I think he was summoned by the kidnapper to where Misaki was confined
in order to frame him.
Now that the culprit is clear, we're making the investigation public
and putting out an alert for the suspect, Itsuki Todo.
I believe someone else kidnapped them in exactly the same way.
That was a faked kidnapping carried out by Todo's wife, Aki Todo!
What about Misaki Akutsu?
That was done by Todo and Haruto Narusawa.
Leave the kidnappings behind you.
If I don't do anything, the kidnapper will get away scot-free.
We haven't found Misaki's computer or tablet from her room, have we?
Tablet?
Do you know where Misaki's tablet is?
The kidnapper may have been after that.
Why the tablet?
It's possible there's something on it that can solve this case.
Todo? Where are you?
Forget about me. Don't give that tablet to anyone.
If anyone comes to get it, they're the kidnapper.
Michiru, escape out the back door.
Zero, eight, two, five.
KOHARU ONE ITEM
Michiru?
Hello?
I have kidnapped Michiru.
What do you want?
Find Mr. Todo. I will trade him for Michiru.
I will call you tomorrow at 10 a.m.
If you don't find Todo by then, I will kill Michiru.
Wait!
Before I do that, let me talk to Michiru.
I will not accept any demands.
If I can't be sure Michiru is all right, I won't do a thing!
I'll determine that.
It's the tablet you want, right?
You want the photo that Koharu gave to Misaki, don't you?
You've been so careful and deliberate until now.
If you've suddenly kidnapped Michiru, then you must be panicking.
You still haven't realized anything, have you?
What?
I'll reveal to you the truth after you hand over Todo.
You should hurry. Look out your back door.
He is only unconscious.
If the police show up now, you will be arrested and taken away.
If you don't leave now, you won't be able to save Michiru.
Katsuragi here. Was the tablet there?
No.
Mr. Katsuragi.
I trust you.
Michiru has been kidnapped. The tablet has probably been taken too.
Mr. Umeki is unconscious at my back door.
If the police show up now, I'll be arrested again.
But I have to find Todo by 10 a.m. tomorrow and hand him over!
Mr. Katsuragi, promise me you'll catch the kidnapper.
I'll risk my life to rescue Michiru.
At times like this, it's the police's job to be risking their lives.
If you find out anything about Michiru, let me know right away.
COMPANY RESTRUCTURING PLAN
DISMISSAL OF PRESIDENT HARUTO NARUSAWA
Detective-Sergeant Goto is on the line.
Yoshino here.
Did you arrange to meet Haruto here?
We only came here to see Haruto because he'd been released.
Yes. That's right.
I was waiting for Michiru to come to the door.
I thought maybe she went out the back door so I went to look when all of a sudden...
Did you see who did it?
No.
Why were you here alone?
Well, you see...
Mr. Kusakabe told me to rush over here.
Mr. Katsuragi, you've been taken off this case.
The order hasn't been officially approved yet.
Where's the tablet?
We haven't found it.
We should assume that Michiru took it with her.
-Excuse me. -Excuse me.
This is the video from the nearby convenience store.
Haruto Narusawa's car can be seen driving toward his home at 6:02 p.m.
Fifteen minutes later, it can be seen driving in the opposite direction.
That damn game freak.
As soon as he's released, he pulls this crap.
Mr. Katsuragi.
You called and told Haruto Narusawa that the tablet was here, didn't you?
Yes. Just to confirm its whereabouts.
The tablet went missing immediately afterwards.
Now we can't contact the Narusawas. They're clearly running from the police.
Tomoka.
What's happened?
Your parents have disappeared.
Let me know if they contact you.
I'll give you my number.
THE KIDNAPPER IS A PART OF THE POLICE FORCE.
Local command to L2.
Haruto Narusawa's vehicle has been found near Ofuna Station.
He's likely fleeing by train.
We've requested nearby precincts to keep a close watch on train stations.
L2, copy that.
We're still trying to locate Todo and the Narusawas.
Get Misaki's call history from the provider again.
But it's already in the investigation records.
Get it again.
Give the info from the provider directly to me.
Is it you, Haruto?
Have the police contacted you?
Yes.
What the heck are you doing?
Michiru's been kidnapped.
The kidnapper will call me tomorrow at 10 a.m.
Unless I find Todo and hand him over, they'll kill Michiru.
You have got to be kidding.
Can I borrow your car?
The police probably think I'm on a train. That's why I need a car.
I'm sorry, Miwa.
You're the only person I can ask.
I'm waiting at the laundromat near your place.
What's wrong?
Call the police and tell them Mr. Narusawa called you.
We owe Haruto for saving Yuzu's life.
But if you keep protecting Mr. Narusawa, you'll be arrested too.
Think of what that will do to Yuzuki.
Oh, what's wrong?
Sorry. Did we wake you?
Daddy.
Go.
When you're helping people in need,
you're so cool.
Then I guess I'll just have to be cool.
See you later.
Wait!
Stay safe and come back.

He's probably forgotten.
The deal was when dinner was ready,
knock five times and the gang gets together.
That was 15 years ago.
He remembers.
A year ago...
he did it when he came to my place.
Koharu sent Misaki a photo?
I think they kidnapped Michiru and took the tablet to get that photo.
But why is the kidnapper demanding Todo?
They want to kill me, hide my body,
and pin the whole thing on me, which would close the case.
This would be perfect for us.
Hand me over to the kidnapper.
Kanako Tatewaki of Harukana contacted us
to notify us that Haruto Narusawa sent a message to Todo.
We believe this means that Todo and Narusawa are planning to meet.
We've lost track of Aoi Miwa!
And Aoi Miwa's with them.
Now we can arrest that cheeky lawyer too.
NEX Holdings has pledged to fully cooperate with the investigation.
They'll provide us with location data for Haruto Narusawa's phone in real time.
I'm counting on all of you to do whatever it takes.
to capture this despicable kidnapper.
Tell them to give us the location data on the phones of all these people.
We'll track the phones
of everyone who's got any connection to Narusawa, Todo, and Miwa.
There's nowhere for Narusawa to go.
KANAGAWA PREFECTURAL POLICE
We'll be provided with the location data for Narusawa's phone
as soon as it's turned on.
Let's catch Narusawa and Todo!
-Yes, sir! -Let's go.
Right.
This is Misaki's call history that I just got.
You think it's someone in the police department?
The tablet was stolen
immediately after the police learned that it was at the Narusawas' home.
The kidnapper has some connection with the police.
It bothers me that Mr. Kusakabe sent Umeki alone to pick up the tablet.
You think it's Kusakabe?
If Narusawa and Todo are apprehended,
this case will be wrapped up just the way Mr. Kusakabe predicted.
And he'll get all the credit.
It'll be like an award guaranteeing promotion the rest of his career.
Katsuragi.
The order has been officially approved by Detective-Sergeant Goto.
You're no longer part of this investigation.
You'll keep these suspicions under wraps again?
The top brass actually suspects you're in cahoots with Haruto Narusawa.
If you continue to be involved, you'll have to resign from the department.
Get out of here and go back to HQ.
We can't afford to lose you.
All right.
It sure makes you feel like crap
when you suspect one of your own.
Hello?
It's Haruto, isn't it?
I'm fine. I've returned to my shop and the police have left too.
Are you all right?
Yes.
Where's Tomoka?
Since the media will be at the house all the time,
I put her in a hotel.
But Tomoka went and saw Misaki
at the hospital this morning before going to school.
She's a strong girl.
I see.
Has this caused you any trouble at the shop?
It's perfectly fine here.
Mom,
I...
I know.
Hold your chin up and do what you think is right.
I've made up my mind to believe you no matter what may happen.

Copy. Heading out.
HINATA INTERNATIONAL TROUT FISHING POND ENTRANCE
We're here.
There is a black trash bag nearby.
Found it.
Bind Todo's hands and feet with the zip ties inside.
Show me using the camera. Tie his hands behind him.
We're done.
Put the trash bag on Todo's head and tie the rope around his neck.
He'll suffocate. Let us open a hole to breathe through.
Make sure he can't see out of it.
I've tied it on.
Knock him out using the stun gun. All you have to do is push the button.
You're supposed to give me Michiru.
After I know that you have left Todo, I will tell you where she is.
Tell me where Michiru is first!
I will determine that.
Forget it. Just do it.
I'm the one who kidnapped Tomoka and Yuzuki.
I am truly sorry for that.
Haruto!
Take his phone and all communication devices with you.
If you've planted a GPS device, I will kill Michiru.
Leave the area. Do not hang up. Keep the line open.
Continue to film the scenery.
Narusawa's on the move again.

9459-2 Serizawa, Chigasaki.
What'll you do with Todo?
I will make him pay for his crimes.
You will soon find out the truth, Mr. Narusawa.
Who the heck are you?
Isehara Seminar House
We've arrived.
SERIZAWA, CHIGASAKI
Is Michiru in here?
Yes.
Miwa, let's split up and look for her.
Okay.
Michiru!
Where's Michiru?
Go down the stairs at the back. She's in the room at the bottom.
"Don't look for me"?
It's the same as I wrote, isn't it?
DON'T LOOK FOR ME.
The kidnapping of Koharu, Todo's daughter, was a fake kidnapping
that she set up herself five years ago.
She did it to get her father to pay attention to his family again.
At that time, Todo was having an affair. Koharu found that out.
How come you know that?
DON'T LOOK FOR ME.
I am Aki Todo.
I am Todo's wife.
Koharu took a photo of my husband having an affair.
She spoke to her best friend, Misaki, about it.
Then they carried out the fake kidnapping together.
I didn't know about it either when the ransom hand-off took place.
It was Koharu's idea to ask about where her field trip was.
Koharu was sure her father would remember how important his family should be.
Hey! Wait!
Hey!
What happened?
But Todo was unable to answer correctly.
Then Koharu called me.
My daughter told me
the truth behind the kidnapping and Todo's affair.
Why won't you say anything?
I left my husband and ran away.
DON'T LOOK FOR ME.
Then,
where is Koharu now?
She is living with me.
But in Todo's desperate search for Koharu,
he kidnapped your daughter, didn't he?
I realized that after reading his tell-all.
I quickly contacted Todo after that.
When he found out the truth, he laughed maniacally and said,
"I'll bring you lots of money,
so let's all live together happily with Koharu."
In his mind, Koharu is still a small child.
He has not accepted reality.
I became afraid of him and cut off contact.
But when I saw the news
that Todo was a wanted man and that you and my sister were arrested,
I couldn't keep quiet any longer.
I did not know that Todo had used my sister.
Why did you kidnap Michiru?
It seems you still haven't figured it out.
Five years ago, the person Todo was having an affair with was...
MICHIRU
Michiru.
Michiru destroyed my family.
Michiru deserves to be punished, so I confined her there.
But when I saw that she was pregnant, I couldn't keep quiet about it,
so I told her about everything, untied her,
and told her you were about to arrive.
I left it up to her to decide what to do.
But it seems that Michiru has run off.
I know how she feels.
Nothing is worse than when your family falls apart.
I will punish Todo myself.
Goodbye.
Forward unit one here. No read on target activity.
Mobile unit one here.
All units taking up station at designated locations.
Forward units also taking up positions.
I'll have your husband be a witness.
He'll believe everything he just heard, and his statement will
pin the blame for everything on you two.
This investigation is over.
Where is Koharu?
Where the hell is Koharu?
Where's Koharu? Where?
It's over for you!
Hey... Don't...
Hey! Spare Michiru!
Hey! Don't!
L2 to all officers,
storm the place!
Please, not Michiru.
Please spare Michiru! Come on!
Hey!
Haruto...
It's all right now, Michiru.
What are you doing here?
Only Miwa went to Chigasaki.
He had my phone that I was talking to you on,
as well as Todo's phone,
which he used as a video phone.
DON'T LOOK FOR ME.
"Don't look for me"?
It's the same as I wrote, isn't it?
I watched the video he was sending
but talked to you from this building.
You didn't even notice.
All three of you! I'll kill all three of you!
There's nowhere for you to run anymore.
He appears to be alone!
I'll untie you.
Michiru, everything's all right now.
-It's all over. -Good.
It's all over. Okay?
Throw down your weapon!
As of 11:21 a.m.,
Eitaro Yoshino, I'm arresting you for kidnapping and illegal confinement.
Suspect arrested. Send an ambulance.
We're taking him into the station. Requesting a vehicle for transport.
L2, copy.
Take him away.
Yes, sir.
When did you figure out
that it was me?
Something seemed fishy to me the day before yesterday.
We haven't found Misaki's computer or tablet from her room, have we?
Tablet?
At that time, you only reacted to the tablet.
For two minutes, the screen goes black.
You took the laptop from Misaki's room,
but you didn't realize there was a tablet.
Officer Umeki.
Apparently, Tomoka has Misaki Akutsu's tablet.
-Go to the Narusawas' and get it. -Yes, sir.
When you found out that it was at the Narusawas' home,
you followed Umeki.
Okay.
Michiru, escape out the back door.
Then,
you knocked out Umeki...
and took the tablet.
Mr. Narusawa called me and told me Michiru had been kidnapped.
That's when I knew things must be kept secret.
However, I made arrangements with Mr. Kusakabe yesterday.
All right.
If we found out that you were the kidnapper before the call at 10 a.m.,
we would secretly set up Team B to rescue the hostage
and apprehend you.
This is Misaki's call history that I just got.
I got Misaki's call history myself and checked it.
CHIEF YOSHINO
I saw that Misaki called you the day before the kidnapping.
That's when I knew you were the kidnapper.
You altered the call history in the investigation document, didn't you?
Did you use NEX to find out I was here?
Tell them to give us the location data on the phones of all these people.
We snuck your number onto the list of numbers we requested data for.
Ordinarily, that's illegal,
but it was an emergency step we took to save the hostage.
They could have accomplices.
As long as we've got his location, let him be.
All units, stay back. Keep him surrounded and tailed.
PHONE NO.: 090-827-435 NAME: EITARO YOSHINO
Who the heck are you?
I told Mr. Narusawa about my plan.
MICHIRU COULD BE THERE.
He was more worried than anyone else about Michiru.
I'M HEADED THERE TOO.
L2 here. Vehicle transportation is ready.
Where's Koharu? Hey! Where the hell is Koharu?
-Todo! -Where the hell is Koharu?
-Give me back Koharu! -Go!
Hey!
-Just keep going. -Yes, sir.
Hey!
Todo!
We'll put a priority on finding out where Koharu is!
L2 to L1. Suspect apprehended. Suspect is Eitaro Yoshino.
Don't try to hide this. The police must announce this immediately!
Many people have been harmed because the police didn't properly investigate
Koharu Todo's kidnapping in order to save face.
We must accept the seriousness of what's happened.
Guess I won't get a commendation for this.
In fact, it'll probably work against me.
Today, Harukana held an emergency meeting of the board of directors
and spoke with all our employees.
Breaking news. The kidnapper that shook the nation...
Haruto Narusawa has been...
Kanagawa Prefectural Police Investigations Chief Eitaro Yoshino
was arrested in Isehara...
Excuse me.
There's just been a news flash that the real kidnapper was arrested.
NEX's live news is broadcasting it.
...Michiru Narusawa was rescued by her husband, Haruto.
Haruto was arrested in connection with the kidnapping of Misaki Akutsu.
This could prove President Narusawa's innocence.
After his release, he disappeared, and suspicion...
Well, due to this sudden news,
I cannot make any definitive statements until examining all the information.
If this is true, it is very welcome news.
We would greatly appreciate your continued patronage
of the games Narusawa has developed, Ribbit Walker and Dungeon Table.
-We look forward to serving you. -We look forward to serving you.
It's unclear whether the arrest of Yoshino will clear Haruto of all suspicion.
We'll continue to report on this as information comes in.
Misaki?
What is it?
I think her hand moved a little just now.
YOU GOT AN ITEM! MAGICAL CLOVER
Yoshino was a boss who cared for his subordinates.
When his subordinates couldn't go home, he'd even watch after their families.
While doing that,
he helped Aki since she was having trouble raising her daughter,
but they ended up in that relationship.
Koharu noticed that and got a photo of them.
Apparently, it was Koharu who suggested the kidnapping.
Don't ever see my mom again.
All right. I'll never see her again.
I have one more request.
Kidnap me.
At this rate, my mom and dad will get divorced.
But if I'm kidnapped, they'll worry about me together
and might start getting along again.
I even made up a plan.
I'll never tell anyone that you're the kidnapper.
Kidnapping is a crime, you know?
If I did that, then I'd--
I will determine that.
All right.
Can I have a look at this?
Give that back!
Yoshino carried out the kidnapping.
He says that he put a media gag order so the kidnapping would be forgotten.
The idea to ask about where she went for her field trip was...
WHERE DID I GO FOR THE FIRST-GRADE FIELD TRIP?
...written in Koharu's kidnap plan.
Aki kept changing her alibi because she was with Yoshino when it happened.
Yoshino convinced Aki not to reveal what really happened.
Come on! Tell me what you're hiding!
Aki never knew that Yoshino was the kidnapper
and blamed herself for her daughter's kidnapping.
So she disappeared.
DON'T LOOK FOR ME.
Just before she disappeared, Yoshino was contacted by Aki.
She said, "I'm going to be with Koharu."
Yoshino could relax because he was convinced Aki would kill herself.
The kidnapping would then remain unsolved.
But with the kidnapping of Tomoka, the investigation was reopened.
When he saw the tell-all book, he realized Todo had copied him,
so he ordered him to commit another kidnapping.
Yuzuki...
By making Todo continue kidnapping, he was sure he'd eventually be arrested.
That way, Todo would be blamed for everything.
However, there was an unexpected coincidence.
I'm sorry this guy did that creepy thing.
Misaki Akutsu realized who Yoshino was.
Misaki, don't tell anyone, okay?
She realized he was the man in the photo that Koharu had given to her.
After turning it over in her mind, Misaki called him
and spoke directly to Yoshino.
When Koharu saw this,
she got worried that her mom was having an affair.
I didn't know you worked for the police.
Is it possible you weren't actually having an affair,
but that Koharu's family was involved in some terrible crime?
Is that why Koharu suddenly moved away without telling anyone?
Please, tell me.
I'm simply
worried about Koharu.
I'm afraid this pertains to an ongoing investigation, so...
Then Yoshino kidnapped Misaki.
He did it to get the photo file.
He says that he was going to pin the kidnapping
on you and Todo, and release Misaki.
But because Misaki had become so worried about her mother,
the unexpected happened.
Yoshino couldn't see her on the surveillance camera,
so he went to where she was and found that she had fallen.
Tell my mother...
UNKNOWN CALLER
Where should I go today?
The deal is off.
What do you mean?
The police have taken action.
If Mr. Akutsu hasn't called the police,
then he's still keeping his promise.
I will determine that.
The deal is off and I will kill Misaki.
Wait! Okay.
The deal with Mr. Akutsu is off.
But...
the deal between you and me is still good.
I'll give you all the money I've got.
Like you promised, give me the hostages for the money.
Okay. I will make an exchange for all the money you have now.
However, I will only return one of them, either Koharu or Misaki.
It would be less risky for him to hide Misaki's body somewhere
and let her go missing.
But
after seeing Misaki, he couldn't make himself do it.
That's when he asked Todo that question.
Misaki is
okay, right?
Yes.
And Koharu is
also alive, right?
Yes.
For the money,
give me back Misaki.
Why do all that for this photo?
It's ridiculous.
According to Yoshino's statement,
he was afraid of his family finding out.
Family is nothing to be
afraid of.
THE BABY'S COMING!!!
-Dad! -Where's Michiru?
She's in the delivery room.
Oh, excuse me.
Yes?
I'm Michiru Narusawa's husband.
Oh, the father. This way.
Bye.
It'll be fine. Calm down.
Okay, breathe in.
Get ready to push. Ready, push!
Over here, Mr. Narusawa.
-Good! Keep it up! -You're doing good! Keep it up!
-Michiru, hang in there. -Very good!
-Mr. Narusawa, hold her hand. -Right.
Okay, do it one more time.
Breathe in! A big deep breath! Ready, push!
-Hang in there! -Nice! Good!
-Keep it up! -Hang in there!
Nice! Very good! Very good!
Michiru said she's about to give birth.
We still don't know
where Koharu is.
But...
I'm sure it'll be fine.
It'll be fine.
You've heard about Aki and Yoshino, haven't you?
You take good care of
Satsuki.
I've been kicked out of that family, you know?
But I want to make things right.
Whether we do is up to Satsuki, though.
I just need to
make amends for harming my family
and work for Satsuki and Yuzu's happiness from the sidelines.
She contacted my law firm.
She's agreed to assist with the police investigation.
She was working in Hiroshima.
She felt she couldn't leave the world
until she had seen Koharu again.
Keep it up!
Hang in there!
Nice. Very good. Very good, Michiru.
-Hang in there. -Okay, one more time.
-You can do it! -Good!
-Hang in there! -I can see the baby's head.
They can see the head.
Koharu...
-Nice. Keep pushing. -Hang in there!
-Keep it up! -The baby's trying hard too!
You can do it!
Aki...
Did you see her?
-There! The baby's out! -It's born! It's born!
It's a healthy baby boy.
Nice job.
Thanks.
Nice job.
You did well.
Congratulations. Please, hold him.
Hold him too, Mr. Narusawa.
You did really well.
Yes, you did.
You did really well.
You did your best? You did?
Yes, you sure did.
What's this?
A mixer. I said we'd do one when the case was over, right?
Whoa, wait.
Sit down.
Who is it today? Traffic police? Or are they from PR?
-Oh, good evening. -Good evening.
Good evening.
-Good evening. -Good evening.
Good evening.
It's the Harukana people.
Since we caused them so much trouble, I thought we should apologize.
What?
This is supposed to be that kind of thing?
No!
Get them chairs!
Sorry. Have a seat.
-Good evening. Nice to meet you. -Good evening. Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
-It's nice to meet you. -It's nice to meet you.
Sorry about the other day.
It's all right.
Mr. Kusakabe, get us a menu.
Welcome home.
I'm back.
Okay, here you are.
Whoa! What?
It's Ribbit.
-How is it? Pretty good, aren't they? -What? They're a pair, right?
Ta-da! Ribbit.
-Hey! That's a bunch of garbage. -No, it's not.
It's seriously ridiculous.
I wanna go to the same middle school that Tomoka goes to.
