BG: Personal Bodyguard (BG〜身辺警護人〜)

Hurry up and bring him here!

Four years ago, during the bribery scandal,

you put all the blame on me and abandoned me!

You should at least apologize!

- If anyone has to apologize, it's you! - Chief Secretary!

Someone as shameless as you,

dying properly is the least you can do! Hold on, Chief Secretary!

It's wrong to let someone die in vain!

Apologize! Apologize! Apologize!

Are you all right?

He was shot in his femur, so there is a chance

of arterial injury as well as bone fracture.

I've already contacted your family.

It was your son who picked up the phone. He'll be heading to the hospital right away.

- Shimazaki-kun. - Yes?

6 hours 14 minutes...

...and 5 seconds.

No error.

No... error.

What's happening?

- Cardiac arrest. - Yes.

Excuse me, I have to switch places.

- Get ready. - Yes.

No, this can't be...

Chief!

Murata-san...

Murata-san!

The suspect is Ueno Yugo, 48, unemployed.

From 2001 until 2014,

he was the private secretary of Chief Secretary Igarashi.

Chief Secretary Igarashi's private secretary?

During our interrogation, he has stated that he obtained

the pistol with the intention of committing suicide.

As for anything else, we're still investigating.

That's all.

- That's it? - You're already done?

Hikawa-san! Hikawa-san!

The SP was present at the time, right? Wouldn't you call that a failure?

The primary duty of the SP are to protect the VIP.

We did that without flaw.

However, an ordinary person died!

How come you only care for the VIP?

I heard that the victim himself meddled with the suspect who was in a rage.

Hikawa Osamu

MPD - Security Bureau - Section Chief

- Is that the truth? - It is unfortunate indeed.

Are you saying that the victim provoked him?

Minister, you witnessed the moment it happened, right?

Tachihara Aiko

Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare

What happened?

It is because I was under the protection of the SP

that I didn't see the gun being fired.

Ochiai Yoshiaki

MPD - Security Bureau

Minister, the victim was a private bodyguard, right?

How exactly did he provoke the criminal?

No matter the cause,

it won't change the fact that a precious life was lost.

From the bottom of my heart, I pray that his soul may rest in peace.

- Remove them. - Stop it, please!

Come on, stop it.

What's this? You're using violence on us?

Violence is bad!

Youichi...

I guess my dad was a fool after all.

That's not true.

He didn't provoke the criminal whatsoever.

Your father...

He was a bodyguard to the very end and protected all of us who were there.

Then...

How did things turn out that way?

Sounds like the criminal only shot because he had to butt in.

Ma'am...

Youichi-kun.

Imazeki Shigenobu

President of Hinode Security Service

We won't let them dishonor your father like that.

- We will clear this misunderstanding. - Impossible.

The police and the politicians are all blaming it on one guardsman.

Dead men tell no tales.

Being a bodyguard is a worthless black labor after all!

- Don't you talk about your father's work like that! - Stop it!

Let's not do this.

Stop it, now.

I knew that being a bodyguard means that death is always by your side.

However, this doesn't mean that we should be prepared to die.

The legacy of Personal Security Chief Murata...

Let's not have it go to waste.

Dear...

Thank you for everything.

Pardon me.

11:28.

No error.

No error.

No error.

No... error.

No error.

Everyone, let's do this!

Thank you very much. Yes.

Yes, looking forward to it. Excuse me.

We've received a new request.

Our client will arrive here very soon.

I'm... not sure I can work...

I'm still in shock, to be honest...

I understand, but...

Things will get worse if we cancel this job now.

We have to keep going.

You're right...

It would be his wish as well.

I can't agree with that.

What matters the most right now

is to restore the honor of our chief!

How?

By having the police admit they're lying, of course.

If that was possible, it wouldn't have come to this.

The police and Minister Tachihara,

they're all covering for the Chief Secretary.

So we just give up!?

He won't be able to rest in peace!

Are you okay with them saying that his death was his own fault!?

Of course I'm not!

You said we're giving up in frustration?

We got no plan or anything right now...

Desperation won't get us anywhere!

We don't proceed with our missions until we're fully prepared.

That's our way as bodyguards.

Until we're at that point,

we've got to keep this department that he left behind running no matter what.

You're surprisingly cold.

Do you really think that sitting around and waiting will get us anywhere?

Guys!

Thanks again for the other time.

President Okubo, we're the ones who have to thank you.

Our client, it's you?

I know, I know... It must be difficult right now.

I can't believe that Chief Murata...

Thank you very much.

Well, I've been thinking about it

and figured that he'd appreciate it for me to request your service.

This time I'd like you to guard the launch of our new product.

The next flavor is sunny-side-up fried eggs?

- It's rare, right? - Yes.

- We're very confident about this one. - I can see why.

However, I'm here

because the personnel of a factory we had to close

stated that they intend to boycott the launch.

That is very concerning.

I'll be fine,

but I can't have them disgrace our important new snack.

You see, this has been in development for more than two years.

It's an unprecedented flavor.

Please.

- Please, have a seat. - Thank you.

Can you prepare some hot water?

Hey! Could you please wait!

Wait!

Are we clear?

There has been criticism towards the SP in relation to the shooting a few days ago,

but we haven't done anything wrong.

In a dignified manner, but...

...with a focused mind, that's how we guard.

Yes, sir!

Dismissed.

Do you think you can push through this?

This is the best possible conclusion.

The way things work, we can't afford to have the Chief Secretary as an enemy.

However, this way, Murata-san's honor...

Now, now.

Don't forget that you were on site and that this is protecting you as well.

You only want to protect yourself!

How painful. You trying to kill me?

Ochiai, listen. We didn't kill anybody.

It's a fact that Murata was shot by the criminal.

We only rewrote the ending a tiny bit.

It's time to prove your resolve.

The top brass have high hopes for you.

Three people should be enough to cover this venue.

I'll be part of the backup this time,

so how about you being the main bodyguard (BG)?

My memorable first time, huh?

Memorable?

Earlier...

I didn't really make myself clear, but...

Can I ask you to let me quit?

It's a bit embarrassing,

but my mom won't stop asking me to quit this dangerous job asap.

What about yourself?

Do you want to... You want to quit?

I don't really know.

Every day here has been a lot of fun...

...but I wouldn't call it a job I want to keep on doing for the rest of my life.

I'm sorry for getting all serious.

It's completely fine and better than being vague.

But will you be all right?

I mean, Takanashi-san might not stay here for much longer either...

Even if I'm alone, I'll keep on going. I can't do anything else.

More importantly...

It's your first and last time as the BG. Give it your best shot.

Yes, I will.
