BG: Personal Bodyguard (BG〜身辺警護人〜)

Thanks.

Junya!

You traitor!

Abandoning Japan for money!

I believe that's yours.

Out of the way, please! Come here!

Hey! Junya!

Thank you.

- Nice safe. - Let's go.

Okay, go ahead!

We're sorry. Please turn around.

We're sorry, but this is under construction.

We're sorry, we're sorry.

Man, it's gotten cold.

Tonight's no joke.

You can have this.

- I brought a bunch. - You sure?

- Yes. - Thank you.

You seem accustomed. How long have you been a guardsman?

About six years, I think.

Guess we're the same then.

It's a good job to earn some extra money before retirement,

but it must be boring for youngsters?

Nah, I'm not young anymore.

No, I'm the young one.

Huh? I didn't notice.

Excuse me!

Stop! Please... excuse me!

- Stop! Stop! - Please stop!

- Excuse me!? - Stop!

Excuse me, this is under construction. Please turn around.

We're in a hurry. Can't you let us through?

I'm sorry, but passage is prohibited.

Could you make an exception?

Well, an accident would be more troublesome, so...

Excuse me! Excuse me! This is under construction!

Excuse me! Excuse me!

Wait, wait, wait...! What about that car?

Beats me, they just plowed through.

The heck? I thought it's prohibited?!

- Do your job properly, will ya! - Stop it!

It's no use complaining to the guards, right?

- We're sorry! - We're sorry!

We almost had her. Shit...

I've been told that

you seem to have let a car through the barrier last night.

My apologies.

No, that's good. That's one less problem.

That contractor was annoying anyway.

Thank you very much.

Truth is, that's not why I've summoned you here.

The division for private security is set to get established soon.

That's right, bodyguards.

Speaking of bodyguards in Japan,

celebrities and rich people come to mind first,

but these days anyone is in danger of becoming a victim.

More and more people realize that safety can't be bought for free.

The essence of private security is experience.

It would be really reassuring if I were to get you for this division.

Don't get me wrong...

I'm thankful for everything you've done for me.

However, I'm sure you know about this.

The world of bodyguards,

there's no way back for those who have failed once already.

Nobody has to know about that.

I've no intention of proclaiming what happened six years ago.

You'll take up your new post at private security as a rookie

just like the other members.

A rookie...

Still, being out of the field for so long could be fatal.

And I'm not getting any younger.

My perception probably isn't what it used to be.

Are you sure this is the right path for you?

Shimazaki-kun...

Show me what a real comeback looks like.

If anyone can do it, it's you.

You're going to start training now.

Private security isn't just one person.

It's about team play.

Got it.

I picked capable people from various divisions.

You should make for a great team.

Move! You want me to kill her!?

You need to get closer.

But he's got a knife and I got nothing!

And you know why!

Unlike Security Police (SP), private bodyguards

are not allowed to carry guns or other kind of dangerous weapons.

No need to get all serious during practice...

This is the final drill.

If you want to get this over with, you better get serious.

I'm gonna kill this woman!

Ouch...! Help me!

My bad...

Magnificent...

Ah! I'm sorry.

Just a fluke?

Huh?

One more try, please.

Translation: HPriest @ d-addicts Twitter: @hpriestsubs

It is admirable how you never let your guard down and never miss practice, huh?

What is it?

Minister Aiko apparently got herself a little gift.

When did the package arrive?

Around three o'clock. It was with the other packages.

Maybe it's actually just a fan's present or something?

I couldn't barely handle all the letters I got during my time as news anchor.

It's my faux pas, isn't it?

It's an old battery!

A battery?

This is it.

"Self-conceit is man's greatest enemy."

"Resign or death comes with a signal gun."

"Representative of Former Fans."

A rather malicious prank.

I've gotten plenty of comments strongly advising me to resign from office,

but such a threat is a first for me.

What could the signal gun be referring to? Does anything come to mind?

No.

Could it be? The Sumida River Marathon?

She's going to serve as the starter for a marathon

at her local electoral precinct.

Resign...

Could be a warning of an attack there unless you resign as a Minister of the Diet.

Please pull out of the event.

Yes. I'll immediately contact the organizers...

Please wait.

I don't want to give in to such a threat.

SP will guard you 24/7.

- Get that to forensics. - Yes.

- Increase guards. - Yes.

Kiyota, check with the 4th and instruct Nakamura and Tanaka.

Understood.

You'll be late if you don't hurry up.

I know.

How's school?

Unless you go back or change schools, it's gonna be quite far for you.

Hurry up and go back to Mom, you mean?

No, that's not what I mean.

I'm fine if you prefer to stay here.

It's not like I actually want to live with you or anything.

I just don't want to disturb Mom's newly-married life.

I want her to become happy this time, you see.

That so...? How tactful.

So that's your type?

Enough already!

Lock the door.

Be careful when you go.

Look at you!

You're all bodyguards, right?

You totally look like an Eastwood!

As for you...

Kevin, maybe?

You're Nicolas!

Whitney.

- In need of protection? - My age doesn't really fit, though.

- May I ask who you are? - Isn't it obvious?

I'm here to talk to you about insurance.

Having security in a dangerous field of work such as this is a must.

Insurance at the workplace.

I've got no spare money for that.

This has to stay between us, but your president is a cheapskate,

so he may give his clients high insurance, but his employees not so much.

Here, Kevin... You must have three children.

Your cute wife deserves to get at least 50 million.

No, that's not necessary at all and you're completely wrong.

You never know when a bullet's gonna hit you, do you?

Please don't say things that bring ill luck.

Oh, section chief!

A special insurance plan just for you!

Another time for sure.

- We got a very urgent job to do, so... - Hey!

I... Always leave them wanting more.

Much appreciated.

Okay!

It wasn't a lie.

Everyone, you've made it through the strict training.

Our first request.

First of all, watch this.

Any word for the person who sent it?

You don't think it was because of your faux pas?

Minister Tachihara!

The people want a comment from you.

I've known this reporter for a long time.

He gets three minutes for an interview.

Excuse me.

He's getting special treatment?

Thank you very much. It's an honor to get such an exclusive.

Inukai-san, you're no gossip reporter like them,

you're a journalist.

Well then...

Do you think that it was your faux pas that lead such a threat?

Yes.

However, I don't think of it as a faux pas.

When talking about self-responsibility,

it does have the bad meaning of being on one's own,

but it also means the esteem of an individual who doesn't pry into other people's business.

Then you have no intention of resigning?

Of course not.

I'm going to attend the Sumida River Marathon as planned.
