Room Leader (Heyachou / Heyacho / ヘヤチョウ)

HEYACHO

Oh, Moriyama.

It's been a long time. What's up?

I want to talk to you about something.

Is it urgent?

Yeah.

Heyacho, we got called out.

I've got to call you back.

Who are you, please?

I'm Kamamoto from the 1st investigation division.

Moriyama...

I don't know how this happened.

Yesterday...

I got a call from him.

What?

He said he wanted to talk to me.

What did my husband say?

I didn't call him back.

You were his best friend, right?

Did you ignore his S.O.S.?

Mr. Kamamoto!

How cruel, Mr. Kamamoto!

The East Nakano PD must be very understaffed

if they sent a young female detective to investigate

a series of random attacks.

I'm assigned to assaults and murders.

You just made Detective, transferring from Traffic.

Also, this is your first case with a partnership of both jurisdictions.

What's wrong?

It's just a drunk man.

Won't he get attacked by the criminal?

All the victims are young females.

They were all attacked while talking on a phone.

Who would attack a drunk man? But...

Are you OK?

Wake up.

Stop!

Waking someone up like that

will get your family jewels smashed by being mistaken for a thief.

What? Heyacho?

"Heyacho"?

I'm Nojima from the Kamitakada PD.

We worked together on a past investigation.

Ah, that's right. Nojima! You're Nojima!

- When you wake up a drunk man... - Yes?

Talk to him from a safe position. That's common sense!

Right?

Yes, sir.

I'm sorry I was careless.

Are you OK?

I'm sorry, sir.

Who was that?

Sergeant Kamamoto.

1st investigation division room leader at the Metropolitan PD.

My heart is brave, but I won't be a fierce god.

Although I have compassion as a human...

Sorry, I need to go number 2.

I didn't need to know that.

I'm sorry I'm late. I'm on my way there.

What?

I said I was sorry. I know.

She may be in danger.

Are you stupid or something? What?

Are you drunk? You sound drunk.

Ah, excuse me.

Mr. Nojima.

Hey, Tsujimoto, where are you now!?

I'm sorry. I saw a woman...

Tsujimoto!? What's wrong?

Tsujimoto? Tsujimoto!

Hey, bring me salt!

I'm home.

Where did she go at this hour?

Dad, where is Yukie?

Ah, she's back.

Hey...

- You scared me! - Hello, sir, you came home?

- Oh, are you the helper? - I'm Toshiko Haruta.

Ah yes, it's been a long time.

Your wife asked me to nurse him at night.

It's actually inconvenient for me.

But since we have a long relationship, I'll be flexible.

What did she need to do?

I don't know.

She might have written in the notebook. Let me see.

Oh no, big problem.

I think your wife left you.

DIVORCE APPLICATION

This can't he true.

These are hospital documents.

She already took care of your dad's hospital registration.

I'll be working on a case from today.

I won't be home for a while.

Was it on the right, or left?

What is?

The mole on your chin.

I forgot already

since I've been seeing only your back.

What are you saying now? Take care of my dad.

You only talk about your dad.

If your dad wasn't here, you wouldn't come home at all.

Don't talk nonsense. I'll go now.

Was that this morning?

No.

It was 3 days ago.

I had to do something important, so I couldn't come home.

What a pity.

She indicated a problem, but you left her alone for 3 days.

Is this...

...my fault?

YUKIE KAMAMOTO

Heyacho, I'm sorry but I need to ask you a favor.

This is a file of a series of widespread random attacks.

East Nagano PD and Kamitakada PD are investigating it together.

An inspector was attacked during the investigation.

- Was this the same criminal? - Yeah.

She was supposed to ambush the criminal but was attacked instead.

Can you look into the blundering detective?

Me?

Look at the name.

Miki Tsujimoto.

Tsujimoto? Is that...?

Daughter of Lt. Tsujimoto, who was killed in the line of duty.

I'll now confirm if there weren't any conflicts with the regulations.

CHIEF MAKOTO YOSHIZAWA

You're dismissed.

Tsujimoto is meeting with the chief right now.

So the chief is questioning her?

Is he working her hard?

It's like torture for her.

Tsujimoto is my important newcomer.

Please take care of her.

I don't really care.

An unskilled officer like you

shouldn't have worked on a dangerous investigation.

The problem was with Manager Inao, who assigned you to the case.

I requested it.

I asked him not to treat me differently because I'm a woman.

I think that should be enough questioning, sir.

What is it, Kamamoto?

Ms. Tsujimoto is a victim.

I need to ask her what happened before she forgets,

instead of you questioning her responsibility.

Why you?

I was asked to support the case. From above.

From above?

- I'll start now. Sit down. - Wait a minute.

I'll take care of Tsujimoto's incident.

The priority is to verify who is accountable for this incident.

That's something a boss who doesn't know the field would say.

You!

Who do you think you're talking to!?

The top priority is to look for clues to catch the criminal.

By the way, it's too bad about Moriyama.

I heard he called you before he committed suicide.

Did he say anything to you?

You were best friends, right?

That has nothing to do with this case.

PD should always check officer's actions and take measurements...

...so that we don't repeat Moriyama's tragedy.

Your actions deviate from official authority.

I'll file a claim to the chief of the 1st investigation division.

Was it OK to talk to the chief like that?

I know Chief Yoshizawa from way back.

We were in the Kendo club together in college.

- I'm from the 1st investigation... - Heyacho, right?

Are you OK?

You saw me like that, I see.

Did you see the face of the criminal

No, I didn't. I was hit from behind.

What was the criminal wearing?

I don't know. It was dark at night.

What's the age of the criminal?

I only saw the criminal briefly, but I think he was young.

Gender?

A male.

What about his height?

I don't think he's tall.

What were you wearing that night?

What?

- Me? - Yeah.

Gray jacket and white skirt with stripes.

What did you wear under the jacket?

A white t-shirt.

I see. That's it for today.

- We're done already? - Yeah.

When your head gets hit, you lose the memories from around that time.

If you remember anything, write it down so you won't forget.

Take care.

Ah, Sergeant Kamamoto.

Will I be removed from the investigation?

I'm not sure. You're a victim now.

I want to catch the criminal myself.

Heave-ho.

You're getting better at this now.

Thanks to you.

Please change his body position every 2 hours.

Sure.

Mr. Kamamoto, let's wipe your face.

Here you go.
