"Kimoto-san?" "!" "Numata Yoshimi is the murderer." "After graduating high school in Yamanashi, Numata Yoshimi enrolled in night classes at a prefectural college of science on a scholarship." "After graduating and working in the private sector for 2 years, she came to forensics as a physicist." "She's a fanatical stalker." "She became me and did the things I was likely to do." "She read my essay and was killing the people who were found not guilty under the insanity plea." "Why are we getting targeted?" "The object of the murder shifted." "Being surrounded by incompetent subordinates and superior," "I'm the one who has the urge to kill." "She intends to kill you guys for me." "Emergency deployment should be activated." "That's just a conjecture." "There's no proof yet that it's Numata Yoshimi." "Listen." "If a member of forensics should happen to be the serial murderer, the top's head will fly." "Until conclusive evidence is found, only the Incident Response Team will investigate with caution." "There were flowers in front of my house too." "I sent them to forensics." "Thank goodness you're safe." "WTF, who the heck does she think she is." "Why the hell should I get targeted." "I say, I'll take her on anytime." "Come on." "What's this?" "Gee." "What's a bulletproof vest doing here." "That darn murderer's getting pretty cocky, huh?" "." "Shall I be the decoy and" "do her in instead?" "What's this?" "Gosh!" "Why is this here?" "What's this!" "It's an iron plated wig." "I'll be safe if I get shot in the head." "Where is it sold?" "Nakano Broadway." "What if you get shot in the chest?" "Oh, you're right." "Hanagata-kun, let be borrow this." "No." "You can't." "Calm down, you guys." "Anyway, Numata's planning to kill the subordinates" "that I don't like." "I love you to bits, Boss." "That's not the point." "It's a belated congratulatory gift" "for your reappointment." "I'm telling you, I don't hate any of you." "Where's Kimoto and Tadokoro?" "Excuse me." "You're here." "I'm safe, aren't I?" "I didn't get any flowers either." "Everyone, hang tough." "Sender Osawa Eriko?" "Kimoto!" "Electrocardiogram and heart rate?" "Kimoto?" "Osawa-san?" "I'm glad I finally get to talk to you." "What about Kimoto?" "Where is she?" "You know, I was happy that you were thinking about me." "You're the one who had me assigned to the Incident Response Team, aren't you?" "Me, who wasn't working on anything worthwhile." "That's why..." "That's why I told myself I should work hard." "From the day I got the reassignment notification, I worked hard to kill them." "Listen, you!" "But I'm sorry." "I actually planned to do more, but your incompetent subordinates were too annoying." "So for your sake," "I figured maybe I'd go ahead and do them first." "Where's Kimoto?" "She's alright." "I won't let her die easily." "I had it figured out when I shot her." "I sent you her heart rate, didn't I?" "She's the reason you got transferred." "I'll have to make her pay the price." "That's not true!" "Let's enjoy it together." "The sound of her heart breaking." "Bye then." "Hello?" "Hello?" "The bullet hasn't been found." "The damage is greater if the bullet stays in the body rather than go through it." "Numata used the gel to meticulously calculate from what distance and where to shoot to her maximize her suffering." "What a bitch." "It's true that the day after Numata got her reassignment notification the first victim, Onizuka-san, was killed." "Isn't this all your fault?" "You got Kimoto involved again..." "I know that!" "But we don't have time to be arguing about that now." "You're going to have to take responsibility for this." "I understand." "Anyway, we're going to rescue Kimoto." "I am not going to let my subordinate die no matter what." "Go." "Walk steady." "What?" "Go in." "Hey, that hurts." "Sit there." "Sit." "They're e-mails from the murderer." "Use these to track down the location of the murderer's computer." "It's probably got several layers of security." "Now that Kimoto isn't here, you're the only one who can do it." "Get it done within 30 minutes." "Are you trying to make me help you with your investigation?" "You expect me to cooperate with you guys who made my dad like that?" "I don't give a crap about that!" "Just remember that you disgraced your father with what you did." "You ruined everything your father dedicated his whole life to doing with pride." "I..." "If things stay as is, you'll be arrested for obstruction of performance of duty." "A person's life is at stake!" "Just like that time your father was shot." "This time, you're the one who can do the saving." "Kimoto-san's cell phone's turned off so the location can't be tracked." "Also, the coat left behind by Numata has just arrived." "I'll search for any minute substance." "Thanks." "Hurry." "The restaurants and bars that Boss goes to." "Numata's been seen at practically all of them." "From clothes to accessories like cell phone straps, and even the food, she copied you completely." "We couldn't get any eyewitness testimonies." "We don't know where Kimoto was taken." "Kimoto-san..." "Does it hurt?" "I'm sorry." "Is it an owie?" "The Incident Response Team..." "What?" "I can't hear you." "Can you speak clearly?" "The Incident Response Team... will never be defeated by someone like you." "Because we're a team." "Then let's have that team show me how capable they are." "It's declining." "What happened?" "There's no time." "Idiot." "A person's life is at stake!" "Just like the time when your father was shot." "Change this 'if equal' to 'go to.'" "From around here, fill it in with NOP." "You found out what the minute substance is?" "Yes." "In the pocket of the coat left by Numata-san," "I found metal pieces." "And?" "It was a bottle cap." "Well done." "Do a thorough search for bottle cap factories." "Kimoto's somewhere in that area." "Travel time-wise, it's close to the city." "Got it." "If I void the self-validating routine..." "Yes!" "Huh?" "Look." "If I can figure out the PIN, I can take over the Botnet." "Then I can find out the location of the computer too." "Do you have any idea?" "How about my birthday, then." "Wait." "A logic bomb might have been inserted." "If we make the wrong move, we might get hit with an IP ban and be denied access." "We don't have time." "We won't be able to save Kimoto." "Think of another method." "How did it go?" "We found one." "Nippon Crown Manufacturing." "It's an abandoned building now." "That's it." "Yamamura-san, Iwai, go." "It's Kimoto-san's cell phone." "Numata's on the phone." "Track down the location with GPS." "Hello." "Your subordinate's pretty spirited." "She gave me lip, so I gave her a beating." "What?" "!" "Don't worry." "She's not dead yet." "She's moving." "Is Kimoto there?" "She's not with me, but I'm watching her from my cell phone." "Let me see a video of Kimoto." "That would be impossible." "If I showed you a video, you'd be able to track down all kinds of things." "What's your purpose?" "Purpose?" "You know what it is." "Remember?" "You don't like them." "Kimoto nor your other subordinates." "You said you felt the urge to kill them." "I'll get rid of everything that gets in your way." "So you just go back to being the real you." "The real me?" "2 years ago when you made that mistake, you were in the dumps, weren't you?" "That's why you looked dispirited." "I know that feeling too." "What do you know?" "I know." "Because..." "I'm you." "So you committed the murders on my behalf?" "Yes." "Didn't you say you can't forgive them?" "Those guys who committed heinous crimes but were found not guilty." "I never said anything that extreme." "It's alright." "I understand." "Got it." "I killed them on your behalf." "This is justice." "Yamamura and Iwai should be arriving at the factory soon." "I see." "So that's what it was." "Isn't her subordinate dying?" "Why doesn't she ask about that?" "If she asks, she'll know that we're concerned." "That gives the murderer the upper hand." "You have to listen first in this type of negotiation." "We need to understand her thought process." "It's in the direction of Takaido." "Speed up." "Got it." "I heard from your supervisor that you do your job well." "You also have superior skills." "You received several Director's awards." "What triggered you to start this?" "You've piqued by my curiosity." "We're almost there." "We're catching up." "Like this research you did on marks on fired bullets." "I used it quite a bit as a reference." "Even in forensics, there aren't too many people who can do what you did." "That's the one!" "I'd sure like to talk with you in person." "I want to understand you better." "I'm sure we can learn from each other if we met." "You're indeed Osawa-san." "You're different from the other idiots." "The other idiots who don't matter if they die..." "It's a trap!" "OMG!" "Things are getting outrageous." "The Superintendent General's head's going to fly for sure." "I'm deploying SIT (Special Investigation Team)!" "Numata will be found and if she resists, she'll be shot to death immediately." "But Kimoto is in her hands." "If she's killed, Kimoto will die." "You're right." "I have an idea." "Allow me to take command." "First and foremost, we have to bring Kimoto back alive." "Are you directing me?" "No." "I'm asking you, Chief Superintendent Tanba." "I will take all responsibility." "This was found in the parked vehicle." "What is this?" "So she was talking to us by placing a call from this to the Incident Response Office," "and used a different cell phone to call in to this?" "Yes." "The cell phone that Numata was using was found too." "Tadokoro, can you analyze the cell phone." "Yes." "We almost got killed too." "Can't we track the location using that Rossmo's theory?" "That's impossible." "Not enough samples." "So there's nothing we can do, huh?" "It's from a pay phone!" "Trace the call." "Got it." "Osawa-san?" "It's me." "This is Counselor Nodate." "I had Osawa Eriko step down." "Hereafter, I will take command." "I will be negotiating with you." "What's your demand?" "What are you talking about?" "Get Osawa-san on the phone." "No." "She is to be blamed for this chain of events." "She will never return to the field again." "I'm holding a meeting at the Press Center." "Your mug shot will be made public and distributed to the entire police force." "Do you understand what's going to happen to Kimoto?" "Let me make one thing clear." "Your arrest has priority over Kimoto's life." "That means we're prepared to do whatever it takes to arrest you." "Get Osawa-san on the phone!" "No." "She brought on this incident." "There's no way I can let her take command." "That aside, what's your demand..." "Did you trace the call?" "No." "What are you planning to do?" "We're going to lure Numata out." "What?" "!" "I'm having Kurohara-san post massive false tweets on Twitter as well." "The most distressful thing for Numata is not being able to contact me." "She won't forgive Nodate who did that." "She'll come to kill him for sure." "We'll get her then." "But still." "We have no other options." "Hey." "You haven't found her yet?" "Back and forth, back and forth." "All you've been saying is "Crap." "Crap." You're getting on my nerves." "Are you sure there's no explosive?" "This site was determined by us." "She wouldn't have time to set anything up." "Are you wearing that seriously or because you've lost it?" "I'm serious!" "He's serious." "Do you think she'll come?" "This Press Room's open not to only the press club, but to freelance journalists as well." "In other words, anyone can come in." "She'll be here." "Go ahead." "Thank you." "Please go in if you've signed in." "Excuse me." "It's time." "Thank you for waiting." "We will now begin the press conference." "She's got to be here." "I'd like to express my appreciation to all of you for being here in spite of the short notice." "I'm Nodate, the counselor for the Criminal Investigation Bureau, MPD." "Our intent today was to give you a report on the Minato-ku serial murders and the progress of our investigation, however, the case of the imprisonment of a detective by the serial murderer just got resolved, so" "I will be reporting on that case instead." "The imprisoned detective was rescued safely." "We at the Criminal Investigation Bureau are of the opinion that the serial murders and this kidnap/imprisonment of the detective were committed by the same criminal." "We believe that the motive and circumstances leading to these incidents will become clear shortly." "Where?" "Where is she!" "The..." "The circumstances leading to the kidnap/imprisonment of the detective is as follows." "2 days ago, from approximately 3 pm, the whereabouts of the MPD detective investigating the serial murders became unknown and..." "Yesterday..." "Yesterday around noon, a person believed to be the murderer...er... believed to be the murderer notified us that the detective was kidnapped..." "Hot, hot..." "No way!" "Numata-san!" "Numata-san!" "I'm sorry we resorted to such a ridiculous method." "I won't tell you to come out right now." "I want the two of us to get together." "I swear I'll come alone." "So..." "So... please call me." "Who would've thought she'd come as a policewoman." "Damn!" "What are we supposed to do." "The heart rate's steadily declining." "Kimoto-san." "Trace the call." "Got it." "Hello." "Osawa-san?" "Yes." "I finally reached you." "Let's meet and talk." "Are you afraid you might get caught?" "Are you kidding?" "They're all fools who didn't even notice that I was there in the middle of all the police officers." "Except you." "Then it shouldn't be a problem, right?" "Alright." "Come to Hibiya Park in 30 minutes." "If by chance anyone from the police is there, I'm going to kill them as soon as I find them." "Osawa Eriko is a person who keeps her promise, right?" "Don't betray my trust." "It's a pay phone." "The local police is on its way." "It's too dangerous to see Numata by yourself." "You never know what she's going to do." "Numata admires, idolizes, and respects me." "As long as I don't do anything to taint that image, she won't lay a hand on me." "In fact, when I shielded you" "she missed the target." "But still..." "Numata wants to talk about herself." "Self monitoring." "By making her talk" "I may be able to make her acknowledge the situation she's in and get her to tell us where she's hiding Kimoto's." "What if you can't?" "That..." "I'll think about that then!" "You guys." "It's riskier if someone followed me." "She's anticipating that someone will follow me by tracking the GPS on my cell and will use all possible methods." "You know that, and you're still going?" "She's probably just thinking that it's a quick and easy way to kill anyone that follows me." "On the other hand, our hands are tied until we find out Kimoto's location." "Whether we arrest her or threaten her with a gun," "Numata's not going to 'fess up until Kimoto dies!" "Well, go alone then." "Iwai-san!" "We'll keep on searching for leads on Kimoto's whereabouts." "When you get right down to it, you're the one who started this whole thing." "We have no intention of sacrificing ourselves for you anymore." "Right, guys?" "That's good." "Hey." "It's not that simple." "With stalker types you don't know what might trigger their feeling to hatred." "Numata's already crossed the line." "Maybe she's planning to kill Boss and herself too." "Kimoto's dying." "We're not comrades if we don't go to save her." "We'll rescue Kimoto no matter what." "I'll be alright." "I'll find out Kimoto's location and come back safely." "That's who I am." "Kurohara." "I did as told, but..." "The success rate is less than 20 percent." "What, it's that high?" "You like Mont blanc and assam tea, don't you?" "Your guys aren't here, are they?" "I'll keep my promise." "I'm glad to hear that." "If I press 9 on the cell phone, the 5 kg plastic bomb I planted here will explode." "What about Kimoto?" "Is she safe?" "It hasn't reached zero yet." "She's hanging in there." "Oh, but the waveforms are getting irregular." "She may not make it." "This..." "What's going on?" "Kimoto-san's heart rate is becoming irregular." "You mean the time's finally come?" "Kimoto-san." "Wait a sec." "We've talked enough about that woman." "Let's just enjoy our time together." "Morse code." "She's interlocking the signals from the EKG and heart rate monitors to send Morse codes." "She hasn't given up yet." "She hasn't given up." "What's it saying?" "I saw your background." "I was impressed." "That when there are so many arrogant people who do well only on written exams, there's someone who went through so much hardship." "What are you talking about?" "Your father passed away when you were 3." "I'm saying that there aren't too many people who went through that much hardship to enter the police force." "That's why you can understand other people's suffering too." "In spite of that, your boss didn't recognize you." "Because you were in that kind of environment, you looked up to me, who looked glamorous compared to the other women at MPD." "Am I wrong?" "H-E-R-E..." "C-H-I-B-A..." "Chiba?" "!" "Kimoto-san!" "You're right." "I asked him several times to let me work on bigger jobs." "But all my boss gave me were odd jobs that even rookies can do." "You were given odd jobs?" "Even though you're so capable?" "That's why I wanted to feel reinvigorated." "Saying what I wanted to say like you." "Having nothing to fear." "Is that why you did it?" "But how many people died because of that?" "Was it necessary to kill them?" "She isn't responding now." "The heart rate's rapidly declining." "Shit!" "There's no time!" "Kimoto's dying." "We're not comrades if we don't go to save her." "At any rate, let's head towards Chiba." "Got it!" "Alright." "Let's go!" "If Eriko finds out anything, I'll let you know." "Got it!" "It's not too late." "If it was me, I'd do the right thing and atone for the my crimes." "And then I'd start over." "You're me, aren't you?" "Excuse me." "Do you have a minute?" "I reconstructed Numata-san's credit card statement." "Alright." "Go towards Narashino." "Got it!" "Understood." "We'll head towards Narashino." "Got it!" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I..." "I..." "Everyone makes mistakes." "The question is how you get back on your feet." "That's enough, isn't it?" "Will you tell me where Kimoto's at?" "We don't have any time." "Please!" "Just as I thought." "Was that the so-called self monitoring?" "Make the perpetrator lay bare his heart and heighten his feeling of guilt." "It's a common practice, but is that all you could think of?" "I'm disappointed." "If so, you've been completely defeated by me." "Come on." "Did you think I'd fall for something like that?" "I wouldn't have killed this many people if that was the case." "Do you want to save your subordinate that much?" "Osawa Eriko isn't that kind of person, is she?" "Aren't you the kind of person to abandon incompetent subordinates and fight for bigger justice?" "Don't disappoint me anymore." "What do you know!" "Considering the travel time, it can't be too far from the interchange." "Search out abandoned buildings, factory remains, or anything like that around the interchange." "But!" "Where do we start?" "There's way too many." "The time..." "That's it." "That's how Osawa Eriko should be." "You gotta come fiercely at me like that!" "You shouldn't be sucking up to a murderer." "But let me warn you, I'm not telling you the location no matter what." "She won't last much longer anyway." "See." "But gotta give her credit, she hung on." "Anyway, can't do anything about a dead person." "Let's eat the rest of our cake." "But isn't this cell phone well made?" "Everything, even the color, is same as yours." "I refuse to believe that Kimoto died." "I really don't want to see Osawa Erika acting like this." "What can you do!" "Kimoto is dead!" "Where's the proof?" "The heart rate?" "Do you expect me to believe that thing?" "I'll show you her video." "See." "She's not moving anymore." "Get a hold of yourself, Osawa-san!" "What are you doing, getting all shook up just because a subordinate died?" "Well?" "I entered the PIN 0630." "The location is Narashino City, Naka-Hanami." "It's an abandoned factory." "It matches Numata's ETC* records." "(*Electronic Toll Collection)" "Everyone go to the scene." "I'll send an ambulance as well." "Hurry!" "I'll be there later too." "What happened?" "What are you saying?" "Kimoto's...alive." "The video and e-mail you sent to the Incident Response Team through your computer." "We tried to use those to track down the location of the computer, that is, Kimoto's location, but we just couldn't figure out the PIN for the last step." "So I started thinking." "You're watching the video from your cell phone." "Naturally, you'd enter your PIN when you do." "We were waiting for you to enter the PIN." "Oh no!" "It's not exploding, huh?" "Fooled ya." "That's actually my cell phone." "I swapped it a little while ago." "Without telling you." "My cell phone's connected to the computer in the Incident Response Office." "And so, if you enter the PIN, lo and behold, we're able to track down Kimoto's location, but..." "Did you, by any chance, press it?" "Thank goodness you copied everything about me, right down to my personal effects." "But the cell phone strap." "That was the bottleneck." "I bought two of them, black and white." "I didn't know which one you were using." "So we set you up at the Press Room." "That place has a whole bunch of surveillance cameras." "Did you know that?" "You were going to show up there in whatever form, no matter what." "So we bluffed by announcing that Kimoto was rescued." "So that you'd pull out your cell phone to confirm it." "I thought maybe I could pick up the PIN too, but of course, that was impossible." "You held the press conference for that purpose?" "I told you, Kimoto's heart rate is on this one." "We processed that video too." "Why does he want to wear something on his head every chance he gets?" "I'm Kimoto~" "You've changed." "Osawa Eriko wasn't the kind of person to do such absurd things." "Why, I rather like it." "In fact, I really get into it." "Oh dear!" "You didn't know?" "You're not Osawa Eriko anymore!" "From today, I... will be Osawa Eriko." "Don't move!" "2 shots to the chest using the double tap technique." "As I expected, you even copied my shooting technique." "Thank goodness for that." "Well done, Kimoto." "Thanks for hanging in there." "I knew." "I knew you'd come for me." "That you'd find me no matter what." "May we go?" "I see." "Alright." "I entrust my daughter to you, Osawa-kun." "Yes." "Arresting the murderer with a broken rib." "That's our Boss." "Morning." "Good morning." "Yama-mu." "Kurohara Rika-san." "She's on probation." "I'll be taking care of her." "Remember." "If you don't work diligently, you're going to end up disgracing your father." "Good job with the shredder." "I'm impressed by your tenacity." "I did yours too while I was at it." "Here." "I heard another Boss look-alike appeared." "Who was it?" "Who said she looked just like me?" "I'd say she's more like a smaller version of Matsuko Deluxe*. (Japanese columnist and transvestite entertainer)" "Ow!" "How did you know?" "We're busy!" "Your bra strap's showing through!" "Ouch!" "Let me go." "Nee-san, you're hurting me." "So you're still alive?" "You guys are persistent, aren't you?" "She's the worst." "She used me as a decoy, you know." "Anyway, it's a good thing the murderer was arrested, thanks to me." "You didn't do anything." "You were just stroking your beard." "I know you're using beard enhancement." "I am not." "Okay, I've had enough of PIPO and PIPA's comic dialog." "I still have work to do." "What?" "You're not going drinking with us, PIPI?" "Do you have a stomach ache, PIPI?" "Huh?" "PIPI." "A politician's secretary is busy." "He's calling for me." "See ya." "Okay, later." "As I pretend to leave, here, Golden Chikuwa." "What?" "Can I have it?" "I'll let you have it." "Really?" "Take it." "Yes!" "Thanks." "See you." "Yes." "They just left." "Yes." "Osawa Eriko, right?" "No problem." "She hasn't noticed anything yet." "I understand." "I'll take care of it with my own hands."
