Matori and Kyoken: Men in the Back Alleys

Stimulants, narcotics, cannabis.

People who have used these drugs

are now estimated to total two million in Japan.

The number of people arrested for drug-related offenses

is as many as 14,000 yearly.

The college student from before.

Another case of addiction, like it always goes?

Remember it now?

Why?

We used some drugs and had a lot of fun together.

A woman with symptoms of drug addiction was brought in this morning.

The symptoms point to cocaine addiction.

No way.

Why!

Why are you crying?

Isn't she just a stranger?

It's just a drug addict who died.

Ouch!

Are we going to let scum like him roam free?

I'm with you. We have to keep gathering evidence in secret for now.

A GPS tracker?

She's at her home right now.

If we keep track of her,

we'll uncover Kaga's true colors soon enough.

I met with that shitty Kurosaki from the NCD just now.

I have some info.

Do you want it?

I didn't expect a call from you this quick.

Quite useful, aren't you?

Aoi?

Aoi.

Wakey-wakey.

How do you feel?

Morning.

Remember anything?

Or not yet?

Hello?

Aoi left her apartment.

Okay. Tail her and make contact.

What?

Use any means to figure out where Kaga gets his cocaine from.

We'll use that information to crush the whole operation.

Come on, you're asking a lot here.

Weren't you an actor before?

Figure it out.

How is that relevant? Don't you have a plan?

Don't be a baby.

A good spy needs to think for themselves without being too reliant on others.

Figure it out.

You've got to be kidding me.

I don't want to be a good spy.

You okay?

Sorry.

I'm fine.

You don't look fine to me.

Do you have a fever?

You're sweating a ton.

Here.

Thank you.

Had me worried with the way you collapsed.

Maybe I ate something weird.

Wait.

Did you ever star in a movie called School King ?

Yeah.

My mother was an extra in it ten years ago,

and I had a small part in it too.

Wow, really?

Sorry, you probably don't remember me.

No, I remember you.

Wait, really?

Of course, I do.

How you've grown.

Oh, but I don't think my height has changed all that much.

Well, I mean, you've gotten mature.

Women get this different aura about them as time goes by.

It's fine.

Of course, you wouldn't remember an extra from ten years ago.

Sorry.

Wait, but I remember back then,

filming was going a bit long, and I ended up crying.

You kept me company the whole break.

Oh, now, I actually remember you.

You were crying a ton, right? You had snot all over your face.

I got snot on my costume. It was such a mess.

Sorry.

No, I'm sorry for not remembering you sooner.

But wow, what a coincidence.

That stalker woman committed suicide.

The police and NCD are taking action.

She's a pain in the ass, even in death.

Damn it.

You sure she didn't leave a will?

The people I asked to handle the cleanup said they found nothing in her room.

It's going to be fine.

Things are far from fine!

Lay low for a while, okay?

Right.

But you know,

seeing the face of someone drooling in bliss from the cocaine I fed them...

It gets me so turned on.

It doesn't sound

like you just happened to eat something bad.

Some time ago, I was in a movie that focused on drugs.

Your symptoms sound very familiar.

Could it be that...

I might be able to help you out.

Can you tell me more?

I can't.

Why?

Because,

if I do...

It would suck if this got shared publicly, wouldn't it?

Damn it, this is getting annoying.

What?

There's a rumor

that a certain celebrity forcefully feeds cocaine to women and assaults them.

So hearing your story got me concerned.

And that celebrity is?

Hibiki Kaga.

Did that ring a bell?

Does he have dirt on you?

If you don't do anything, you'll be an addict in a month's time.

Are you okay with that?

I've seen many people whose lives were ruined by drugs.

I don't want you to turn out the same.

I can figure something out.

I just need you to tell me if Kaga gets in touch with you.

There's no going back once you get addicted.

Are you okay with hurting those dear to you

and losing everything?

Please...

help me.

What is it?

Aoi was fed cocaine by Kaga.

You sure?

Kaga told her to come to a club in Roppongi tonight.

Good job.

That said, you really think Kaga would go to a club?

A woman he got addicted to cocaine took her life.

Word must have gotten out that you and the police are on the case.

The scary thing about drugs is that you can't stop.

What about Aoi?

Like I would let her come.

I told her to make up an excuse and turn Kaga down.

I'll help her somehow.

You of all people?

Why not me?

Get off my back.

- Oh, there he is. - We were waiting for you, Mr. Kaga.

- Heya. - Let's go in.

He really did come.

I'm in Roppongi for the Kaga case. Be ready to mobilize.

Club A2. That's where the rapper Igarashi died by overdose after stabbing a waiter.

That was here?

They were closed for a while after that incident,

but they're throwing a regulars-only party today,

and dealing cocaine to guests in the VIP room through waiters.

Gotcha.

That's where you come in.

- What? - Sneak in.

What?

Come on, man.

If you already know that much, just go in there with the whole NCD.

If we go now, we'll only catch the waiters at best.

You're the key for us to get Kaga.

Yeah, but the party is only open to their regulars.
