[Kaede] Wh-Whoa! Whoa, whoa!
[Kaede yells]
Wait! Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa! Whoa, wait! Whoa! Stop! Stop, stop, stop, stop. Stop!
[gasps] Whoa, okay, don't!
Look, Kaede-san.
[breathes heavily]
[Takumi] It's not like I'm asking you a huge favor.
Just that I don't want you to be able to refuse it.
Yeah, whatever. I'll do whatever.
Anything you want!
Hey! You need to be more respectful.
[screams] Oh my God!
Wait! Wait, wait.
- [Orochi] You gonna do what we say? - I will! Give me a chance!
- [Orochi] You gonna do it? - Yes! Don't do it, please!
Oh God! Oh God! [groans]
With this, we can use him to get Kawai out of the temple whenever we want to.
The expression on a person's face when they're backed into a corner is exquisite.
I am curious what expression he'd have on his face if you had let him fall.
Die Hard, the movie. Have you ever seen it?
Uh, yes.
There's a scene at the end where Hans, the main antagonist,
falls from the building.
Of course, most of it was CGI,
but Hans was dropped from a height of 13 meters.
The crew explained to him…
"Three, two, one, go,"
and then they would let go.
But what they actually did was,
"Three, two,
one,"
and let go.
That's how they were able to capture that expression.
An exquisite, realistic mix of surprise and fear.
Hans Gruber,
he was a great villain.
Brilliant-minded, formidable, diabolical, but still a gentleman.
He was an attractive character filled with both pathos and a sense of humor.
That movie became a classic because of Hans.
It was all because of what Hans did and who he was.
Not because of that stupid hero.
I don't really remember it well.
It seems that Goto-san was able to make contact with Abiru Holdings.
I think it's best that we speed up solidifying the imposter.
The information should be reaching Sekiyo about now.
I agree. I'll touch base with Reiko-san.
And what about Takeshita-san?
Right.
He hasn't been in touch recently.
Not even to beg me for money.
But his job is almost done with, so I'm not worried.
[tense music plays]
[Takeshita hums]
[Takeshita inhales sharply]
[Takeshita sighs]
[tense music continues]
[groans]
[narrator] Land swindlers are members of real estate fraud groups
who pose as property owners trying to sell their land.
These fraud groups steal large sums of money
using deceit and forged documents.
Land fraud groups contain a leader, negotiator, informer,
legal advisor, document forger, and imposter recruiter.
Each group member must possess precise and highly-advanced criminal techniques.
[music fades]
How is it going? Have you found a new plot of land for us yet?
[Aoyagi] No, not yet, but…
Just between us, a potential equal to Oimachi…
Actually, not equal to. A bigger thing has come up.
Oh?
- Is it ours yet? - I'm still working on a few things.
The landowner's been known to be stubborn. She's been holding on tight to the land.
Our entire division is doing what we can.
I see. It's not possible to play rough like we used to.
You and I had a lot of tricks up our sleeve, didn't we?
We certainly did.
Well in order for us to climb even higher than we are,
there's no room for us to be stumbling around in the dark.
Don't worry, I'm fully aware of that.
The chairman is going out of town next week. Kazakhstan for a month.
He's obsessed with this project right now.
But my prediction, I don't think it's going to go smoothly.
I think he'll probably need more than a month.
- Great. - Make sure that by then, it's figured out.
You have my word.
[woman] Excuse me.
- President, you're scheduled to leave now. - Okay.
- Then I will leave you to it. - [Abekawa] Sure.
Are you all right?
Fine.
You don't look like you're all right to me.
[tense music plays]
[cell phone buzzes]
Yes?
Yeah?
On my way.
- You're sure about that? - I'm sure.
Although the information came out of nowhere,
what's certain is that the asset manager of the temple
is offering to sell the land to a company called Abiru Holdings.
Abiru?
Real estate business, resort development. Apparel?
Why sell to this dull company?
- Have we dealt with them in the past? - We have not.
Their turnover last year was 15 billion.
We found no problems that might cause issues in the deal
when we ran a credit check on them. Excuse me.
Look, do you see this female advisor here?
She's married to Diet Member Tabuse of the Liberal Democratic Party.
He supports construction interests. I believe we can trust Abiru.
We need to hurry. If we know this information,
there is a high chance that other companies do as well.
Tokyu Corp leads development around Yamanote Line stations--
What? You haven't made a move yet, have you?
I thought maybe I should check with you first.
Idiot! Go contact them right now!
Ah, yes, yes! I'm sorry.
You heard him.
[cell phone buzzes]
What? I'm busy working.
[Takumi] Which work?
[Reiko] Huh?
At the banquet, or looking for an imposter?
Doing both. What's the situation over there?
Sekiyo's like a moth to the flame with the trap we set.
So we've started making the documents, but--
But you need a photo for the driver's license and passport.
Yes. There will likely be some movement next week,
so if you could get on that as soon as possible.
All right. I gotta go.
[sighs]
[tense music plays]
Hey, Takumi-kun, which parts should I black out on this sales contract?
[Takumi] Oh, um, all the parts about the price.
Here, here, and also here.
Ten billion! Insane.
It's like the biggest deal you've ever had.
I guess it is.
[tense music continues]
You've been working very hard.
You have as well.
You can have this if you want.
I pressed the wrong button when I tried to get coffee.
Oh no, it's okay, really.
[Reiko] Here.
That's very kind of you.
[gentle music plays]
- Your son? - What?
Apologies, I glanced at your phone.
Oh.
- How old? - Uh…
- He just turned ten. - Oh my.
That makes him a year younger than my son.
You have one too?
Mm-hmm.
I did. I really miss him.
What?
He passed away five years ago.
Hey, can I show you a photo of Ryuto?
Oh, of course. That'd be great.
One moment.
If I'm going to show you a photo, I want you to see the cutest one.
Which one's the best?
[intriguing music plays]
Ah. This one.
Look.
Oh.
What a smile!
He was so shy as an only child.
He complained about not wanting to go to elementary school.
But once he got there, he couldn't get enough of it.
You know, my son was the exact same way.
He was?
My son was popular with other kids.
They all wanted him to join the soccer club and play with them.
He was pretty terrible at first.
He worked very hard at it.
Eventually, he got good enough to play some matches.
He had a match. It was a Sunday game.
But on his way there…
he was hit by a car.
[Reiko cries]
I'm so sorry.
[Reiko sniffs]
I'm sorry, That was too much, wasn't it?
Can you tell me your son's name?
Kenta.
Does Kenta-kun do anything for fun? Perhaps a sport?
[sniffles]
He's just been hospitalized a while.
He's ill.
What?
I'm sorry for prying.
It must be rough.
I'm thinking maybe it would be a good idea if I went back to Chiba Prison.
For Tsujimoto Masami?
Yes. If I could talk with him some more,
I feel like maybe I could uncover something.
- What could you find? - Mm, I don't know.
I think Tsujimoto Takumi hasn't completely cut ties with his family just yet.
This letter, for example. He submitted a change of address application.
Or maybe
I could check the grave of his deceased wife and son.
They're still his family and it's almost the anniversary of their deaths.
He might show up. It's worth a shot.
Or not.
The Takumi of today
might have decided to throw away everything holding him in his past
the moment he decided to become a land swindler.
Well…
- Tatsu-san, would you do the same? - What?
Like, what if, hypothetically,
the same thing suddenly happened to your wife and daughter?
If you threw away your past, would you block them from your mind?
Why would you ask me that question?
I'm not married, I don't have children.
I'm not able to answer that question, so I asked you.
You have an entire family. I'm curious what you'd do.
No, I would never be able to do something like that.
And why? Why is that?
It's not something… I just wouldn't.
Because you really love your family, right?
You're being presumptuous.
You're telling me you don't have a family photo under all that clutter on your desk.
- Mm, I'm not the type. - You're lying, let's look.
You can stop now.
[Kuramochi] Look at that. I knew you had one.
I don't think it would be that easy.
He wouldn't be able to forget them. Am I right?
- Tatsu-san, can I have a word? - Of course.
It's about the murder victim that the First Division is investigating.
Isn't this the same land shark
who was involved in the fraud case you were working on?
Oh, Hayashi Toshikatsu. That's right.
[man] Yeah, I thought so.
So, what's going on with that?
Well, he was discovered yesterday,
so there's not much of anything going on at the moment.
[Tatsu] Uh-huh.
[phone rings]
Hello, Haba speaking.
[pensive music plays]
Uh-huh, uh-huh. Yes.
Yeah, I'm on it.
Wait, where are you going?
I'll leave Tsujimoto's father in your capable hands.
What?
[pensive music continues]
Hello, sir. Forensics is almost done.
It's this way.
Matsuoka.
Tatsu-san? What are you doing here?
Well, I thought this might have something to do with the fraud case
I'm investigating at the moment, so I decided to stop by.
Definitely a murder?
The body's being sent to a forensic autopsy, but it's strangulation.
- Right here? - We can't make that call.
There doesn't seem to be evidence of a fight.
I was talking to forensics and everything seems too clean.
I mean, the victim seems to have slept here a lot.
He didn't seem the type to clean up after himself often.
The floor, however, is oddly spotless.
Uh, maybe the traces of a fight were erased after?
Not positive yet.
- [phone rings] - Hang on.
Hey, do you mind?
Go ahead.
Hello?
Yes.
[intriguing music plays]
G. AHIRU VISIT
[Tatsu] "G, Ahiru"?
[intriguing music continues]
"G…"
Yes, we can be there. That timing works for us.
Yes. I'll let you know the number of people we're bringing from our side.
Yes, thank you. We'll be in touch. Goodbye.
- Did you touch base? - [Otani] Yes!
- They put me through to President Abiru. - What did he say?
He said that he wants to get together to talk.
He also said there have been inquiries from other companies, as expected,
though it seems we'll be the first company to talk directly.
Great. What day?
We're scheduled for November 8th, at 3 p.m., five days from now.
They couldn't schedule before?
President Abiru said he could meet any day,
but that day was best for the landowner and the other people involved.
The landowner? The female priest landowner?
Yes, um…
The landowner, Kawai Natsumi,
the judicial scrivener, and the financial advisor,
and the real estate consultant who manages the temple's assets will be all be there.
Okay, we'll need to show up with a decent team too.
- Gather a team immediately. - Yes, sir.
How much should we prepare? We can't go empty-handed, I'm assuming.
What about we rework the plan
based on the Oimachi project as close as we can?
- Right away. - Wait.
Did he say anything about a specific price?
Just that he wanted to wait until we directly meet with him.
Typical answer.
- What's your quote? - Uh…
I estimate that ten billion yen or 11 billion yen
will be the baseline for negotiation.
- That seems right. - [Otani] Excuse me.
Uh, Yamauchi, Haraguchi, Takasu, Yashiki and Ninomiya! Conference room.
[all] Yes, sir.
[Aoyagi] Ten billion…
- [Takumi] Hello, everyone. - [Goto] Hi, Takumi-kun.
We got a meeting with Sekiyo coming up on the agenda.
When will that be?
We're scheduled for November 8th, 3 p.m., at Abiru's place.
- I'll put it in the calendar. - Why the look? Aren't you glad?
Nah, it's not that.
We can't say they've fallen into our trap just yet.
And Takumi-san's work is just about to begin.
That said, we've made strides forward.
Oh, thanks very much.
Reiko-san sent a photo. It's the imposter candidate she's been working on.
[Goto] Ha! A cleaning lady?
[Harrison] What do you think?
[Takumi] She doesn't have the same features, but she has the right vibe.
- [Harrison] I think so too. - You both think that? I can't tell.
She looks like a middle-aged poor lady to me.
[phone rings]
[Goto] Oh, it's Reiko-chan.
- Hello, all. - [Takumi] How's it going?
[Goto] Hey, Reiko-chan, we three were just chatting it up about the imposter.
Can you please give us information on her background?
Give me a minute.
I'm completely exhausted from listening to her talk all day.
- [Goto laughs] - [Reiko sighs] That's good.
So…
Taniguchi Yoshie, 51.
A single mother working as a cleaner at hotels and inns in Atami.
She was running a restaurant with her husband, whom she divorced a few years ago
after he had an affair with a friend of hers who was helping with the restaurant.
They eloped. The restaurant went under and she is repaying the debt for it.
She is currently about 12.5 million in debt.
- That's about all I've got. - [Goto laughs]
She is obviously pretty desperate.
Takumi-kun, you were right. Circumstances are similar to the little nun.
There were other women who seem to have bad circumstances,
but I narrowed it down to Taniguchi because she needs money right now.
What do you mean?
Her only son has been in the hospital for a long time
with a congenital heart disease
and she doesn't have enough money for his treatment.
That's perfect.
A mother would become a devil or even a demon for her son.
- It's the same for my family. - So, how much does she need?
Five million yen for now.
Hmm. The going rate is three million, but maybe we could sweeten up the pot.
- How is her memory? - She doesn't seem stupid.
But like you said,
I think she would have the determination to do anything she could for her son.
Takumi-san, what are your thoughts?
I'd have to meet her first to be sure, but my gut feeling is she'd work.
Well, then, it's decided. We don't have time to waste.
We won't bring her along to the meeting we have with Sekiyo next week.
All good. For the forged passport and driver's license,
I think editing this photo would work for us.
- I'll send it to Nagai-kun. - Wait a minute.
It's still in the future, but eventually, there'll be an in-person meeting.
What are we gonna do about her hair? She'll shave it?
That won't be a problem. She has alopecia from years of hardship.
Okay?
[Goto] Seriously?
Well, that's convenient.
I thought that might end up being our biggest obstacle.
- They say a woman's hair is her life. - [Reiko] That's old.
But it is a pretty big obstacle to overcome.
I'm raising my payment fee because this is a lot of effort.
Have you had the chance to convince her to be an imposter yet?
I'll get to it in a few days.
- All right, I'll talk to you guys later. - [Takumi] I'll leave you to it.
- That reminds me. - [Goto] Hmm?
- I'll make up some new business cards. - Oh, that'd be great.
[Takumi] Will you leave the name up to me again?
Yeah, sure.
DEAD BODY OF A MAN IN HIS FIFTIES FOUND POLICE CONCLUDE AS MURDER
[Kuramochi] Huh? Really?
Tatsu-san, you think the land shark in this article has something to do with it?
Not sure.
Though, in the case with Harrison and the others I was working on,
this man was indirectly involved.
[Kuramochi] And you said that "G" is Goto?
If they're targeting new land to make a deal somewhere,
might be possible.
- Okay, what do you think "Ahiru" is? - No clue.
Hmm.
It says "visit."
is it a meeting?
Wait a minute.
Ahiru real estate.
Oh. Ahiru Real Estate in Hiroshima, specializing in detached houses.
Well, that probably doesn't have anything to do with this.
[Kuramochi laughs]
- What is it? - [Kuramochi] Nothing.
I just imagined Golgo 13 walking around looking all tough and carrying a duck.
Come again?
Golgo's alias is G. Ahiru is a domestic duck, right?
The image popped into my head of Golgo with his mad face
and a "Quack! Quack!" [laughs]
Ah, hmm, hmm. Okay, I get it. Okay.
Hey! What about that meeting with Tsujimoto Masami?
In the morning. First thing.
- Ah. - [Kuramochi chuckles]
Then, uh, we can both call it a night. Sound good?
Yep. Good work today, sir.
- Oh. - By the way, what area do you live in?
In Tsurukawa.
Wow, that's definitely far.
- Yeah. - And you own a house?
For a while now.
That's amazing.
Why would that be amazing?
I got it second-hand. It's a good walk from the station.
Yeah, I've got mad respect for you for that.
Because the idea of buying a house
won't even be a speck in the minds of young guys these days. At all.
My ex, he was in the Secondary Riot Police Unit.
We were preparing to get married,
but when I asked him what we were going to do about housing,
he said, "Huh? What about police housing?"
[gasps] That actually came out of his mouth.
And so that's why we're through.
Ah. You broke up.
Um, so, um, does your wife work?
No, she's a housewife.
Ah, mad respect for her too then.
Because it means she's supportive of her detective husband,
devoted to his work, and taking care of the entire family full time.
She doesn't do anything out of the ordinary.
Yes, but she still sounds perfect.
Invite me over sometime soon.
My house? No, I don't think so.
I wanna see your place.
As a future reference for me.
[chuckles]
All right, have a good evening.
Good night.
GRANDPA, GRANDMA THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING
- Want me to make something? - No, thanks.
I'll be heading to bed soon.
[Tatsu's wife] Yuri said that she'll come by next week.
Uh-huh.
Are you feeling any better?
I'm okay. My numbers have calmed down, so it should be all right.
[Tatsu's wife] You're retiring in less than six months. Please don't overdo it.
Good night. I'm going to bed.
Uh, how does going on a trip sound?
- Would you like that? - When?
Once I retire, we'll have some more free time around here,
so I thought maybe we could go with Yuri and your family.
Okinawa or somewhere like that.
Why so sudden?
I'll have retirement allowance. We could splurge a bit more if you want to?
I'll call Yuri and ask her in the morning.
Worst case, it could just be you and me.
I… I didn't mean "worst case", at all.
[chuckling] Okay.
It wouldn't be a worst-case scenario.
[liquid splashes]
Abiru?
[pensive music plays]
ABIRU REAL ESTATE
DIVORCE REGISTRATION WIFE: SAEKO SHIMOMURA
[thudding]
You okay?
Everything all right?
[Tatsu] I'm fine. It's nothing.
[pensive music continues]
[music fades]
Happy memories with my family?
Yes. What is the happiest memory you have?
What memories with your family were your happiest? Can you recall?
The happiest memory…
[cries]
[Masami sobs]
I can't…
I killed my family. [sobs]
I'm sorry. This must be hard.
[Masami continues crying]
Because, it's almost the anniversary of their deaths, right?
Yes.
We're looking for Takumi-san.
Your son might be involved in a certain case we're investigating right now.
And we think he might visit their graves.
Especially on the anniversary of their deaths.
He didn't bury them in the Tsujimoto family grave,
so I thought about where he might have had a grave built for his wife and son.
I thought perhaps
he might have had it built somewhere close.
Near a good memory.
It could be anywhere.
Anything come to mind?
The year before…
before I caused their deaths,
we made a nice memory.
We went on a trip to Izu for summer vacation.
It was spur-of-the-moment and all the hotels were full.
We stayed in a tiny bed and breakfast, which was nice.
Where in Izu?
I think
in Inatori.
Inatori.
That trip had a lot of good memories.
On the last night there,
we decided to do some fireworks on the beach.
Then Toshimi, my grandson, said…
[Toshimi] Grandpa?
[Masami] Yes?
I wanna stay forever!
[tense music plays]
[Masami cries] But… But I…
[continues crying]
It's all my fault.
[continues crying]
- Inatori in Izu? - Yes, I'm going now to investigate.
It seems there are quite a few sites, so I'm not sure I'll find it.
- [Tatsu] Okay. - Any luck for you? Anything pop up?
Uh, I'm in the same boat.
Okay. I'll call you when I find something.
Great.
[Haba] Tatsu-san.
Oh, h-hello.
My wife wanted me to, uh, give this to you.
What? Oh, thank you.
- I wonder what it is? - [Haba] She said it's homemade jam.
Remember, she has a blueberry bush growing in the backyard.
Nice.
- Please thank her for me. - How's your wife doing?
Mine? Well, uh…
We've become a little like roommates.
- [chuckles] Everyone's the same. - [cell phone buzzes]
[Haba] Hello?
Yes.
[intriguing music plays]
[Haba] Yes.
ABIRU HOLDINGS REAL ESTATE BUSINESS
[intriguing music continues]
- [Kuramochi] Excuse me. - Yes?
Is the Tsujimoto family grave around here?
- Tsujimoto-san? - Yes.
[man] This place is too big to remember any specific names.
NATSUMI KAWAI
[Takumi] Hmm, the microchips look good.
Nagai-kun, sorry, but could you blend in the border of her head a little more?
- Uh-huh. - [Takumi] Also, add more shadow?
- [Nagai] Okay. - [Orochi] Hey, boss.
What the hell are you doing?
[Orochi] Takumi-san said to clean the room. [groans] Ow!
Why'd you do that?
Who the hell is your boss?
- Takumi or Harrison? - [Orochi] No, no, it's you! [groans]
Why would you hand me something like that?
We are working on a ten billion yen deal. Do you understand that or not?
Do your job and bring me something better, okay?
[all] Yes, sir.
[Taniguchi] Kenta!
This is mommy's new friend, Reiko-san.
I heard you've been doing your best.
- Here's a reward. - We can't accept that.
Let me do this much.
Thank you very much.
You're welcome, Kenta-kun. [giggles]
[upbeat music plays]
Middle will be Aoyagi, Head of the Development Division.
Will Abiru be sitting in front?
Abiru-san is only the broker.
Sekiyo thinks that the final decision will be made by Kawai-san, so that'll be me.
Are you doing the price negotiations? How much are you starting with?
[upbeat music continues]
[chuckles] You're wild.
Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt.
- You've been sitting here for a while. - Ah.
Other customers would like to use the table as well, so if possible…
Sorry about that. I'm on official business.
Oh. Uh, yes, sir. I apologize.
There's a big business negotiation to sell land.
I would like for you to be there and to pretend to be the landowner.
You want me to do something illegal?
- I'll give you five million yen. - [gasps]
This is to think about it a little bit.
Accept the job and I'll pay you the remaining 4.5.
You don't have enough for the surgery, do you?
[Harrison] Yes.
I understand.
I'll take care of the rest.
[tense music plays]
TAKANAWA COROX PROJECT OVERVIEW
You did it. This one's good.
[Otani exhales] Thank you!
[all] Thank you!
- Thank God. - I'm so glad.
Yashiki. Buy as many beers as you can with that.
Are you sure?
It's a pre-celebration before the battle. Don't drink too much.
- Yes, sir! - Thank you, sir.
- Um, Boss, sorry, may I have a lemon sour? - [Aoyagi] What?
- [laughter] - May I have a shochu and green tea?
- I would love a whiskey on the rocks. - Get what you want. Hurry up and order!
[Yashiki] Okay, what does everybody want? Actually, text me what you want.
[indistinct chatter and laughter]
[suspenseful music plays]
NOVEMBER 8TH, 2:55 P.M.
[waiter] For you.
Oh. It's not mine.
- I didn't order that. - Oh, it's on the house.
It's free service. Thank you for all you do for us.
I wish you the best.
I appreciate that.
[suspenseful music plays]
- [waiter] Welcome. - [Takumi] Two.
[waiter] Any open table in the back.
- Are you good with coffee? - Yeah, sure.
[Takumi] One iced, one hot coffee, please.
[waiter] Coming up.
[Goto] Now is not the time for coffee. Shouldn't we get going?
It's already past three o'clock.
Let's make them wait a while.
We're in control. Let's keep them in suspense a little longer.
[laughs] You're beginning to act like Harrison more every day.
You think that?
[Goto] Yeah. I hear that Reiko-chan is wooing that cleaning lady.
[Takumi] She finally contacted me yesterday.
She says she'll bring her to Tokyo next week.
And Take-chan? What's his story?
I can't get a hold of him at all.
That's not good. That guy's doing too much.
What's Harrison say?
That Takeshita-san's work is almost done, so it's not a problem.
[Goto] Technically, he's not wrong, but…
What about you? What do you think about it?
In this line of work, we each have a role to play.
- Takeshita-san will finish his job. - That's not what I meant. Harrison.
Hmm? What do you mean?
You've heard? About Hayashi's death?
He's dead? When did that happen?
Last week.
I gave him his referral fee for our intro to Abiru,
and the day after that he was dead.
I think Harrison is who murdered him.
Not directly, of course. He hired someone.
That man is insane.
Crazy.
After that job in Ebisu, that old man died in a weird way too.
That was probably Harrison.
Just between you and me,
once this job is over, I think I'm finished.
I don't need more money. I've made enough.
I'd like living quietly with my family. It's all I want.
Takumi-kun,
look out for Harrison.
[cell phone rings]
- Yeah? - [Kuramochi] Tatsu-san!
I found it!
It doesn't have the name Tsujimoto on it,
but I'm pretty sure this is it.
I'll confirm with the temple and call you back.
- Time to go. - Good. That sounds great.
[Goto] Let's go.
- [waiter] Thank you. - [Takumi] Thank you.
[tense music plays]
[Takumi] Sorry to keep you waiting.
[tense music continues]
[cell phone rings]
What? I'm busy right now. I'll call you back.
[Harrison] Long time no see, Shimomura-san.
It's Harrison Yamanaka.
I'm impressed. You've made it this far already.
But it all ends now.
A very important ceremonial meeting is about to begin for us.
I'm sorry, but we can't have you interrupt it.
[phone beeps]
Harrison--
[suspenseful music plays]
[Abiru] It's this way.
Thank you for your patience. Jinnai-sama and Mamiya-sama have arrived.
Hello. Sorry we're so late. Please forgive us, gentlemen.
I'm Aoyagi from Sekiyo House,
Head of the Development Division. Pleased to meet you.
I'm the judicial scrivener for Kawai-san, and I'm also her financial advisor.
My name is Jinnai.
I manage Kawai-sama's assets at Jinnai-sama's request.
My name is Mamiya.
Pleased to meet you.
- Aoyagi. - [Takumi] Thank you.
[speaks Indonesian]
[continues speaking Indonesian]
Well, shall we start?
Um…
Is Kawai-sama on her way, or did she get stuck?
Ah, yes, about that.
Unfortunately she came down with a fever this morning and won't be making it.
That's unfortunate.
Regarding the matters at hand,
Kawai-san has placed all of her trust upon us with this,
so you have nothing to worry about.
Do you think we'll be able to meet her at some point?
[Goto] That will depend on how things go today.
We haven't even started our negotiations yet.
It might happen that we never see each other's faces in our lives ever again.
Forgive me. I was presumptuous.
Well, then, shall we get started?
We've been able to visit the land site.
The location for this plot of land is absolutely incredible.
We've been fortunate to personally visit several times ourselves.
- Yes. - We agree.
We are planning to give this our active consideration.
Everyone here, representatives at Sekiyo House,
would like to share what our intentions are with this land.
We plan to make use of the 3,200 square meter space
by naming it the Takanawa Project
and building a large commercial facility and office building.
It's too soon to show us your plans.
- Don't we have something to decide first? - [Otani] Excuse me?
I'm sure you've already heard from Abiru-sama
that Kawai-sama has already concluded a purchase contract with Abiru Holdings
regarding this land.
[Otani] We have.
I've brought the purchase contract with me today. Please have a look.
REAL ESTATE PURCHASE CONTRACT
[suspenseful music plays]
[Harrison] It's been a while.
[suspenseful music continues]
[speaks Indonesian]
New Nambu M60?
I heard that detectives these days mostly carry a Sakura or a Smith & Wesson gun.
You're a loyal man.
- I'm old-school. - [Harrison] I can see that.
And you've been in the Second Investigation Division your whole career.
Not many chances to use your gun.
I've been chasing white-collar criminals like you my entire career, so, yeah.
In the end,
I would never have imagined that I would be shot with my own gun.
Shot?
Aren't you going to shoot me?
Didn't you bring me here to die?
- Isn't that it? - Wrong.
The police get very nervous when one of their own is killed.
And I would never take a risk like that on purpose.
[suspenseful music continues]
You're going to jump from there.
You're committing suicide, Shimomura-san.
[suspenseful music continues]
[Takumi] Copies of Kawai-sama's identification papers
and registered seal certificate.
Please have a look at them.

Okay,
let's talk about the purchase price for the land.
Please share with us the price of what you're all thinking.
First, I would like to remind everyone
that this is a group of lands that are rarely seen within the Yamanote Line.
Second, it is close to Shinagawa Station and Sengoku Station.
Also, a new Yamanote Line station will be open in two years.
Large-scale development by JR and Tokyu has begun around the stations
in conjunction with this,
and the area is expected…
- Ah, confirmed to be great. - Right.
Ordinarily, such expectations should probably be reflected in the price,
but the seller says to keep it in a reasonable range,
and has left it up to us to decide.
- What's the price? - Fourteen billion yen.
[Otani] Fourteen billion?
[suspenseful music plays]
[indistinct voices on video]
A charming little second-hand house,
bought for 32.7 million yen on loan 25 years ago.
One might call it a small and quaint home, filled with fun.
[indistinct chatter]
[Harrison] It seems your daughter and your grandchildren are visiting.
If you change your mind and don't jump,
I'll make the call to have your family killed right now, and your house burned.
If you take my offer and jump,
no harm will come to your family.
This I promise you.
There's only one way your family gets out of this alive.
You piece of shit, Harrison!
Fourteen billion.
This is the price I deduced after looking at the market value.
We do have buyers at that price,
considering what the land is and it's location.
All the same, Kawai-sama is quite a generous person.
How does 12 billion yen sound?
- [Otani] Please give us a moment. - [Takumi] Of course.
LAND ACQUISITION FEE 10.3 BILLION
[tense music plays]
[Harrison] Please take off your shoes.
They'll prevent your suicide note from blowing away in the wind.
- You're well-prepared. - Yes.
I've even copied your handwriting.
- What did I write? - [Harrison] Just cliché things.
Words of gratitude to your family,
worries about your physical health, your life after retirement.
It's generally pretty accurate.
[scoffs]
Could you tell me one final thing?
[tense music continues]
Um, is there any way
you would consider an offer of 10.8 billion yen?
[Goto scoffs]
After Kawai-san already lowered the price below the going rate,
you're over here trying to haggle us?
Maybe you shouldn't get too greedy.
That's not… I didn't mean to offend anyone.
Didn't you say you've gotten inquiries from not only Mitsui and Tokyu,
but also Nomura and Mori?
Yes. Many.
We're here to sell to a group that can make a quick decision.
[Otani] Give us a moment please.
How did you figure out that I was chasing you?
That I was investigating the company?
And all of my personal information?
I'll keep that to myself. I'm sworn to secrecy.
Sworn to secrecy, my ass.
Your only rule is
dead men tell no tales.
And dead men won't be able to hear anything.
You don't need to hear any more information.
You have an informant on the inside, don't you?
Are you sure you want to know that?
Do you really want that to be your last memory on Earth?
It's Haba, isn't it?
How much?
- Answer. - He was surprisingly reasonable.
Okay.
Time to start the main event.
[metal creaks]
[tense music continues]
Try again.
How's 11.4 billion yen?
11.8. Anything under that would be difficult.
Indeed. It would.
11.8 billion yen.
I'm not sure.
[music fades]
How about this?
Why don't we split the difference at 11.2 billion?
Furthermore, we will pay for the demolition of the building.
So 11.2 billion. Let's strike a deal. How is that?
Thank you very much.
However, there will be a condition.
[dramatic music plays]
[whimpers]
What's the matter?
That's understandable.
You don't have to feel ashamed of that.
It's only natural as a human being.
You will be dying in exchange for saving your family's lives.
Your death will be admirable.
You're a monster. Don't pretend to be human.
[tense music plays]
Then let me help you.
However, there will be a condition.
Kawai-sama is in a rush to sell.
Please submit the real estate purchase application by tomorrow, end of day.
We'll provide the letter of intent for selling on the same day.
And after that is completed,
we'll have the payment and contract signing within two weeks.
- In two… two weeks? - Yes.
That might not be doable.
Because the amount is so high,
it will have to be approved at an internal meeting.
[Goto] We understand that,
but if you dilly-dally, another company might swoop it up.
Kawai-san is in a rush to sell.
We understand that, but we couldn't.
It wouldn't be possible for any company to get an internal approval so quickly.
We accept this condition.
What?
Just pretend you have a blindfold on.
You don't have to do anything. I'll push you.
How should we start?
Three,
two,
one…
go.
Let's go with that.
Don't think you can grab my hand.
Don't think about taking me down with you in your fall.
For your family's sake.
[tense music continues]
Ready?
- [music stops] - Three.
[body thuds]
All right.
Let's settle on 11.2 billion.
However, because a bulk payment at this price is unusual,
some adjustments will be necessary.
We will make efforts to meet your expectations.
Thank you.
Furthermore, we have a condition as well.
As I am the person responsible at Sekiyo House,
I cannot accept giving the go on this contract just with this one meeting.
- What condition do you have for us? - We want to meet Kawai-sama.
We need to meet before we sign.
Additionally, we would like a tour with her.
In her presence, a tour of the property, including her home, the Kouan-ji Temple.
We'll make it happen.
We will discuss with Kawai-sama immediately.
We do have one more further condition.
We'll meet with Kawai-sama
only after you receive internal approval from your company.
Until then.
[somber music plays]
[cell phone rings]
[Kuramochi] Oh, hello?
Hello?
Tatsu-san, can you hear me?
Hello?
Tatsu-san?
Are you there?
