Little Giants (小さな巨人)

As a detective in first division of Metropolitan Department, I was walking the road of successful promotion.

Slowly, becoming a superintendent wasn't just dream.

Leader of first division, Kousaka.

That's what I thought until ...

Hey!

Oh, wait a little. - You're annoying!

"Last nigh, a policeman after drinking alcohol, performed violent police questioning against citizen ..

.. and in the end damaged his car."

Did inspector Kousaka drink alcohol?

He did.

I remember it clearly.

Because of just one mistake, ..

.. I've lost the position of detective in first division.

I was transferred ..

.. to police station in Shiba; under command of former superintendent Mikasa.

There, I got involved into kidnapping case of Nakata Kazumasa, president of prominent IT company in Japan, Gone Bank.

At surface, it looked like common ransom money-kidnapping.

However, in reality it was ..

.. an attempt of Kazami Yasuo, president Electro-Kazami, who wanted to get the truth about the cause of death of his daughter Kyouko ..

.. who died a month ago and her death was qualified as suicide.

We from police station promised her father to open her case again, but ...

Wait with the break-in, please.

We try to persuade kidnapper.

Chief, I beg you!

Please!

Such ..

.. bad detective from police station, ..

.. I can't believe the most!

First division aimed for break-in.

Chief!

In the end, president Nakata was successfully rescued ..

.. and kidnapper Kazami Yasuo became unconscious after ..

.. he tried to poison himself.

Then, the case was closed without ..

.. trying to get the truth behind it.

This case hasn't ended yet.

There is something behind it.

On what basis?

My intuition. - Are you ready ..

.. to rely on that intuition?

I am ... prepared.

As a policeman from station, ..

.. I'm going to oppose you, chief of first division!

This afternoon was held a press conference about successful rescue ..

.. in the kidnapping case of Nakata Kazumasa, president of Gone Bank, which attended ..

.. his son Ryuuichi together with their corporation lawyer as well.

Rescued president Nakata has ..

.. attended the presentation of new project planed after it ..

.. where they announced development of security camera with 4K ...

Chief.

Metropolitan Police Department 74. leader, first criminal division

Onoda Yoshinobu

So he will oppose me ...

Metropolitan Police Department

First Criminal Investigation chief assistant

Yamada Haruhiko

After his rescue has president Nakata ..

.. become a hero who didn't succumb to kidnapper.

On other side, kidnapper Kazami Yasuo ..

.. was blamed by the public as violent criminal aiming for 500 millions.

In the end, that man said ..

.. that he agreed and gave up ...

I've heard it.

He believed us.

Police station, Shiba

Chief of criminal department

Kousaka Shinichiro

That man, who tried to kill himself, wasn't guilty.

He was desperate.

He was angry. Angry at us, who deceived him.

Police station Shiba, detecive

Watabe Hisashi

Because we forced him to death.

We are the one ..

.. guilty here!

Detective ...

Resignation

Do what you want.

Police station Shiba, detective

Nakamura Toshiya

I'm sorry for causing you trouble.

Do you understand!?

Because of your selfish actions investigation of first division might have ended in chaos.

Such unprecedented mistake! - I'll take the responsibility.

Inspector already told us what kind of punishment awaits you.

Police station Shiba, chief former senior superintendent

Mikasa Yohei

I'm prepared for that. - Really?

Well then, your punishment is following.

Inspector Kousaka.

Police station Shiba, vice-chief

Sugimoto Manabu

You were given a warning about unexcused absence at exam.

That's all.

What? - You understand?

According to rules, whole department should have been strictly punished.

Getting only such warning is all to thanks to chief Mikasa.

Be grateful for what he did for you.

I am very sorry for causing trouble.

Chief Mikasa begged chief of first division for favor.

It meant the same as accepting defeat of police station ..

.. and not planning to oppose again.

Metropolitan Department Office Human Resources

Mishima Yuri

Here.

Report for public.

Thank you.

I'd like to ask you something.

Despite what jurisdiction did ..

Metropolitan Police Department, first division

Criminal Investigation 2nd unit chief

Fujikura Ryouichi

.. during this case, no one of them was punished. That's weird.

Do you know why?

"What jurisdiction did ..."?

What did you mean?

Inspector Yanagizawa.

According the report I got from chief Onoda, there wasn't any trouble during investigation.

Metropolitan Police Department, intern inspector

Yanagizawa Hajime

What? - However, what I heard right now from you ...

It looks quite different from his report, don't you think?

I'd like to hear more details about it.

Call the superintendent immediately.

Right now?

Of course. - Ah, I'm sorry for this misunderstanding.

As you heard from superintendent, there weren't any troubles.

Excuse me.

It looks like chief helped him.

So, we won't be punished?

Yes.

Good. Now, the case of Miss Kyouko ... - Instruction for next investigation.

Higashiyama. Ishikura.

Get the informations about that burglary case.

Yes. - Kamioka. Fukumoto.

Continue with the blackmailing case from before.

Yes.

Nakamura. Detective Watabe. The assault case.

The others will investigate those arson cases. That's all.

Yes.

Let's go, Nakamura.

Is it alright, detective?

Stop it. Don't you see that we've escaped punishment?

Stop dig in that already. It only causes trouble.

But we ...

They are right.

Besides, ..

.. that case has ended.

Nakamura, come on!

Yes!

The most annoying was ..

.. that our fate was in the hands of superintendent Onoda.

Nothing else.

Do you know the real reason why chief said to Janagizawa ..

.. that there wasn't any trouble?

He said that the mistake ..

.. which police station did was not serious at all and it didn't affect ..

.. investigation of first division. - Yes.

I've heard it. - Then, it's good.

I was worried about it.

At that time, you declared it so impressively.

You, an ordinary detective from police station, ..

.. will oppose chief of first division.

At least, I've got to know ..

.. that Miss Kyouko didn't kill herself because of cheating.

There must be another reason.

It is possible that someone stole the system which she developed.

I think this is somehow related.

Chief said ..

.. that it wasn't none of your business.

Follow his orders, please.

Orders from superintendent ..

.. are absolute. - I know.

Tell the chief, please, ..

.. that I don't intend to make any trouble for first division.

Orders from superintendent are absolute.

Being at police station now, I'm even more aware of it.

Hey ..

.. did anything happen?

What?

Wife Kousaka Misa

Somehow, it's weird.

You leave at regular time, you return at regular time.

You never did it before. - Is that bad?

They said that it's good when husband's resting at home.

Mother Kousaka Mayumi

Police station, you're being in now, doesn't have much work?

It has. Aside of that, why are you here again?

Misa said to make the croquette together.

I wanted to learn from her.

Now, they are crunchy and not soggy.

I've thought it would be only us two ..

.. but now when you are here, there's not enough at all.

So sorry, coming home regularly.

Somehow ..

.. I've remembered something obvious.

What? - You are government worker, Shinichiro.

That's right. - Yes, that look.

What? Look? - Yes.

Your father often said it.
