requested to bring in the PM as a witness.
The Prime Minister's Official Residence was searched.
And a sum of more than 10 billion of unknown origins was found.
Furthermore, the cash seems to be set aside
as election funds for the PM political group.
Every member can receive an average of 100 million...
The arrest of the PM is all over the headlines.
That's only natural. At any rate, he is the Prime Minister.
On the other hand... this.
No one would ever know that...
These 2 cases are related.
But, we know.
The importance of this trivial report.
What a surprise. Who knew that she is
a marriage swindler who swindled you once.
Don't say that, ever again!
Well... the 2nd unit has been revived. What's left is...
- Mizore. - What?
His mole...
What?
- Looks like a bean. - Huh?
Can I press it?
You can't.
- But... - No.
- My hands are itching. - A no is a no!
Don't!
Mom. Shinko-ne left me a message.
She wants me to pass this to you.
She also said, "Thanks".
Move this over there.
- Why? - Don't ask. Just do it.
What are you doing? Tell me.
I promised her.
If she managed to work for 3 months, I would do a handstand and walk down the street.
What? Hold on...
It wasn't 3 months. It was just 2 months.
I know that. But, what she done is worth praising.
After all she been through.
Here I go! There's nothing I can't do.
You must be kidding.
You di... Wait, Mom!
- I'm not there yet. - Stop. Stop that. It's dangerous.
- Leave me alone. I want to do it. - Seriously...
- Here I go! Ah... Ouchhhh. - Seriously...
- I told you didn't I? - Ouchhhh...
Don't worry. I'm sure your feelings will reach her.
- I'm trying one more time. - Huhhhh? Wait...
- Here I go! Grab my legs. - Your legs is not coming up.
1 year later
Feels refreshing!
The air smells fresh outside.
Um?
Welcome back! <3
What... What is it?
Shinko-ne.
- Welcome back. - Must've been hard on you.
- Let's go. - Where to?
- Your double perms are waiting. - Ohh...
- Get on. Get on. Get on. - Hey. Wadcha doing?
Try entering that place on your own someday.
That's not a bad idea.
But it's now time to determine victory or defeat.
Right. Which one of us will Shinko-san call out to first?
This is really silly.
It's silly, but we're serious.
- Get it? - I see.
It's been a long time. I have no idea which is which.
I'm returning you the money I borrowed.
What?
You got it wrong!
- What! I did it on purpose. - Liar!
This is the 48k saved up working for 4k monthly in the prison.
- Here you go. - That's not enough!
Isn't that fine? You can always give me a discount.
- What discount! I lent you 1.13 million... - Manager.
Oh ya.
I have something to tell you today.
I...
li... lik... lik...
Ahhhh. Eat it.
So sour. That's not what I wanted to say!
What are you trying to do!
- Greetings. That's my greetings. - What kind of greetings was that!
- You're too noisy. That sounds fine to me. - Enough ,enough...
Welcome back.
- I'm back. - Yes!
Let me say that too. Why are you so happy!
I'm back.
- Mole? - Long time no see.
Thanks to you guys, everything cleared up.
I'm now back, as the Chief of the Special Investigation Division, Board of Audit.
You are also...
Starting from square one, together with me.
This drama is a fiction using the Board of Audit as theme.
And created using cases which happened in reality.
Many cases of frauds which appear impossible have happened.
From now on, the Board of Audit will continue serving the citizens.
