Hi wa Mata Noboru (The Sun Will Rise Again / 陽はまた昇る)

Urgent. Urgent. From the scene to the station.

Reporting on the condition from the scene.

One suspect, who was chased by the police into a building on Asahi-cho in Fuchu City,

has taken a female police officer hostage.

In a nearby convenience store,

3 bystanders have been slashed.

The suspect is acting alone, approximately 30 years old, male.

He has a knife similar to a survival knife,

wearing black shirt, black pants, and gloves.

Let her go! Stop this foolishness!

Don't come!!

Request a senior officer be dispatched.

You quit? Your job as a detective?

-Yes. -You're joking, aren't you?

Isn't it your calling to ruthlessly run down the suspects and

to capture them after completely wearing them down?

Due to certain reasons, I'm leaving the First Investigative Division.

Did you beat up a suspect or something?

No.

Then...you had something like woman trouble?

Well, something like that.

You're more ordinary than I thought.

I may try to act dignified, but underneath the facade, I'm just a man.

Do you want me to cheer you up?

If so, forget it.

I want to spend my remaining time doing more meaningful things.

I'm the one who put you here.

I thought I should let you know.

What are you going to do?

I'm stepping away from investigation and will be assigned to another department.

I don't believe Tono-san can do anything else beside detective work.

I'm the one who thinks that the most.

Release the hostage!

Don't commit additional crimes!

No, no, no!

If by saying raise your hands and come out,

and the criminal surrenders meekly, who needs the police!!

If this was an actual incident, I would have been killed already.

I'm sorry!

Most barricading incidents are unplanned and committed impulsively.

In order to persuade the criminals that their demands will not be met,

and how grave their crime will be should they harm the hostages, intellectual and rational

negotiation technique must be acquired!

This is not a play.

It's formal training.

What do you take the Police Academy for!

-I'm sorry! -I'm sorry!

This is the end of the tour for the incoming students.

Go to the gym immediately!

Yes!

Assemble!

Double file! Face straight forward!

We will now distribute the uniforms.

Verify the size and sew your name tag on the tracksuit

before the entrance ceremony a week from today.

Quiet!

Since its inception in Meiji 7 (1874), for 137 years the police officer's uniform of the Metropolitan Police Department

has been symbolizing the spirit of police officers.

I hope all of you become police officers worthy of wearing this uniform with its proud tradition.

Upon receipt, proceed to your respective classrooms. Following this,

your instructor will have a talk with you.

I wonder what kind of an instructor we'll get.

You know what I heard.

The Police Academy's never seen the likes of such a violent instructor.

-No way... -It's true.

If you mess up while training, I hear you get beaten to a pulp.

Hey.

You didn't take me seriously, did you? There's no hard-ass instructors like that these days.

Right?

What? You ignoring me?

-Oh well, whatever. -There's a few cute girls here.

-Where, where? -Excuse me.

I thought female police officers would all be like this, but

don't you think they're pretty high quality?

-Woah! They looked this way! -They smiled!

Come in.

Excuse me.

Please wait a minute.

I make it a practice to write a character on the day

we welcome in new students.

Alright...there.

What do you think? Times may change, but

what's necessary for police officers is the spirit of perseverance.

Well done, indeed.

You shouldn't give insincere compliments.

Police officers must be straightforward.

Welcome. I've been waiting for you, Tono Kyoukan.

-Then let me be straightforward and ask you. -Go right ahead.

Why was I assigned here?

You do know, don't you?

I'm the person least suited to be an instructor.

Not at all. I've always wanted an investigator like you who thoroughly knows

the ins and outs of the field to be an instructor.

Come in.

Excuse me, Kouchou.

Tono.

Welcome to your new post.

...Thank you.

I'm Minoshima, Chief of the New Recruit Training Department.

Kouchou has entrusted me with the subject matter of the courses for the students,

so you are expected to follow my instructions from here on.

Yes, certainly.

Woah! That's cool, man!

It's like "This is Cosplay*. .

What? The stripe's black.

There's a reason for that. When you get promoted to Police Sergeant, you get silver,

and Assistant Police Inspector gets gold.

You're knowledgeable!

I've been wanting to wear this since I was in grade school...

-Hurry up and wear it then! -Nice. I'll take your picture.

-Why don't you send it to your girlfriend? -I don't have any girlfriends.

Then your mom. Come on. Try it on.

Nice, nice! Okay...

Woah, nice! Ready~.

What are you doing?

We're not supposed to wear the uniform until the entrance ceremony.

We're just trying it on.

-People like you don't have the right to wear it. -Listen...

I've been thinking for a while, but are you picking a fight?

There's an alarming decline in the quality of the students.

In many cases we're told that even though they're graduates

of the Police Academy, they're totally useless in the field.

-That's nothing new. -Furthermore, there's been a rash of

scandalous incidents caused by young police officers recently.

The molester in Chofu, the bicycle thief in Arakawa...I don't even want to think about them.

How can we prevent them.

There's only one answer. Prevent the unsuitable individuals from becoming police officers.

However, it's impossible to screen everyone during entrance exam.

I would think so.

Tono. You're the worst detective.

Thank you very much.

However, it's a fact that you continuously produced great results at the First Investigative Division.

I want you to ascertain with those eyes you nurtured in the field.

You want me to get rid of useless ones?

In order to regain people's trust in police, we must preserve completely the integrity of police officers.

That is our duty.

Kyoukan!

What is it, Shiraishi.

Excuse me... The new students are...

-Let it go. This is the Police Academy, you know. -But doesn't he make you mad?

Everyone's just having fun to start out...

Everyone? You're the only one who just wants to have fun.

What did you say?

Hey! Cut it out! Hey!

Stop it! -Stop right now!

Both of you, take your seat!

-You don't have to stop them. -What?

Both of you, have at it as much as you want. Saves me the trouble.

Trouble?

What's wrong? I'm telling you to go ahead and do as you please.

Continue on. However, those who fought will be fired immediately.

Fired immediately...

The Police Academy is not merely a school.

All of you will be paid a salary starting today.

It's tax collected from hard working people like your mom and dad.

Those who lack the awareness don't have the right to get paid.

I'm sorry. It's not that we were fighting for real.

We were like half joking... Right?

We were watching too. It wasn't a fight.

It was more like pro wrestling. Right?

We're sorry for causing a disturbance.

As Kyoukan has said, although you are students,

you are now police officers. You should refrain from conducting immaturely.

Alright. Starting today, you are the students of Tono Kyoujou of the 1,293rd Session.

At the Police Academy, class is referred to as kyoujou.

For six months starting today, Tono Kyoukan and I, Shiraishi, the assistant instructor,

will guide you to become distinguished police officers.

Now, a few words from Tono Kyoukan.

Attention!

Bow!

Be seated.

Kyoukan...?

-I'm not liking this. -Pardon me?

All of you, return your uniforms and move out of the dormitory.

I'm having everyone quit.

Hold it please!

What is the meaning of this?

We can't accept getting fired all of a sudden.

That's right! ...That's right. Please tell us why!

You guys lied.

Huh?

In spite of the fact that you were fighting, you improvised and

lied that you were just messing around, and knowing the truth,

you dodged the issue.

I'm sorry to contradict you, but if we're told that fighting would lead to getting fired,

wouldn't dodging the issue be a natural thing to do?

My first assigned post was at Akasaka Minami Police Station.

One day, while on patrol, Senpai (senior) stopped a young man for questioning.

But the man punched Senpai without warning and fled.

The supervisor asked him if anything happened, but

not wanting to be reproached for being inattentive,

he reported no problem and dodged the issue.

Three days later, a random murder occurred in our jurisdiction,

where a man high on stimulants killed 3 passers-by.

The culprit was the man who punched Senpai and fled.

Do you understand? If Senpai had been honest and confessed,

it's highly possible the incident may not have happened!

Senpai, who felt responsible, resigned and

3 months later, took his own life.

To a police officer, lying on the job can be fatal.
