HERO

Katsue Namiki, age 43.

Are you involved with a yakuza member

who was indicted on blackmail charges?

Please answer the question.

Nope.

You're not a yakuza mistress?

I'm a fortune-teller.

A self-professed psychic.

Well then, read my fortune.

Go ahead.

You're...still single.

Easy. No wedding band.

But you recently met someone.

"Huh? "Huh?

Good for you. Your time has finally come.

How can you tell?

Oh my god!

I see your ex in the picture!

Her ex?

Look at your 'fate line"!

It's a hot mess!

Hot mess?

Ridiculous! Detain her!

"Namba Branch"

It's going to be a bloodbath!

Ow! That hurts!

Prosecutor Amamiya! -Yes?

Come here.

She died?

She was hit by a car last night

on a street in Molo Azabu, Tokyo.

She was taken to emergency, but didn't make it.

Ms. Miki!

Josai Branch is calling it a straightforward accident.

That's impossible.

Foul play?

They're questioning the driver tomorrow.

I'm going. Book the first bullet train tomorrow.

Who's the prosecutor?

He's with the Josai Branch...

How do you pronounce this?

May I?

Kuri...

Kuryu!

Prosecutor Kouhei Kuryu.

Can you assign someone else?

I can't do this.

I can't!

A hot mess?

Hot mess?

She's oozing pheromones.

Prosecutor Baba?

She met someone. Really hot.

What?

She was picked up by a younger man.

But I suspect it was the opposite.

Prosecutor Baba becomes a carnivore after dark.

Back to work.

By the way, Mr. Tamura,

I can't help you on the marital fraud case.

I have other plans. So sorry.

What other plans?

Go home early for once and take care of your wife

that looks exactly like Deputy Ushimaru.

Speak of the devil!

Yes! Two mixers back to back! "Mixencom" is the best!

Endo! Search all harassment cases in the last decade!

Yes, sir.

- By tomorrow morning! -Yes, sir!

And what the hell would you call this?

Reiko has a new lover...

A younger man...

I guess Suetsugu will do.

What's the perfect Christmas present?

Huh? What?

Forget it.

- Good morning. -Mr. Kuryu!

Mr. Kuryu! Mr. Kuryu! Come, come.

This is top secret. Top secret.

What's the perfect Christmas present?

Ham?

That's for New Year! What about Christmas?

Sorry, my train was late.

Good morning.

What's with him?

I'll get you coffee.

Hurry. It's freezing.

Good morning.

This is the perfect season for hot-pots.

Snow arrived early in northern Hokkaido...

Prosecutor?

Isn't this it?

"Public Prosecutor's Office Josai Branch"

This is it.

Mr. Kenya Tokumoto.

At 11:03 pm on December 6, 2015

you were driving your car near 7-5 Molo-Azabu,

Minato Ward, Tokyo.

You hit Ms. Saeko Miki, a party escort.

She landed on the hood of your car and fell onto the street.

This was the direct cause of her death.

Is this correct?

Yes.

But she jumped out onto the road.

Want a drink?

Yes, please.

Prosecutor Kuryu.

But he's so depressed. And cold.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Go ahead.

Gift-giving is a form of bribery.

It's an energy drink.

According to the Criminal Procedure Code...

Enough of your statutes!

She's studying for the bar exam.

OK, enough.

Thank you.

Feel better?

- A little. -Good.

"Snapping Turtle“

Prosecutor! The elevator.

I know.

I have several questions.

The victim's shoes were missing.

Saeko Miki's stockings were torn and muddy.

So she was barefoot?

Ask the suspect.

Why wasn't she wearing shoes?

How should I know?

Really?

Was this the wrong floor?

This is it.

Amamiya from the Osaka Prosecutor's Office.

I'm her assistant, lchinose.

This is from Osaka. Tako Tacos are the latest craze.

Shoulder pain, back pain...Endo!

You're a pain. Massage yourself.

At least some coffee, then!

Huh?

The suspect is a wrestler!

What a crybaby.

Your interrogation is too harsh!

You look energized.

My skin is glowing, too.

- Are you in heat? -What did you say?

Innocent? ls the judge crazy?

I was so certain she was guilty.

Women are all actresses.

Huh?

Hi, Amamiya!

Longtime, no see, Mr. Endo.

Ms. Amamiya!

You're an assistant now, Mr. ldo.

What are you doing here?

I'm here on business.

How nostalgic!

She's wearing a prosecutor's badge!

I can't believe it!

I'm a prosecutor, after all.

Um...

Who is she?

I'm Maiko Amamiya from the Osaka Public Prosecutor's Office.

I'm her assistant, lchinose.

She used to be an assistant here.

From an assistant...

When I was still in security.

...to prosecutor.

You haven't changed a bit, Amamiya!

She's here to investigate that traffic accident.

Oh, yeah. I heard.

The one in Molo Azabu?

Yes.

Welcome. I'm Asagi, the assistant on the case.

She's here, Prosecutor Kuryu.

Welcome...

Amamiya...

What?

It's been ages!

How long has it been, Prosecutor? 21 years?

-8 years. -You haven't changed a bit.

You're still wearing blue jeans!

Are you still wearing that dirty brown down jacket as well?

Prosecutor Amamiya...

"Otozaki clan"

Otozaki clan.

A yakuza member and land broker

were discussing a blackmail scheme.

A party escort, Saeko Miki, just happened to overhear them.

We were trying to get a testimony from Ms. Miki

but she died before we could get a statement.

She was a key witness in a blackmail case.

So was this...

...a cover-up?

Your case

may not be a simple car accident.

The Osaka Office is trying to bring down the Otozaki clan.

The powerful yakuza group.

- How scary. -And dangerous.

Otozaki clan...they play dirty.
