Yeah?
Where are you now?
I told you, I'm on my way!
What's with the attitude? Your mother doesn't have long.
I know!
How long will you be?
Almost there. I'm hurrying, okay?
Have you been drinking again?
What? No.
-Please don't. Not at a time like this. -I haven't drunk anything. Not a drop!
Daddy, are you coming soon?
Hey, Mina. I'll be there soon. Just wait.
I'll call you back.
Hey, wait--
Yes?
Well, Kudo?
Where are you now?
Huh? Why?
We just heard from HQ.
The tabloids are going to write about our station taking bribes.
What?
Have you met with the Senba group recently?
Yeah, I met them.
Did they give you much?
-Well… -I'm asking what they gave you.
I only did it because you said so, Chief.
So it's you.
That's why they're on to us.
But obviously, we won't allow it to get out, right?
I don't know.
I mean, this is all on you.
Wait a moment.
It's not just me! Chief, you also--
An inspector from HQ will come to our station.
Wait, it's not just me.
You can't just put everything on me!
Hey, Chief! Hey!
Shit! Goddamn it.
I told you, I'm on my way!
Your mother,
she just passed away.
Come quickly.
Shit.
Shit!
Hey.
Hey!
Why?
Why did all this happen?
MISAKO
Bloody hell!
Shit.
Shit!
Shit.
MISAKO
Shit.
Are you serious?
Good evening.
We're taking sobriety tests.
Keep up the good work.
Please blow here.
No, I'm good, thanks.
-I'm Kudo from Aihara station. -Oh, sir.
A busy end of year for you all. See you.
Oh?
Look, it's Mr. Kudo.
Hey, it's Detective Kudo.
Thanks for your work.
Well,
the year's nearly over already.
How's your year been, Mr. Kudo?
Blow into it, please.
-I don't need to do that. -Please blow.
Don't ask a colleague to do that.
Been drinking with girls at some bar?
You're joking.
As if.
Please blow.
Okay, I did drink.
Just a social drink. That's all.
Look, we're both police. Give me a break.
Mr. Kudo.
This is good timing. Get out so we can chat.
Listen, I'm in a rush!
What's that?
It's nothing.
-What happened? -Nothing.
-Really? -It's nothing, I said.
What happened here?
I bumped into something.
-Was it an accident? -Just a bump. Nothing major.
-What? -Okay, fine!
You want me to get out, right?
Mr. Kudo.
You've overstepped.
Everyone knows you accepted Senba bribes.
Now you've had an accident. Sorry, but we have to inspect your car.
That's going too far.
Hey, wait a minute!
Give me a break. I need to go!
Your phone's ringing.
That's not mine.
-Must be yours. -That's not my ringtone.
What?
Wait a minute.
Wait!
Well, I just stuffed everything in there.
Whose is it?
-You said there's nothing in there. -Exactly.
Let's open the trunk.
Hey, wait a minute!
Wait! I told you not to open it!
-Open it. -Hey!
What the hell?
What's got into you?
What's this prick doing?
What the hell are you doing?
-Stop! -Be still!
Stay still! Don't move!
Did something happen?
-Not your concern. -Back to your car.
I'm Yazaki from the regional police HQ.
Are you okay?
What are you fighting about?
Evening, sir.
I'm Kaji from the traffic division at Aihara station.
Detective Kudo from the same station.
Detective?
You're a detective from Aihara station?
Mr. Kudo, I'm an Internal Affairs inspector.
Inspector?
Yeah. Perfect timing.
I'm on my way to your station now. We've already been in touch.
Would you come with me?
I'm really sorry.
-What is it? -My mother just died.
I'm hurrying to the hospital right now.
I planned to go to the station after that.
I see.
So you'll come to the station after?
Yes, I will.
Okay. I'll see you then.
Thank you.
Bloody hell.
AIHARA CENTRAL HOSPITAL
I was like, "Where did it go?" And I looked up.
-A hawk was there. -Whoa.
That's why you need to be really careful.
-Daddy! -Mina.
Mina.
May I move her?
Oh, yeah.
Pardon me.
They have to move your mother right away.
Move her?
Yes. I'm very sorry, but the hospital is not a morgue.
Yeah, but right away?
-Come on. -I know.
What was it again?
Mr. Kudo, have you decided on a funeral home?
Funeral home?
If you haven't chosen yet, there's a company we use often.
I can contact them if you'd like.
Please.
We will be happy to arrange it.
No good. He's not picking up.
What the hell is he up to?
I'm Yazaki from Internal Affairs.
Thanks for coming.
Yes, especially this time of year.
Of course.
Congratulations on your marriage.
I'm not sure where the rumors came from.
It's not like you can accept bribes these days when compliance is so strict.
I'll need accounts for the last decade to check for any inappropriate expenses.
-Prepare them by tomorrow. -Of course.
Also, there's a detective named Kudo working here, right?
That's right. Is there something up?
I would like to talk to him.
I actually met him on the way here.
He said his mother just passed away.
I see.
So you hadn't been contacted yet.
Apparently, he was rushing to the hospital.
He said he'd come here afterward, so I'll wait for him here.
Oh, so that's why.
So is it something Kudo did?
Just something I need to speak to him about.
Is the Kudo family there?
Yes.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
My name is Takehara from Heartful Aihara.
You have my deepest condolences.
We received your telephone inquiry regarding your mother's resting place.
How about our own Aihara Hall?
If you choose our--
Sorry.
-Come on! -Yep.
Kudo, did your mother pass away?
Yes. I'm at the hospital right now.
You said you'd come to the station after, right?
Who did you hear that from?
The inspector is here. He's waiting for you.
When are you coming?
First, we'll move her to Aihara Hall…
Aihara Hall! Sounds good. Let's do that.
I have to move my mother's body to the venue now, so today will be tricky.
-Kudo, what are you doing? -I'll be at the station in the morning.
-Sorry about that. Thanks a lot. -Kudo!
I'm sorry. That was Kudo.
He can't come tonight because of the funeral preparations.
He said he'll come tomorrow morning.
I see.
Tomorrow morning.
Yes.
I understand.
Until tomorrow, then.
This is bad.
Today we will keep your mother in the mortuary.
Thank you.
We're going home. We'll come again tomorrow.
You'll help with the funeral too?
I have to, right?
We're still "family," for now.
Get that thing to me soon, okay?
Yes, I know.
-Yes? -Where are you now?
Now? Aihara Hall.
Right.
We'll be there soon. Wait at the entrance.
We need to agree on a story about the bribes.
Wait a minute!
Can't we wait until tomorrow?
We're arriving now. Come outside.
That's it there.
Right.
Shit.
Hey!
Are you okay?
Totally fine.
Sorry to hear about your mother.
Thanks. What's this about the inspector?
The inspector wants to speak to you tomorrow.
Come to the station first thing.
Maybe they know about your dealings with Senba.
The boss was just a customer at my mother's place.
That's enough.
Wait a second, Chief.
It's not just me who received bribes, right?
-The leak was about something recent. -But it goes way back, right?
What did you do with the money you got?
Chief.
Just heard from Kaji in traffic.
Hey…
Kudo was stopped at an inspection point and didn't show them what was in his car.
What?
Better not be anything illegal in there.
Of course there isn't!
He drove away without being checked, saying his mother had just died.
Come on, don't be ridiculous!
The traffic division…
They just started accusing me.
Hey. Open it.
Yes, sir.
Chief, my mother just died.
Give me a break, will you?
Really pisses me off.
Sorry I didn't believe you.
Calm down.
DIVORCE APPLICATION
Pull over to your left.
Hello.
So,
that was a red light. Didn't you notice?
Your mother died?
Bit of a dangerous place to park, no?
Well?
Stupid.
What?!
Excuse me. It's about Kudo.
What now?
He caused an accident somewhere, but he's on his way.
What the hell is he doing?
Excuse me.
Hey!
Hurry up!
What's with that car?
It's a rental.
Mine's being repaired.
Come on.
Excuse me.
Go on.
We'll leave you to it.
Seems like you're the one with links to the Senba group.
Well,
you see…
It's okay.
It happens.
What?
A bit of cash to turn a blind eye. That's all it is, right?
Don't worry.
If that's it, then I'll cover it up.
In my view,
you need people like that in an organization.
Many things in this world can't be resolved "neatly."
Right.
But, Mr. Kudo…
there's something else you're hiding, isn't there?
Have you been dragged into something?
No.
The first thing we do in our line of work is observe people's behavior.
When I said I'd cover this up, you didn't seem very relieved,
which means there's some other issue, correct?
No, I…
No.
Mr. Kudo.
Please talk to me.
I can help you.
There's nothing, really.
Really?
Yes.
I see.
Well, I'm glad.
What's going on in there?
They've been a while.
-What if he mentions you, Chief? -Sorry to keep you waiting.
It's nothing that warrants any fuss at this time of year.
I'll tell my superiors there's nothing to worry about.
I'll be off, then. Happy New Year.
-Thanks for coming. -Thank you.
What a relief.
What's with that guy?
AIHARA HALL
We will now close the coffin.
Would you like to see the face one last time?
We will now close the coffin.
Excuse me. It seems the ceremony can be held at a Zenmyoji temple branch.
A funeral on New Year's Eve.
If left until the new year, the funeral would have to be much later.
After the funeral at Zenmyoji,
the body will be cremated at the town crematorium.
Cremated…
Do you know where Zenmyoji is?
-There's a map on the other side. -Thank you.
Have you sent out invites for people attending tomorrow?
Wait!
That is wonderful to hear!
The chief mourner will keep the wake candle burning
instead of holding an official ceremony.
You're going to stay here all night?
She was a single mother, and I was her only child.
It's nothing.
Daddy's not coming home, then?
Tonight Daddy's going to stay with Grandma.
Then I'm staying too!
No, you can't.
Let Daddy take care of it tonight, okay?
Okay, Mina, let's go.
Don't be late tomorrow.
All right.
Bye-bye.
Let's go.
Sorry, Mom. I'm so sorry.
Sorry.
It's fine.
Oh, Mom…
I'm so sorry.
Excuse me.
Good evening.
Yes, that's right.
Crap!
In here.
Why?
It's too soon.
Sorry.
Thought I was alone.
Oh, no…
Sorry to have barged in like that.
Sorry.
That's fine.
We… we've come to replace the dry ice.
The dry ice?
The dry ice inside the coffin.
Oh.
The dry ice.
Well, then.
Would you let me change the dry ice?
What?
As a final gesture for my mother.
I want to be the one who does it.
We understand.
Please.
There.
There's a special way--
It's fine.
I've got this.
Oh, right.
-The placing-- -It's fine.
On the stomach and chest.
-On the stomach and chest. -Yes.
Stomach and…
TOUCH ID OR ENTER PASSCODE
Good evening.
Mr. Senba, why are you here?
It's not like I can come to the funeral.
I shouldn't be meeting you right now.
Because some journalist is sniffing around?
Let me pray for her.
Can I see her face?
It must be a weight off your shoulders.
Her medical and care costs must have been no joke.
I'm still in debt hell as a result.
Kazue kept saying the same thing.
She didn't want to be stuck in a place like this.
Her final days spent as a barmaid in the boonies.
With a little more money, she thought she'd live a better life.
Kept saying that until the end.
Who cares.
Once you're dead, it's all over.
There's a lizard that lives in the desert.
Huh?
This desert is completely barren.
During the day, the lizard manages to stand on the sand
by hopping on its right and left leg.
The sand is hot.
When it gets hot, it hops to the opposite leg.
Hopping back and forth.
It keeps its body still and switches between legs
until the sun sets.
Better to go somewhere else, surely,
but it doesn't leave.
It just keeps switching between its legs
from birth until death.
What's your point?
Do you want to get out of the desert?
What?
For that, you'll need money.
An amount large enough to change the way you live.
Sure, and where would I find that kind of money?
Zenmyoji.
They're stacked to the rafters.
Zenmyoji.
We're having the funeral there tomorrow.
Their main temple is the biggest in this region.
They have strong links with politicians in central government.
High-ranking officials make a special effort to visit.
Why the fuss over a little rural temple?
They've been collecting large donations from those officials.
I know.
Apparently, all that cash is kept in the temple's secret vault.
That's right.
That would be fine
if they were managing it properly.
What?
Those high-ranking officials are using the temple
to "purify" their dirty money.
The temple receives a commission for its services.
In other words, money laundering.
However…
a young guy named Oda was supposed to guard the cash,
but he stole some and ran away.
How much?
Not sure, but over a hundred million.
I know where that Oda punk is hiding.
What are you telling me to do?
You catch him.
Then the police follow the trail and expose the temple,
and I take over things.
Interested?
Oh man!
My mother just died, you know.
Be more sensitive.
Don't you want to get out of the desert?
-Hello. -Hey.
Look at this.
Hajime Oda, 29 years old.
He has a criminal record for selling cannabis.
-He's a young pup. -Yep.
Take a good look at his face.
That's Oda?
Hey, do you know him?
No.
Hey, I got the search warrant.
That was quick!
It's the end of the year. I bet you all want a break.
Let's get this over with.
Yes, sir!
Right, all set?
-Yes! -Yep!
There it is. You can see it now.
Oh, right.
Wait here, please.
Let's go. You guys go around.
Sure.
Hey, Kudo!
Don't be so obvious!
Right.
It just feels like he's not here.
Why? It was your tip-off.
I've just got this feeling he's not here.
-Come on. -Yeah.
-Well? -He's not here.
Crap.
Looks like he left in a hurry.
He must have known we were coming.
NEW MESSAGE
I KNOW WHAT YOU DID
YOU KILLED SOMEONE
YOU KILLED ODA YOU'RE A MURDERER
WHO IS THIS?
YOU CAN'T ESCAPE I KNOW EVERYTHING
What are you doing here?
Nothing…
As I thought, nothing here.
Right, yeah.
Huh? Isn't that a security camera?
Hey.
Look.
Hey!
-Yes? -Yeah?
There's a security camera there.
Maybe it caught something.
Right. It could have caught Oda escaping.
Right. Let's go and check it out.
Yes, sir.
Excuse me.
-Could we see footage from that camera? -Sure.
What the hell?
The quality sucks.
It's probably an old camera.
Must have been set up ages ago.
Isn't it your mother's funeral today?
I've still got time.
And? Did it show anything?
No, nothing.
Hardly any cars or people pass by there.
Wait, something just passed by.
Pause it.
There.
-One more time. -Okay.
Huh? What was that?
That car stopped abruptly.
One more time.
-When was this? -Two days ago.
It's raining pretty hard.
Get the car's plate.
Sure.
Zoom in.
Okay.
Zoom in more.
Okay.
Is that a three?
An eight?
-Eight, I think? -That's a three.
-It doesn't join on the left. -Yeah.
Shit, I can't make it out!
We can't go on that.
-Damn. -Okay, I'm going.
I have the funeral.
I'm the chief mourner.
Sorry, it looks like he's arrived.
Why are you late?
I had work.
Hurry up!
What's with the car?
Where's Mina?
Your colleague is looking after her.
-What? -Thank him afterward.
Who?
Come on, hurry!
What?
Hurry!
UNKNOWN CALLER
Yeah?
You sure are calm, considering you just killed someone.
Right?
Who are you?
You're finished.
I don't know what you're talking about.
If it's a prank, I'm hanging up.
Hang up and I'll report it.
I'll report the corrupt cop who ran over Oda and disposed of the body.
Right, Yuji Kudo?
So you…
were watching?
Yeah, I saw everything.
So,
you know where I buried the body?
Of course I know.
You dumbass!
I haven't buried anything!
You haven't seen a thing, have you?
You're just talking shit, stupid idiot!
Don't mess with me!
You fucking brat! Think you're smart?
Asshole!
Oda.
I want to know where Oda is, you bastard!
Come on, fucker!
I know you put the body in the trunk, right?
Tell me!
Spit it out!
Where is he?
Tell me now!
Spit it out!
Listen carefully.
If you don't hand him over, your daughter will vanish.
Bring him to me.
At 5:00 p.m. today.
Got it?
You've reached voice mail.
Please leave a message after the beep.
Press "1" to end the recording.
Press "#" to check or change your message.
Oda, answer your phone.
I'll still give you a chance.
Your message has been record--
Son of a bitch.
That idiot Oda.
He didn't know security required a key card and a fingerprint.
Even though it only opens with your fingerprints, Yazaki.
Sorry.
So Oda ran off with the key?
Yes.
But he hasn't taken the money.
-That's right. -It's simple, then.
Just need to catch this Oda and get the key back, right?
Yes.
But it must be before the end of the year.
I promised them we'd hand over the money at the start of the year.
They're an important client. You understand, right?
I understand.
Find him. Use the yakuza if need be.
Yes, sir.
Don't embarrass me, okay?
You're going to be my son-in-law tomorrow.
Yes, sir.
Also, about the bribery case at Aihara station,
just let that lie.
Those beggars are just trying to earn a bit of loose change.
Well, well.
Should someone from police HQ really be visiting me?
Hajime Oda, 29 years old. We need you to find him.
You must be in a real quandary
if you need help from an old yakuza nearing retirement.
We want him by the end of the year. Can you do it?
How much will you pay for finding him?
Ten million.
Ten million yen for a young hoodlum.
What on earth did he do?
I'd rather you not ask questions.
Of course.
We'll find him.
Welcome home.
I'm back.
It's nearly ready.
Sure.
I heard you saw my dad today.
Oh?
He called.
He said how hard you've been working.
Yeah, it's been pretty busy.
THERE'S STILL TIME
TELL ME
-Here you are. -Thank you.
Something up?
No, nothing.
Oh, yes.
I wrote something for the ceremony tomorrow.
-Can you listen to it? -Sure.
You can eat while I read.
Right.
"Dear Mom and Dad,
thank you for raising me."
"As an only child, I used to wish I had siblings."
"But now I realize I was lucky."
"It means I was able to have your love and affection all to myself…"
NEW MESSAGE ODA
SCREWED IF YOU CAN'T GET THAT MONEY, HUH?
SERVES YOU RIGHT, PRICK
"Dad, when I was really ill,
even though you were away for work,
you came back to see me every week."
"That made me so happy."
WE'VE DONE A LOT FOR YOU
"Today my name will change…
WE'VE DONE A LOT FOR YOU UP TO NOW
…from Yukiko Uematsu to Yukiko Yazaki."
BUT YOU TREATED ME LIKE AN IDIOT
"But I'll always be your loving daughter…
forever and ever."
REAP WHAT YOU SOW YOU'RE DONE
"Mom, Dad, I'm so grateful for everything you've done for me."
BTW YOUR WEDDING IS TOMORROW, RIGHT?
"Thank you."
WISHING YOU THE UTMOST HAPPINESS LOL
That was so moving.
Cold, huh, Chief?
This is the worst time for a wedding.
UNLESS IT'S ME, THAT DOOR WON'T OPEN
No one holds a wedding after the 28th, right?
GIVE UP ALREADY
-Not if you're sensible. -Right.
Only the elite can get away with a wedding at the end of the year.
Director General Uematsu is the only elite around here.
Honestly, making a move on the director general's only daughter?
Yeah. Must be desperate for a promotion.
How's it going?
They're looking for him now.
A dog that bites its owner needs putting down.
You know what to do with Oda when he's found, right?
-Yes. -Right?
Yes.
-Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Yazaki. -Sure.
The hall is making handprint artwork of the bride and groom.
Press your hand here.
A handprint?
-Oh, yes, you said. -Yes.
Like this?
Yes. We'll get the bride's print once you've both changed clothes.
-Thanks. -That's really nice.
A great way to remember this day.
-Want mine as well? -No, thank you.
No?
Right, I'll press here.
Thank you very much.
Sorry to interrupt.
It's time now for a special event.
We would like to create an artwork of your handprints
to symbolize your unending love for each other.
The meaning imbued in this artwork is that,
hand in hand, the couple will share any happiness
and overcome any difficulty together.
First, we'll ask the bride, Yukiko.
And the groom, Takayuki, please.
Thank you very much.
Everyone, please come to the front, and we'll take a picture.
Hello, Mr. Yazaki.
Oda might be on his way there now. I'll be there soon.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Actually, already here.
I did it. It's done.
-Oh, you did it? -Yes.
You won't be able to open the vault now, will you?
Even though the officials' money is in there.
You're screwed now, aren't you? Will they let you live?
-What'll you-- -Hey, Oda.
-Huh? -Do you understand what you've done?
Mr. Yazaki.
You're finished.
Suck on that!
Dumbass!
Are you stupid?
What the hell are you doing?
I'm very sorry.
If we can't get the money back, I'm finished.
As are you, of course.
-Yes. -Understand?
I'm sorry.
It'll be fine. Relax.
Yes, sir.
-You will find Oda and snuff him out. -Yes.
-And return the key. -Yes, sir.
-You can do that, no problem, right? -Yes.
No problem.
-Yes. -Dad!
-One of the guests wants a photo with you. -Sure, just a sec.
By the end of today.
Got it?
Yes.
Yes?
This is Senba.
Yazaki, it seems luck is on your side.
My guys found that punk Oda's hideout.
Really?
Oda was selling drugs on the side.
He was using some girl from a nightclub to sell his stuff.
We tracked her and found his hideout.
That's good to hear.
Where is this place?
I'll tell you.
It's just that ten million isn't really enough.
What?
I had it looked into.
That's some amount.
That's one big pile you're dealing with.
Who told you?
As payment for finding him,
one hundred million?
One hundred million, how about that?
If Oda takes it, there'll be nothing.
Don't worry. We've taken care of that.
What's this?
Hey, what's going on?
This isn't what we agreed on!
Oda, you're late.
Where's Oda?
Has he gone to get the money?
Well?
Will he be coming back here?
Hey, Mayuko.
It's no good. The Senba group was there.
It's not what they promised.
Messing with me.
What's the matter?
Oda.
I was an idiot to trust you.
You can pay me back now by dying.
Seriously?
Seriously.
You…
Shit.
You little punk!
Don't mess with me!
You fucking punk!
Hey!
What is this? Hey!
Hey, wait!
No…
He has taken off with him!
Shit!
What the hell is he doing?
Evening, sir. I'm Kaji from the traffic division at Aihara station.
Detective Kudo from the same station.
Detective? You're a detective from Aihara station?
-Yazaki from Internal Affairs. -Thanks for coming.
Thanks for coming at this time of year.
Sure.
Congratulations on your wedding today.
That was Kudo.
He can't come tonight because of the funeral preparations.
He said he'll come tomorrow morning.
I see.
AIHARA POLICE STATION
So…
you're telling me that detective took the body away,
and now you have no idea where it is?
Yes.
But I'm meeting that detective in the morning,
so I'll somehow persuade him and get it back.
I'm very sorry.
How stupid can you be?
I had no idea you were such a loser!
I'm ashamed of myself!
Ashamed I chose someone as stupid as you!
I thought you were loyal to me.
That's why I gave you special treatment.
But you were just a stupid fool!
I shouldn't have let you have my daughter.
I thought you'd be more useful.
But enough is enough.
Leave my daughter at the start of the new year.
Forget any ideas you had about being promoted.
You're finished.
Uematsu.
Yazaki!
FUNERAL
Honestly.
What happened to your face?
What is it?
I'll leave the rest to you.
-Yes, sir. -Mr. Kugayama.
-It's about the car. -What's up?
We got this from another security camera.
What do you mean?
Don't worry. I'll bring Mina back after the funeral.
What do you mean, "don't worry"?
Does that mean they've abducted Mina?
Answer me!
I told you not to worry.
-It'll be fine. -What is going on?
What is this?
Why?
Why does this stuff always happen with you?
If something happens to Mina,
I will never forgive you.
His poor wife. It's a lot to handle at this time of year.
Now we'll bring out the coffin.
-This isn't easy. -Careful!
You okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
It's so heavy.
Wait a minute.
Oh, I kicked someone's shoes.
-It's fine. -Your shoes?
I've got them on.
Watch the step.
All good.
There we go.
Thanks.
The Kudo family, please take the bus.
HEARTFUL AIHARA
NEW MESSAGE
AIHARA RESERVOIR, AICHI PREFECTURE
Hello again.
I will now show you to the waiting room.
Please watch the step.
Hey, wait.
I have to take this.
Stop right there!
Police.
-There's been an incident. -Incident?
I need you to go to a safe place immediately.
What?
-Come on now, hurry! -Yes!
Wait! Why did you switch it on?
Kudo.
Kugayama.
What are you hiding from us?
What?
This is your car, right?
Come on.
Just tell me the truth.
I'll tell you later.
I need your help.
What?
Damn!
Ready, and…
Seriously, what kind of story is that?
Sounds made up.
I wish it were.
Why does he want this body so much?
That's what I want to know.
Did you take a good look?
What?
He's been shot.
What?
Which means he was shot before you ran him over.
What the hell? What's going on here?
MISSED CALLS MAYUKO, YAZAKI
MAYUKO
Hi, Oda?
You're alive! I was so worried.
I called so many times.
Why didn't you answer? I thought you were dead!
Such a relief.
I was really worried!
Where are you now? The factory?
Okay. I'll be there soon.
Hey, you're late!
What?
Wait, what?
Wait, who are you?
Go away! Seriously, who are you?
He's the one who ran off with the key card!
This is it.
GOOD LUCK CHARM
So that's what it's about.
By the way, the second lock won't open without his fingerprint.
So that's why he wanted the body.
I can't take this.
What will you do?
Get my daughter back.
That's dangerous.
It's the only thing I can do.
I'll get Chief Awashima's advice.
You just think about how to rescue your daughter.
But don't do anything on your own.
We'll take care of it somehow.
Kugayama.
Thanks.
UNKNOWN CALLER
Yes?
Who are you with right now?
None of your business.
Don't you care what happens to your daughter?
I need to talk with you.
Get out of the car.
What is it?
Move away from the car first.
Then I'll tell you.
What…
what have you done?
What the hell did you do?
Don't get any stupid ideas.
You should be talking to me.
Mina…
If anything happens to Mina, there'll be hell to pay.
Hey!
Bring Oda's body.
Fuck!
What was that loud noise?
You okay?
You gonna cut me free?
Come on. Do it quickly.
Hey, what are you doing?
Hey, stop that!
Are you crazy? Stop that!
Wait--
As soon as you swap the body for your daughter,
no doubt he'll take you out.
Whoa, incredible.
What era is this?
If it comes to a normal gunfight, you won't beat him.
I know that.
But what other way is there?
Oh, this takes me back!
I made this myself.
What is it?
A bomb?
It blows up exactly four minutes after you set it.
Those were the good old days.
Did you bring it?
Mina?
She's in the car. Show me the body.
-Mina! -You show me first.
Is she really there?
Show me if she is.
Get out.
-Daddy! -Mina.
Mina!
You won't get her until I've checked the body.
Bring it here.
Open it up.
Put him in.
Good.
-Daddy! -Mina!
Mina, I'm so sorry.
Hey!
No time for a little chat?
Mina, listen to me.
Listen, okay?
Get into that car over there.
Daddy will join you soon, okay?
Ready, go!
If I don't return in one piece,
the media will get a copy of your indictment.
I've arranged it with the Senba boss.
I've given you the body.
I don't want anything more to do with this now.
What now?
I was right. You and I are the same.
What?
What's the point of being a detective in a town like this?
What?
Dragged around by whatever's in front of you, day after day,
with only pennies to show for it.
Is that how you want to live your life?
Come on, Kudo.
Join me.
You'll be rich.
If you have money, you can do anything.
Well?
Go to hell.
What?
-Mina! -Mommy!
Mina!
I'm so relieved.
I'm so glad you're safe.
Mina and I are leaving this town.
We can't be here any longer.
Okay.
What are you going to do now?
There's a lizard that lives in the desert.
What?
The sand on the ground is hot,
so it hops from one leg to the other
while staying in the same place on the sand.
Better to go somewhere else, surely.
But it doesn't leave.
It just keeps hopping from one leg to the other.
It doesn't leave the desert.
I'm sorry I couldn't make you happy.
This year was full-on.
Yeah. We got through it though.
GOOD LUCK CHARM
Please come forward slowly.
It's snowing.
Wow.
-Snow? -Hey, it started snowing!
Excitement is rising as the start of the new year approaches.
How has this year been for you?
"If you have money, you can do anything."
Ready, and…
The countdown has started.
-Ten, nine, eight… -Just a few moments until the new year.
…seven, six,
five, four, three,
two…
It's the start of a new year.
Happy New Year to you all!
Sorry, Kudo.
It was me who tipped off the tabloids about the bribes.
This world didn't leave us enough money to pass on to the next generation.
But it's all right.
Now we're loaded.
All thanks to you both.
So there were two desert lizards who writhed around
and ended up dying from the heat.
Get the money out.
WHAT WILL THE NEW YEAR BRING?
How do you feel? Any New Year's resolutions?
Hello.
Were you sleeping?
What's the matter?
Nothing.
Just wanted to have a proper chat.
What is it?
Are you really leaving?
Hey.
Can't we give it one more go?
How can you say that?
Incredible.
I have a feeling…
that this is going to be a good year.
Last year really sucked.
But I think this year will be better.
You say that every year.
Oh, right.
Is it Daddy?
Yeah.
Daddy, come back home soon!
You heard her.
Just come home soon.
Yeah.
Okay.
HARD DAYS
Sorry! I'm sorry!
I'll pay you properly. This month.
I swear! Please!
Somebody, help!
I'll pay you. I'm sorry.
Hey, kid.
Do you want to get out of the desert?
What?
