LIGHT OF GOD RELIGION, HEADQUARTERS
Yes.
I believe it will be carried out without a hitch.
The enemy of our religion shall soon be eliminated.
11:38 A.M., SUNDAY, APRIL 9
Let's work hard again today.
Shall we start cleaning from the back?
Good morning.
-You hammered it on five. -Yes, I hit it hard. Real hard.
12:49 P.M.
I still can't improve.
Excuse me for a moment.
Yes?
We received an urgent message from our mole in the Light of God.
DAIKI KAJI, SENIOR COMMISSIONER NPA SECURITY BUREAU CHIEF
-Terrorism? - Yes.
The target?
Education Minister Okamoto.
We believe it's retribution
for revoking certification of the religion's university.
Time of execution?
We believe sometime today.
That's pretty vague information.
Our mole could only get partial information.
Any other information?
ID of one of the hit men.
He's a former cult member.
He was probably kicked out of the religion to do this
and kept under their wing.
What are the minister's plans for today?
He's currently at a luncheon for his local supporters.
He'll then take the bullet train to Tokyo, and go home.
The bullet train? I see.
Why don't we use our team?
The Special Security Squad?
That's right.
Their training is over, right?
Yes, but...
Then it shouldn't be a problem.
We created them for this purpose.
What's the point in not using them?
Get them on that bullet train.
-Understood? - Yes.
ODAWARA-NISHI STATION, 4:35 P.M.
FUMIAKI OKAMOTO, MINISTER OF EDUCATION
MITSUNARI YOSHINAGA, CHIEF INSPECTOR SPECIAL SECURITY SQUAD LEADER
I've located Minister Okamoto.
Do you know what this is?
-I don't know. Hold on. -Guess!
Commencing search for our target.
Oyama, do you have a photo yet?
REI OYAMA, SERGEANT
It just arrived.
I'm sending the photo.
YUSUKE KASHII, SERGEANT SPECIAL SECURITY SQUAD
SABURO TAMARU, SERGEANT SPECIAL SECURITY SQUAD
Okay, go find him.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Target apprehended.
We're currently in the corridor between cars five and six.
ODAWARA
NINOMIYA
OISO
HIRATSUKA
Ammonium nitrate.
It's a simple formula, but enough to blow up a train car.
Should I defuse it, just in case?
Can you do it fast?
-Three minutes is all I need. -Handle it.
Okay, excuse me for a moment.
You were going to leave the bomb on the train
and get off at the next station, right?
There's one more person, isn't there?
Your pulse is climbing.
Such a good, honest boy.
Get the call history.
Start over from the beginning.
Wait in car one.
Yes, sir.
Inami, return to car 16 and wait.
Roger.
Got it.
CALL HISTORY
I will call our new target in one minute.
I'll continue to call until they're identified.
Even if they don't answer, they'll react in some way.
Don't miss any reaction, no matter how small.
Wait close to the Minister.
If we can't find them before the next station,
we'll remove the Minister from the train.
Yes, sir.
Are you afraid?
Not in the least.
Excellent.
I'm dialing.
AKIRA INAMI, SERGEANT SPECIAL SECURITY SQUAD
Shouldn't you answer that?
Would anyone like hot coffee?
Slowly show me your hand.
Inami, are you there?
Respond!
I've always wanted to do this.
What?
Are you all right?
To the front of the train! Hurry!
How many more seconds?
This should be good.
I think I'll join you.
What was that?
-What's going on? -What's happening?
What just happened?
I wonder if they're dead.
He'll be severely reprimanded for this.
You bet he will.
No, that was pretty great.
Look!
Amazing!
They're alive.
Hey!
Hey!
He can see us!
Hey!
You guys wave too.
Hey!
12:18 P.M., MONDAY, APRIL 10
Something is wrong with that guy.
Get out of the way!
Help me!
This is what I call real joy and satisfaction.
BULLET TRAIN ESCAPE TRAGEDY
What did you think of how my thoroughbreds ran?
Do you have a problem with them?
Considering how they handled yesterday's situation,
I believe they acted far outside the norms of the organization.
It was a mere coincidence that nothing serious--
Coincidence? That's preposterous.
Do you think it was a mere coincidence that we found the other terrorist,
and a mere coincidence that the train stopped over a river?
If you still have hopes of being promoted, you'll stop believing in coincidences.
In the world of extreme professionals, that kind of thing doesn't exist.
Right now, we're in an era where government meets terrorism.
Incidents that defy the norm will happen with greater frequency,
and conventional policing wisdom won't be enough.
Therefore, any team that handles them must also work outside the norm.
Go ahead and answer.
Yes?
Okay.
Got it.
An incident out of the norm, right?
12:39 P.M.
TOKYO WATERWORKS EQUIPMENT SERVICE
What's the matter?
I have to go to work.
I thought you said today was your day off.
Apparently, a water pipe burst in my region.
Is that so?
Can I see you again?
Do you think you could give me your number?
TOKYO WATERWORKS EQUIPMENT SERVICE
Hey there.
You had some fun.
She was 21 or 22, right?
You can tell even that?
What amazing senses you have.
You live at Sun House Himonya, room 203.
You came home at 1:18 a.m.
You should turn off your GPS when you're up to no good.
I wasn't up to no good.
It was passionate love.
Call it what you like.
I guess he doesn't like talking about passionate love.
Unlike you guys, he's a gentleman.
Let's go.
KEISUKE UDAGAWA
The terrorist victim is Keisuke Udagawa, age, 23.
He's a law student at Kakei University.
His father is the current Foreign Minister, Yusuke Udagawa.
YUSUKE UDAGAWA
He's a former police bureaucrat
and National Public Security Commission Chairman.
He's considered a candidate for Prime Minister.
Here are the terrorists' demands.
"I, Keisuke Udagawa,
have committed numerous vulgar and inhumane crimes,
and used the power of my father, Foreign Minister Yusuke Udagawa,
to suppress and cover them up.
Even so, I have shown absolutely no remorse or regret,
so I am receiving this punishment.
To escape this...
death penalty,
there is only one thing that can be done.
My father, Minister Udagawa,
must appear live on the news at 7 p.m. tonight
and, in his own words, reveal all the crimes I have committed
and apologize for covering them up.
Then I entrust the handling of me and my father
to the honorable judgment of the citizens of this country."
I beg for your cooperation.
I wonder if there really were a bunch of crimes and cover-ups.
