AIBOU: X-DAY (相棒シリーズ X DAY)

Wow, that's a big one. -Painful piles?

Hey!

He cut himself. -What?

Guard.

Chief.

Quick.

Guard. Chief. -What is it?

Move.

He joined their cult... -Shut up.

No one here saw it coming?

Take him to isolation for scarification.

Don't fight, it will be worse.

Let me see.

Let me see the wound.

No medical care? Suit yourself.

Shoes.

Calm down.

Another scarification.

The third this month.

This behavior is spreading like a virus.

We need to get rid Of the guru quickly.

Let's move Umezu Genpei to another facility.

Umezu is responsible for that viral violence.

I wish he died already. -What?

His heart condition, he doesn't have long left.

That would be a relief.

Sorry, I got carried away. ...

You just said aloud what all the guards think.

Shimada, please sit down.

Sorry.

Guard: Tashiro.

You're reading a serious book as usual.

It's 'The Tale of Genji'.

Well, it's kinda' naughty literature.

... If I may request...

I'd like to use a wet towel to freshen up.

Is that possible?

The regulation doesn't permit it.

I get it, forget I asked.

It's okay just this once.

Let's make it quick. -Sorry to bother you.

Spending a week in Europe?

Someone's having a good time.

I wanna get outa here.

I don't know how you guys got me.

Let me outa here... You.

You, I'll never forget your face.

And for that, I'm honored.

Well said.

I can't tell you how much we appreciate this.

Honestly, we'd threw in the towel.

The pleasure is all mine.

You have to use your brain or it will rust.

This was a good mental exercise for me.

Thank you so much. -That is nothing.

Why don't you move to England for good?

We can put you to work.

It would be a part-time contract at first.

Well, that's certainly tempting.

It could be fun.

Prepare for inspection.

Attention.

Cell one. Counting.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Cell one, 6.

Cell 17, count.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Cell 17, 6.

About face.

2 steps forward.

Face the exit.

Hands higher. Stay in line.

1, 2, 3!

1, 2, 3, 4.

1, 2, 3, 4! Stay in line.

Good morning.

Taking a break?

Good morning. -Good morning.

I might as well tell you.

You can take your machine over there.

This one?

I feel for you guys, having to line up here all day.

You have a point, however...

it's really not worth the trouble.

But maybe we're bothering you.

You don't like to see our faces.

No need to think that far.

Then it's all good, isn't it?

After all, we're old acquaintances.

True that. -Sure.

I might as well tell you.

Yes.

Don't be so polite with me.

Especially, since you're older.

You have a good point.

But you see, I consider you as a guest.

I don't mean any offense by 'guest'.

True That.

Please.

Yes.

I'd like to go #1.

The regulation says only during a break.

Please forgive me.

Let it not happen again.

Nobody moves.

It's an emergency.

Tashiro.

Tashiro.

Mikura, bastard.

Why did you do that?

He's confirmed dead.

He bled to death.

We open a murder investigation.

Call the police.

I talk only to the police.

What?

It's our ward, our jurisdiction.

We'll send your statement to the prosecutor.

Only to the police...

What? Don't take us for a ride.

He doesn't trust the prison staff, right?

He believes whatever he says will be held against him.

You mean?

What he'll say may challenge their position.

It can be expected.

Is that a conjoint investigation with the police?

No need to use such big words.

We'll cooperate with the police.

Can't avoid it.

It seems he won't speak without the police.

That's what he says.

He's got some balls.

Are you on a break?

The police would like you to help with the investigation.

Don't you mean that you offered them my help?

Let me be the judge of what needs to be done.

That said, Kaburagi Wataru...

will participate as an observer.

Since the Ministry of Justice...

holds the prisons within its jurisdiction.

His help will be precious.

I'm Kaburagi.

They told you about me?

We heard someone from the Ministry of Justice...

would be joining us.

We know, you guys team with the National Police...

But with us, the Metropolitan Police?

Since this crime scene is our jurisdiction...

we thought we might join in.

We're please to team with you and hear your angle.

And the other way around too...

we may want to ask you questions.

Please do.

There used to be a devil in your office.

A devil?

Get in.

Sit.

Sit.

Itami from the Metropolitan Police.

I'm Serizawa. - I'm Kaburagi.

Where's your police badge?

Please start.

So your intention was to kill?

I went for the carotid.

Why did you kill the guard Tashiro?

Because he killed Mr. Umezu.

What? -Who's Umezu?

Umezu Gempei.

That Umezu Gempei who died in prison last week?

Right.

He died of sickness.

No, Tashiro killed him and I avenged him.

Your opinions are uncalled for.

That's too bad.

Alright then, we'll investigate thoroughly.

He won't trust you, you're not motivated to investigate.

Well, too bad, again. How would you know?

We've only started with the statement.

You haven't heard it and you promise already.

Empty words, I'm sure.

You want to trick him with your fake sympathy.

You say Umezu didn't die of sickness but was murdered.

How do you know that?

So, if we want to get to the bottom of the case...

We should question them first.

Obviously.

Who told you it was a murder?

Umezu himself, he told me.

How could he know it was Tashiro...

before he was killed?

No, he told me after he'd been killed.

After?

At night, I heard him loud and clear.

"Tashiro killed me", he said.

You mean his ghost said he'd been killed?

Do I hear you well?

Exactly.

But I can't say exactly if it was a ghost.

Your investigation just took an abrupt turn.

Whoever said "The dead can't talk" hadn't heard that one.
