01x05 - Interrogation/Date

[bunniefuu]

Mutsumi] And then, guess what?

Even though they'd

just had the hugest fight,

apparently they started dating

the very next day!

[chuckles] Are you kidding me?

Ever since then, it's been called

the Matchmaking Ferris Wheel,

and they say that if a couple

watches a sunset together from it,

-they'll be happy together!

-[Taiyo] Uh?

[Mutsumi] On our next day off,

I'd love to spend the day with you

and ride that Ferris wheel!

I mean, if you want

Hello? Taiyo?

Are you still there?

-Sorry, Mutsumi. I'm hanging up for now.

-[Mutsumi] What?

You're Taiyo Asano Am I right?

[Taiyo] Uh, yes.

I'm Hotokeyama of the Koizumi Precinct.

POLICE OFFICER

SEIJI HOTOKEYAMA

Would you mind coming with me?

[opening theme playing]

MISSION: YOZAKURA FAMILY

KOIZUMI POLICE STATION

-[keyboard clacking]

-[Hotokeyama] Why don't we

cut right to the chase, then?

PLAN 5

INTERROGATION/DATE

This was posted on the dark web.

This is you, right?

[Taiyo] Whoa, it's all over the Internet!

But they told me that they covered up

all of the Yozakura family's activities!

Also

possession and use of a firearm,

trespassing onto private property

taking part in an early-morning car chase

on a public street.

Ah And you blew up your school, too?

I mean, are you trying

to become the god of juvenile crime?

[Taiyo] Things I didn't do

are mixed up in there!

[Hotokeyama] But you know

what's strange about this?

There's nothing whatsoever

on your co-conspirators.

Even though these are all crimes

that are clearly beyond kid territory.

There's got to be more to this. Like

for reasons unknown, you belong

to some secret organization maybe?

If you have a good reason, you'll

get off easy on extenuating circumstances.

If you know something,

you'd better start talking.

[Taiyo] He's telling me

to sell everyone out?

I don't know anything!

Well, hey, don't jump to conclusions.

Have some water,

and give it a good, long think.

[Taiyo] What? He just blatantly

poured something in there, right?

-Truth serum!

-[Hotokeyama] Hmm?

No, see, these are minerals

that are good for you

[Taiyo] What a half-assed lie!

-[muffled grunt]

-Just drink it like a good boy.

[coughing]

WATER CATCHER THROAT BALLOON

FOR MAGIC TRICKS AND DRINKING GAMES

I told you I don't know anything!

Is that right?

[grunts, pants]

[Taiyo gasps]

[Hotokeyama] That's a drug dealer who's

ruined the lives of thousands of people.

Making full use

of his cash and connections,

he'd been evading the law all this time

But I brought him to justice.

It's not my job as a lawman

to protect those who break the law.

[Taiyo grunts] Is this guy really a cop?

If you won't give it up, I'll have to ask

your friends at school in person.

[Taiyo] Damn this guy

I get it now!

I don't know anything,

but even if I did

I wouldn't give it up to a lunatic

like you if my life depended on it!

[Hotokeyama] I like that look

in your eyes.

How many blows until they glaze over?

Can't wait to find out.

Oh my. Any further

and my suit would've been a mess!

Aww The jig is up, huh?

[Kyoichiro] It is indeed.

"Ask your friends," when you're

digging for those friends' info?

Who does that?

You're as hopeless a liar as ever, Seiji.

Shut the hell up.

That was my way of giving him a hint.

Um An explanation, please?

[Kyoichiro] He was a classmate

of mine in junior high.

His name is Seiji Hotokeyama.

Get your hands off me.

You'll give me a rash.

In exchange for helping him

with his police investigations,

we have him cover up

the Yozakura family's activities.

Jeez. You're still

the same old piece of work.

First you ambush me.

Then you tell me that you're adding

your new kid brother to the mission.

-Isn't more manpower a good thing?

-I guess.

[Kyoichiro] And how did he do?

Let's see.

You didn't sell out your allies,

and you didn't fall for my taunts.

[chuckles dryly] You pass.

Looking forward to working with you.

R-Right.

Was that a smile?

Great! This is great!

Feel free to run him ragged!

Right. While you're here, I have

a big job for you in return for my help

Whoops, time for my next mission.

I'll be heading out now!

[Hotokeyama] H-Hey!

And you run along to school!

Can I give you a lift?

[Taiyo] No. I'll be fine.

[groans]

Taiyo, are you all right?

Yeah I'm fine.

What happened?

Uh, yeah Just a

[Kyoichiro] All right,

everyone, have a seat!

[boy] Huh? That's Vice-Principal Hirukawa.

[girl] What's he doing here?

Mr. Akutayama is taking the day off

to tend to some urgent business.

I'll be taking over

your Modern Japanese class today!

For real?

Wow!

What's the matter, Asano?

You don't look so good.

[chalk tapping]

[Taiyo] No good.

My eyelids are heavier

than dumbbells.

Maybe I'll take a really short nap.

[exhales]

[Kyoichiro] A spy must learn to control

even his own sleeping patterns.

[Taiyo] Is that Morse code?

[Kyoichiro] By putting one half

of their brains to sleep,

dolphins and migratory birds are able

to remain in a constant awakened state.

This skill can be attained

by humans as well,

so long as they train hard enough.

Fact: I myself graduated

from total sleep at 15.

That means you graduated

from being a human!

[Kyoichiro] I'll be using my threads

to analyze your heart rate,

and if I detect that you're sleeping

Your wake-up call will be

a piece of chalk at the speed of sound.

Right, that will k*ll me!

Can't believe he's training me

in the middle of class.

[Mutsumi] He's right!

You need to back off, Big Bro!

You just want to torment Taiyo, don't you?

[Taiyo] Mutsumi! We can talk like this?

[Mutsumi] Oh, yes. I've been

in a spy family for 17 years, after all.

[Kyoichiro] Really, Mutsumi!

Starting a conversation with me

in code during class!

You love your big bro too much!

You're so adorable,

I want to gobble you up!

Just kidding!

He's so ecstatic, it broke his brain!

[Mutsumi] You're beyond creepy.

Also, you're overworking Taiyo!

[Kyoichiro] You're just as cute

when you're angry, Mutsumi!

[Taiyo] Mutsumi? Thanks.

I'll be all right.

Just watch. I'm going to

ace this low-level training no problem!

[Kyoichiro] Hah! Wonder how many seconds

that bravado will last?

[Taiyo] Drowsiness? Fight it off!

You stop it right now, Big Bro!

[Mutsumi] Everyone's asleep!

I see you have your gas mask

on you at all times.

Good for you, Mutsumi!

[Mutsumi] I never dreamed

that I'd be using it against you, Big Bro!

[Kyoichiro] Nanao's special sleeping gas.

One whiff, and you're off to dreamland!

[Mutsumi gasps] Taiyo!

No, Taiyo! Wake up!

Impressive that he at least

kept himself from slumping over.

But it's over now!

[Mutsumi] Thank goodness

you were awake?

[gasps] He moved in his sleep!

[Kyoichiro chuckles]

Looks like he's reached

the half-awake state!

Just stop, will you? Are you trying

to turn Taiyo into a monster?

I'm doing this all for you

and for this guy.

Let's see you strive

to reach ever greater heights!

Taiyo Asano!

[Kyoichiro] Not bad for

your first awakening!

I'm going to shift into a higher gear!

[grunting]

[Mutsumi] Ugh. Taiyo's getting

less and less human

Apparently, that half-awake state

was a fluke,

and it hasn't happened again since, but

[screams]

[Mutsumi] He's sleepwalking

all over the place again.

[chuckles uneasily]

it's left Taiyo with an odd habit.

[twittering]

YOUR TARGET IS HER HEAR

[Taiyo] "Strategies for Dating,

Spy-style."

SPY

"A spy's job is intense."

"Are you so consumed by work that you're

just phoning it in with your partner?"

"Fact: In 90% of spy marriages

that end in divorce,

the cause is said to be

missed connections due to overwork."

[groans]

[Mutsumi] Here you go, Taiyo.

Have some tea!

[Taiyo sighs]

-Hey, Mutsumi

-Hmm?

If you're free today

[cell phone vibrates]

UNKNOWN NUMBER

SLIDE TO ANSWER

My bad.

Oh, sure.

Yes, hello?

[Hotokeyama] It's me. Mission time.

Mr. Hotokeyama?

[Hotokeyama] That's right.

I need you to get moving right away.

Oh, uh

[Hotokeyama] I've texted you the location.

I'll be in touch.

Huh? Hey, wait.

Is something wrong?

Sorry. It's an urgent mission.

I'll be going now!

Okay.

See you later!

TASHIMAEN

[kid 1] Wow!

[kid 2] I want a balloon!

[Hotokeyama] You're there now?

Yes. Uh, isn't this

[Hotokeyama] A male and female

with illicit g*ns

are lurking within that amusement park.

Smoke them out and apprehend them.

A couple? What do they look like?

[Hotokeyama] I'm looking into that.

Whatever you do, keep your eye on

anyone suspicious-looking.

Anyone suspicious-looking?

Mommy, is that man all alone?

[Taiyo] That would be me!

Ugh

[girl] Now, now, cheer up, will you?

Thanks.

Wait Mutsumi?

Oops, I came.

Oops, you came? How'd you find me?

-[Mutsumi] I asked Mr. Hotokeyama.

-Huh?

It would look more natural for you

to be in a place like this with me, right?

But it could be dangerous!

Hey, keep your voice down!

The couple in question

might be somewhere nearby.

If you ask me

I'd say that those couples

over there seem suspicious.

[Taiyo] T-True.

And at the very least,

I can defend myself.

And since you're here,

I should be fine, right?

[Taiyo] Well, it's not like

Mutsumi's the target.

Hey, this flavor's delicious!

Come on, Taiyo! You try it, too! Here.

[Mutsumi] Well?

It's good.

Right?

[Taiyo] Hold up.

This could be my chance

to show Mutsumi a good time, right?

[man] Oooh!

I love your outfit today, Mocchi!

Not that you don't look cute

no matter what you wear!

Oh, stop, Ken-Ken!

Love you!

-You're so sweet!

-[Taiyo] That's it!

-Mutsumi!

-Hmm?

[Taiyo] That outfit, it's great!

I I bet it's easy

to unleash high kicks in that!

What? Oh, yes.

It's easy to move around in.

You're just humoring me!

[Mutsumi] Looks like one couple's

heading towards the roller coaster.

ELECTRIC SHOCK

Roller Coaster

Let's go after them!

R-Right.

[bell ringing]

I'm so scared, Ken-Ken!

You'll be fine, Mocchi!

[people screaming]

[shouts] Ken-Ken!

[laughs] Mocchi!

[laughs hysterically]

[screaming, laughing]

Now, that wasn't scary at all,

was it, Mocchi?

[Mocchi] Nope! It was fun!

[Taiyo] S-Sorry, Mutsumi.

After all that hard-core training,

that felt like light swaying,

and I got really comfortable.

Hey, it's all right! Don't worry about it!

Anyway, Taiyo

[man] Sorry. The thing is,

I can't take those scream machines.

It's fine. Don't worry about it.

Here, drink this.

[both] Oh

[woman] S-Sorry!

[man] N-No, I'm sorry.

[Mutsumi] Looks like

they're just on a normal date.

Yeah. They just look scary, I guess.

That couple's next, right?

[Taiyo] Two more couples left.

We'll unmask them for sure!

Come on now, Mocchi!

Ohh! So fast!

H-How do you like it, Mutsumi?

[Mutsumi chuckles] I'm having so much fun!

Even though I can't see a thing!

Oops, sorry!

[man laughing]

There's no centrifugal force

that can keep us apart!

You're awesome!

[Taiyo] Good for you!

Wasn't that a blast?

Yeah! The best!

[both laughing]

[Taiyo] I did it again.

That couple seems

to be all lovey-dovey, too.

What's wrong? Are you dizzy?

No, I'm fine.

Hey! Taiyo!

Huh?

One last couple.

Let's go after them.

Here, Mocchi! A present for you.

Wow! I'm so thrilled! Thanks!

Where'd that couple go?

Let's search the other shops.

Okay.

ROSES

MAKE A GREAT GIFT!

[Mutsumi] They just seem to be having tea

like any other couple.

Looks like.

All right,

I'm going to go get us some drinks.

Okay.

[man] There's something

I'd like to show you.

[woman] What would that be?

[man] It's a special-order item, you see.

[Taiyo] A special-order item?

Don't tell me

[suspenseful music playing]

[man] A custom-made ring.

Would you be so kind as to marry me?

Understood.

[Taiyo gasps, thuds]

[sighs in exasperation]

I've been dragging Mutsumi around all day,

and I can't find the couple with the g*n.

What the heck am I doing?

I want to do something that'll make

Mutsumi happy, even if it's just once.

[Mocchi] What the hell is your problem?

Staring at that woman all this time!

Huh? I wasn't looking at anyone!

Who are you to talk,

making eyes at that guy!

[Mocchi] That's a load of crap, you idiot!

[Ken-Ken] What did you say, ugly face?

[Taiyo] But they were so close

that it was obnoxious.

Damn, I've had enough of you.

Right back at ya, b*stard!

Any blemish on my life

gets rubbed out instantly!

[Taiyo] Engraved! It's a custom-made g*n!

I was a moron

for being with someone like you!

[Taiyo] Run!

[crowd panicking]

What? Hey! Taiyo!

[laughing maniacally]

Damn.

Cover your ears tight!

[Taiyo] Hey!

[both] What?

Take a hike, outsider!

[both screaming]

Take your lovers' spat somewhere else!

METROPOLITAN POLICE

[Mocchi] No way!

I didn't get to watch

the sunset with Ken-Ken yet!

[Mocchi] Ken-Ken! Ken-Ken!

Come on, give me a break!

It's just a little longer, you know!

[Ken-Ken] Tightwad!

Mocchi!

[Taiyo sighs]

For crying out loud. Can't tell

if those two are on good terms or bad.

[Taiyo chuckles]

Anyway, good job today.

I owe you one.

[chuckles] So that was a smile after all.

[Kyoichiro] H-H-He sent him

to an amusement park with Mutsumi?

[Kyoichiro screams]

-Mutsumi!

-[Shion] Hmm?

[Kyoichiro] Unforgivable!

-I'm hungry.

-[Kyoichiro] Unforgivable! Taiyo Asano!

[pleasant music playing]

Well, talk about a rough day, huh?

I-I guess so!

At least we got to

buy souvenirs for everyone

and take in all the attractions

after that went down!

Come to think of it, why did you

want to ride the Ferris wheel last?

Huh? Oh, uh

Because, see

couples who see the sunset

from this Ferris wheel get to

they get to live happily ever after.

S-So that's what this is about, huh?

[Taiyo] Listen, Mutsumi.

Here.

[gasps]

[Taiyo] It got like this in that shootout,

but the flower itself isn't too messed up,

and it would be a shame to toss it.

Today, I wanted to show you a good time

for once to thank you for all that you do.

But in the end,

I couldn't do anything for you.

Mutsumi?

Huh? Oh, uh

I never thought you were the type

to do this kind of thing, Taiyo,

so I was a little surprised

[Mutsumi clears throat]

I'm so happy. Thanks!

[Taiyo] No, thank you for everything.
