Mom!

Mom! Mom!

Father Garai, are you OK?

Hello...?

I'm counting on you, Father

Bangkok, Thailand

Out of the way!

Move!

Subject has reached the payphone.

Everybody is in position.

This is an order from the Captain.

The hostage is a Japanese tourist, a valued benefactor.

Rescuing the hostage is a priority.

They don't seem to need us here...

Something's strange.

The abductor contacted the employer of the hostage's father.

He knew that the company budget profile

has an allowance allocated to offshore crisises.

Not the work of an amateur.

But he could have made it easier.

He could get the money through a Swiss bank. Presto!

You think he has other motives?

Damn, it's so hot in here.

Someone is calling the payphone.

A call!

This is Okazaki.

Remove the wire and put it on the phone.

Where's my daughter? Is she safe?

Just take it off and go to Central World Mall.

No, I have to know if she's safe first.

Go up to the rooftop and find a phone.

What about my daughter?

You have 5 minutes. 1 second late and she's gone.

Wait a minute!

Could you trace it?

It's underway.

I got it.

Location?

He's in Tokyo.

That's impossible.

Subject on his way to the elevators.

Secure the elevator and vicinity.

Arrest anyone who is suspicious.

Hello?

Good. You made it. Take out the hat from the bag.

Put it on.

What about my daughter?

Where is the money?

Here, 100 million yen as instructed.

Show me one of the bundles.

To the top floor of Alexander Hotel in 15 minutes.

Now you have work to do in the elevator.

Okazaki to the elevator. He has a hat.

Secure the elevator hall.

The elevator is almost at the ground floor.

Okazaki's in it.

Catch them!

What the...?

Retrieve the money bag!

The money's gone.

Where's Okazaki?

Lieutenant Sawaki, we don't have the jurisdiction!

Lt. Sawaki!

Report the license plate number!

Requesting a pursuit on a taxi, license plate number TR2324.

Okazaki is in the cab.

I'll go check on the situation up there.

Roger.

What did he say?

He's checking things out.

Wong!

Hey, Wong!

Drop the bag in the laundry chute.

The laundry chute?

To the laundry, now.

Wait for the Squad to arrive. Standby.

A-Team to the laundry, the others come with me.

Freeze!

It's not money, it's newspaper.

Where's the money?

Seal off the hotel!

Excuse me.

Sir.

Your briefcase...

Tachibana, it's him!

You asshole...!

Can you take this too?

No problem.

Damn it!

Anybody here?

I'm Okazaki!

Aiko...?

I'm here!

I'm here alone as instructed.

Where's my girl? Where is she?

Where's my daughter?

Aiko!

What a dramatic reunion.

What's going on, Aiko?

He and I are going to live together.

Have you lost your mind?

Dad, thanks for the 100 million.

This is not funny!

What you're doing is unforgivable!

Huh? Who would be forgiving who?

Hey, put that away.

Don't worry, I won't shoot your father.

Aiko!

How could you...?

How could you be so cruel?

I wasn't sure.

What...?

To kill you before your daughter's eyes...

Or to kill the daughter before your eyes.

You, devil...

Which would be more fun?

I think I made the best choice.

Michio Yuki from L.A. Millennium Bank.

Here are the serial numbers of the ransom money.

Thank you.

The 100 million ransom was ready in just 2 days...

That's unusually fast.

Takebishi Construction is a major client.

The abductor took the money and killed Mr. Okazaki and his daughter.

Why would he do that?

Maybe they knew each other?

An abduction and murder conviction usually means the death penalty.

Do you think it was worth the risk?

Maybe it was a grudge?

Maybe the abductor really just wanted to kill Okazaki...

I can't help you. I'm just a bank employee.

My apologies.

I'm Lt. Sawaki from Tokyo Metro Police.

If anything occurs to you give me a call.

Good morning.

Kyoko, go see the Editor.

The story on the Okazaki case was dropped.

Mita's taking over.

...a newspaper must be aware of its place in the market.

It's probably not appropriate to suggest

that the victim of a kidnap/murder case was

involved in corporate fraud.

Not without verification.

My information comes from a reliable source.

From a fired ex-employee?

That's unfair.

In Japan we value a man's job title.

That's enough.

We're replacing her article with Mita's.

But, Editor!

Calm down, Kyoko. Mita has made a good argument today.

Readers sympathize with the victim so we can't denounce him.

We'll go with Mita, OK?

Are you OK?

This isn't a random kidnap case!

We have to reveal the scandalous truth...

That's not the point.

Mita's just better at manipulating the decision makers.

This isn't about antagonizing the readers!

We're journalists!

But you were taken off the assignment...

I'm not quitting.

There it is!

Last month's dismemberment murder case.

I can write about this, can't I?

What's this about?

There are other approaches to the kidnapping case.

"Search Okino-Mafune Island."

"The dismembered body ID'ed."

This victim and Okazaki are from the same hometown.

That doesn't mean anything.

It does when the population of the island is 600.

"Okino-Mafune Island left deserted."

That was 16 years ago.

Put your trust in the Lord Jesus and confess your sins.

Help me Lord for I have sinned.

I suspect that I took part in a heinous crime.

How can I rid myself of this feeling of guilt?

My best friend is a criminal.

I only learned of his crime later from the newspaper.

-Yuki, stop. -It was a shock.

I couldn't turn him down.

Because the criminal once saved my life.

Yuki.

Thanks, Garai.

You helped me elude the authorities.

You killed him...

I had no choice.

Okazaki recognized who I was.

Don't come here.

Have you forgotten...

the hell we went through to survive?

You have to protect someone.

Mind your own business.

How Mika has grown!

She's a woman now.

-Don't! -Am I being indecent?

It's only the beginning. There's no stopping us.

Am I right?

Uncle Yuki!
