Please support the official release if possible.

Shrikes are agile birds.

Their name is a reference to a strange trait of theirs.

You see,

shrikes skewer their captured prey on branches,

and fly away without eating them.

Many theories have been suggested

as to why shrikes hold this trait.

Yet none have ever been proven.

Of course they haven't.

No one should be able to understand.

The nature of others.

Our impulses.

Someone's coming!

Shush!

Ah, found you!

Wait!

Wait! Wait!

Waiー

Please be careful!

Oh, don't worry.

Geez! They're already this energetic.

Oh!

Here I am!

Ah! It's a fire-engine!

And an ambulance.

Whoa, there are more ambulances!

There's two more fire-engines!

No, there's three more!

What's the ruckus about?

Those were ambulances!

Television news flash -

A large explosion occurred in Chūō, Tokyo at 3:08 PM. Casualties reported.

Oh no! isn't that nearby?

A large blast suddenly exploded.

I'm in front of the Izutsu store in Ginza.

I was walking quickly, when a loud blast suddenly rang out.

The next minute, the street was blown away.

It's hot here, I'm certain it was some sort of explosion.

What's she doing in such a dangerous place?

Crap! Watch out! This is bad! Crap! Crap!

Are you alright, sweetie?

Sorry, excuse us, coming through. Please move!

Coming through, please make way!

They're conscious, level 3!

Please send them to Dr.Takagi.

Ah, take their blood pressure then um... have them cleaned up!

Can you hear me?

She's Code Red.

Did anyone bring an ambu bag?

Arrange for an intubation.

Emergency services are handling the situation.

We now bring you live images from above the site of the explosion.

Mr. Suzuki, if you would.

Okay, here are scenes from above the Ginza Izutsu store.

You can see the building at the heart of the devastation.

Currently, at least 9 people are dead,

with reports of more than 130 injured being rushed to nearby hospitals --

Now a press conference by Chief Cabinet Secretary, Mr. Morihara.

Regarding the events which occurred in front of the Izutsu store in Ginza...

Please take the stretcher!

Sorry, I'll move it.

...For now, we can not rule out the possibility of an terrorist attack.

Tokyo Metropolitan Medical Coroner.

Two people were found dead at Ground Zero,

both with horrible burns.

They're barely recognizable now.

From the Public Safety Bureau?

Even if he comes here, the body is in no condition for viewing.

He's here.

I'll contact you later.

Wait up.

You're that guy from the PSB who lost his wife in the bombing incident, right?

I'm Osugi from Division 1 of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, I'm honored to meet.

Hate to say this, but I hope this won't upset --

It won't be an issue.

Then to confirm, your name was...

It's Kuraki.

That's unmistakably my wife.

At this time, what will you-

Who was the other victim who died at Ground Zero?

The male's identity is still unknown at this stage.

Though from witness testimonies,

it's believed he carried the bomb.

How did you know the identity of the victim was my wife?

I interviewed friends of your wife who were there with her.

Friends?

Yes.

My wife was with friends?

Yes, both of them suffered severe burns and are in a serious condition.

I didn't have time to find out all the details.

What's the victim count at?

As of now, 14 deceased and 170 injured.

It's possible that the number of the deceased will rise.

Any eye-witness Intel?

We're still arranging for that.

Have you checked surveillance cameras around the site of the explosion yet?

Surveillance footage is in the process of being examined.

If we include ATM footage collected at a nearby convenience stores,

we should have at least 200 different viewpoints from the vicinity.

That will take some time.

What are the names and addresses of my wife's friends?

Don't read too deeply into what morphine-induced people say.

Your advice is unnecessary.

You Public Safety Bureau guys are all alike, aren't you?

I don't see how me being with the PSB is relevant.

Stop wasting my time. Hurry up and spit out the details.

Sounds like interrogation.

Not my intent.

Sorry, but I don't want to tell you.

I'll find out eventually!

Then follow correct procedure if you want to question me!

I'm wasting my time talking to you, huh?

Police Lieutenant Osugi.

Is that what you think?

Inspector Kuraki?

Pay attention to the road, idiot!

Sorry.

What are you laughing at Shingai?

No, I was thinking how nice the weather is, Akai.

I'm life changing!

Manager Akai, it doesn't take much!

Shingai, you scared the shit out of me with what you pulled this time!

Yeah, rough and violent.

Using a bomb and all!

An explosion occurred At 3.08 pm today...

They're talkin' 'bout you, they're talkin' 'bout you!

Stupid piece of crap!

... catastrophic with over 200 people killed or injured...

What do you mean, Akai?

Look, it's not like I need to explain myself, right?

This is unexpected.

I never thought you'd let yourself be used, Akai.

Shut it.

Where's the IC chip you recovered?

Stupid hunk of junk!

What will you do after killing me?

My younger sister...

What would you do if she asked the police to find me?

If word did get out you were missing, no one would come looking.

You'll be targeted!

Huh?

What are you talking about?

Do you know about shrikes?

Shrikes?

Without a doubt the shrike will come for you.

You're giving me the creeps, dammit!

You supposed to make him fall without layin' a finger on him.

Shut up, idiot!

It won't be a problem since his body splattered like tofu hitting concrete!

Let's go!

Okay.

'Shrike' Season 1 - Cries of the Night

Today, I'm making a special drink!

I bought a lot of veggies!

Since tomorrow is Christmas Eve, let's have a snowball fight in the park!

Though it would be bad if Shizuku caught a cold. How about we make snowmen instead?

Yes, that would be best!

But actually, she might catch frostbite if it's too cold...

Shizuku?

Over here!

Chihiro?

What were you doing in a place like that?

We have an arrival with serious injuries. Anyone here?

How is he?

Multiple head lacerations, damage to the temporal lobe, possibly broken hypochondrium!

Find out his blood type, then head to the blood bank!

Okay, craniotomy is complete.

Vitals?

Relieving.

Here's a Speculum.

Heart is palpitating!

Prepare immediate D&C! And ventricular fibrillation!

Change!

Okay.

Police Headquarters Building

This has become a joint investigation between us, PSB

Division 2, and units from other bureaus here at Headquarters.

I am Wakamatsu of PSB Division Two. I will take command of the investigation.

First, the special report regarding potential instigator or instigators of the bombing.

Yes!

Two deceased persons were found at Ground Zero.

The first is Kuraki Chihiro, 35 years old, former PSB officer.

The second is Kakehi Shunzo, 47 years old, freelance writer.

According to eyewitnesses, the first victim, Kuraki Chihiro,

and two female friends were accosted by a homeless man.

Kakehi Shunzo was seen rushing past with a bag.

Then the explosion occured.

Testimony asserts the explosion originated from Kekehi's bag.

We believe he used timed charges.

No individuals or groups have claimed responsibility yet.

Currently, we suspect Kakehi belonged to the Japanese branch of a cyber-terrorism group,

known as 'Parasite Net'.

Parasite Net is an anarchist organization claiming to seek equality.

They are responsible for numerous cyber attacks on Police and Government servers.

However, there is no history of activities outside of cyber-terrorism.

As for Kakehi, despite being under surveillance and being flagged by the PSB,

He has never been arrested.

He was good at leaving no criminal trail.
