Kurokouchi (クロコーチ)

This drama is based on a hypothesis.

December 9, 1975,

7 years after the 300-million yen robbery...

I asked all of you to exert all your effort

December 9, 1975

and investigate to your best of ability

until the very end, but...

With heartfelt respect,

I'd like to express my appreciation and gratitude.

Total number of investigators involved in the case,

170,000.

The long investigation that spanned a course of 2,556 days

came to an end without seeing the fruits of its labor.

December 10, 1975, 00:00 am 300-million yen robbery statute of limitations expires

It's been 7 years.

I know this is sudden, but please come with me.

Aren't you

going to set me free?

Please come with me.

The 300-million yen robbery

remains to this day...

December 3, 2013

Seike-san, Seike-san!

Are you all right?

Where is Takahashi-san?

He got away.

Let's see now...

My account number is

9 6 5 1.

It spells Kurokouchi.

Please deposit half of 35 billion,

or 17.5 billion, in that account.

Todai-chan

Excuse me for a minute.

Oh, please continue processing the deposit.

Hello~. Have you arrived at the station?

What?

- Is this Chief Kakizaki? - I'm sorry.

Please issue an emergency alert at once...

Takahashi-san had a concealed stun gun.

Seike-san.

I'm terribly sorry!

Ajapaa~.

Did Takahashi-san get away?

I guess the deal is off then.

Hey...give me back that laptop then.

It's a bargain if you think of it as

buying your life for 17.5 billion.

The visitor is leaving.

Are you sure? I know

how you're planning to use that money.

Using a foreign private military contractor as adviser,

you're planning something insane like a coup d'etat, aren't you?

You're using the money for your plan to use that opportunity to

bring Sakura Fubuki Association out in the open, aren't you?

- Is that what Takahashi-san told you? - That's why,

if you don't give me the money, I'm gonna tell the world everything.

Why don't you do that?

Without any evidence, it's just your imagination.

It's too bad your insane coup d'etat plot

isn't just your imagination too.

How many people do you have to kill before you're satisfied?

Is this what your mentor wanted you to do?

Excuse me.

The person who entrusted everything to you,

Shiroo Heizo-san, was it?

If he was still alive,

don't you think he wouldn't have allowed you to do such a stupid thing?

Oh?

That's it.

This Shiroo-san,

is he really dead?

I'm sorry I haven't kept in touch.

I'm the former Sawamura Hideto.

Maybe Shiroo-san's

still alive somewhere.

...huh?

Now, now...I'm going, I'm going.

If Shiroo-san's still alive,

things could get interesting.

- See you again. - We won't

be meeting anymore.

I knew it, he's still alive.

Shiroo Heizo.

May I

be allowed to be

set free now?

Aren't you

going to set me free?

Shiroo-san.

Yes, I'm leaving tomorrow.

Just as a precaution, please make sure the police doesn't move.

I've taken steps on my side.

I'm gonna expose it all.

The 300-million yen robbery.

He doesn't know?

Kaga retracted his confession.

He's now saying that he didn't kill Sugi Ryutaro,

nor does he know anything about this ringleader called Takahashi.

Kaga probably found out that Takahashi Hideo got away

and retracted his confession.

That's not possible. Kaga was in the interrogation room the whole time.

- Actually, within the police, there's Sakura... - Seike-san.

What about Sakura?

It's nothing.

I'm sorry.

Speaking of, I was called over to NPA earlier in regards to Kaga.

Ushii-kun, come with me.

Certainly.

- Chief... - Let me handle this.

Looks like you're not having any luck.

How long have you been there?

But first, shall we go somewhere else?

It's not safe here.

A coup d'etat with the money from the 300-million yen robbery?

Sawatari comes up with some insane ideas, huh?

We'll have to stop him right away.

How? The laptop, Takahashi, everything's gone.

Knowing Sawatari, he'll be extremely cautious

and he's probably planning to skip the country by tomorrow.

Tomorrow...

Ah~

If only,

if only you had Takahashi safely captured.

I'm sorry.

All we can do is expose everything now, right?.

By revealing everything,

I'm gonna put an end to Sawatari.

But if we don't have any evidence, no one will believe us.

I do have the evidence.

Did you know? Takahashi was being watched over the course of the entire 300-million yen robbery

by Shiroo from Public Security.

I didn't know that.

And because of that,

he was apparently under their control for 45 years.

- Under their control? - But...

I wonder if Takahashi's the only one.

For example, the founder of Sakura Fubuki Association

who knows all the secrets.

But Shiroo-san has already passed away.

Takahashi was supposedly dead too, right?

That's why~

suppose that Shiroo's alive, and suppose that we track down where he is

and can get him to testify,

I'm thinking maybe that's how we can get Sawatari to stop.

Is Shiroo-san alive?

Well, aside from that,

I do have one more thing.

What is this one more thing that you have?

Can't tell you yet~.

I know I've asked you a number of times already, but

what is your real objective?

It's revenge.

Shiroo Heizo?

He's Sawatari-san's former superior

who was known as Mr. Public Security.

I was told there's a possibility that he's alive somewhere.

Did that information come from Kurokouchi?

Yes.

October 2, 2005

Passed away at a social service facility, Akane, in Setagaya-ku, Tokyo.

Akane...

Grandpa, do you have a visitor?

Home Helper

AKANE

Let me have that for a minute.

The source of all Kurokouchi's information

may be her.

Hazuki...Tomo-san.

Maybe she was killed under the guise of an accident

because she tracked down the fact that Sakura Fubuki Association's Shiroo is still alive.

Why do you know about Sakura Fubuki Association?

Madarame-san, are you...

I'm just a temp.

Shiroo-san's alive?

I haven't confirmed it yet, but

if he's alive,

he might be the witness we need to arrest Sawatari-san...

Unfortunately, we were ordered by the top to stay away from Shuto Sohgo Security Company.

In other words, we can't touch Sawatari-san

who's virtually the head of that company either.

Could it be that the top and Sakura Fubuki Association are connected?

Who knows how who's connected to what,

and what's same as what.

Does that mean good and evil were the same?

Well, even if I was a member of Sakura Fubuki Association,

if you didn't know that,

you'd think I was upright and honest.

I'm just saying if I was.

Why, of course.

By the way, where is Kurokouchi-kun?

After thinking it over,

I got to wondering how Takahashi had a stun gun hidden away

when I did a thorough body check the other day.

The only ones there were

me, Seike-san, and...

Kurokouchi-san.

Surely, he didn't...

This is perfect exposure material.

Thank you very much, Takahashi-san~.
