## History

As a child, Daisuke seemingly led a happy life, living with his mother, Sayuri Kambe, and father, Shigemaru Kambe. Both of his parents were physicists at the Third Laboratory, and Shigemaru was known for his work in advocating for energy using imaginary numbers.The family enjoyed a luxurious lifestyle and lived in a grand mansion.

Some time during his childhood, Daisuke overheard his parents arguing over Shigemaru's research of adollium. This dispute eventually escalated to the point where Sayuri left the Kambe family home and instead opted to live alone. Shigemaru was outraged over his wife's actions, however he still wanted to reconcile with her. Kikuko Kambe, Daisuke's grandmother and Shigemaru's mother, decided that Sayuri's knowledge on adollium was too much of a threat and ordered Jiro Hattori, the family butler, to silence her. That same stormy night, Shigemaru went to visit Sayuri in her apartment and witnessed the aftermath of her murder by Jiro, horrified at the sight. A hiding Daisuke saw his father standing over his mother's body and mistakenly assumed he was her killer.

After the death of Sayuri, Shigemaru presumably committed suicide. Daisuke confronted Kikuko and she confirmed that both his mother and father were no longer alive. A dismayed Daisuke tried to deny the fact, and ran away while calling Kikuko's words lies. As Daisuke grew up, he worked towards figuring out the truth behind his parents' deaths and looked to join the MCPTF as a means to gather more information.

## Synopsis

### **Episode 1**

Daisuke makes his first appearance playing the piano and narrating. He says that he had a mother, father, and believes he had a happy childhood, leading up a certain day where everything changed. His life after that became uninteresting and hollow. The scenery changes and a women puts a glass of champagne on his seat armrest. The lighting changes so darkness completely shadows his face as he opens the window of the private jet he's in, overlooking Japan. His plane lands, and a red carpet is rolled out for him, from the jet to a black car. He exits, introducing himself as Kambe Daisuke.

Daisuke makes his next appearance driving the black car, and there is a brief moment where he and Haru Kato pass each other on the road.

He's sitting in the superintendent's office, turning down the offer to join the First or Second Investigation Division in favor of his requested division. When the superintendent offers him a cigarette, he declines, opening up a leather pouch to reveal his own tobacco cigars. When the superintendent picks up the phone and eagerly asks about the bombs whereabouts, Daisuke forms a small frown.

At the Classic Car Festival, a black sleek car begins to knock other cars out of the way. Haru spots a mother and her son in the path of the rampaging car and quickly goes to shield them. However just before the car could hit, it suddenly swerved to the left and crashed into a street pole. Haru quickly opens the door to the car when a cloud of smoke hits him in the face. Daisuke gets out of the car, pulling out his police badge, and introduces himself as the newly appointed inspector of the Metropolitan Police Detective Division.

Ignoring Haru's questions, Daisuke goes to look over the cars in the festival. Smacking his hand on a navy blue AC Cobra, he leans down to check under it, observing that it was already tuned up. He then informs the driver to get out, as the car would be purchased by the Metropolitan Police. When the man laughs and insults him, Daisuke forcefully throws him out of the car. When the man asks for his translator to call the police, Daisuke puts on his glasses, and says in Arabic that he was looking at the police right now. HEUSC pulls up a check for 1 billion yen that Daisuke signs virtually. He tells the prince to keep the change, and revs up the engine to the car. Daisuke drives off, leaving smoke in his wake. He continues to ignore Haru, who was running alongside the car and jumps in just as Daisuke sped up.

Daisuke swerves between lanes, dodging cars to catch up to the perp. He tells HEUSC to get rid of the cop cars and lead the perps towards the Kachidoki Bridge. Once again, Daisuke ignores Haru's questions, until he asks how he's going to take responsibility for his scheme. Daisuke contacts HEUSC through his earring, telling them to identify all individuals, vehicles, and buildings involved and send double the damage costs as reimbursements. Haru asks who he's talking to, and Daisuke responds that he's speaking to his butler. He notes that there are only 10 minutes until noon.

Robbers Yoko and Hiroshi begin to back up the van when the bridge starts to lift up, however they hear a thud and look back to see Daisuke, using the AC Cobra to drive the van towards the end of the bridge. He reveals his plan to Haru, saying that he was going to toss the van into the river. He directs the van towards the side of the bridge when Haru sees Yoko, panicing in the car, unable to escape. However Daisuke continues to smirk and drive the two cars towards the river. He loses the smirk when Haru jumps out of the car and takes control of the steering wheel.

After the explosion, Daisuke parks the AC Cobra so the front wheels hang over the end of the bridge. Getting out of the car, he puts one hand in his pant pocket, staring at Haru, who was holding on to end of the bridge. Daisuke smirks once more as Haru's grip falters and Haru takes a plunge into the river below.

The next day, Daisuke opens the door to the Modern Crime Prevention Task Force Room, to Haru's surprise. The chief, Yukihiro Kiyomizu, enthusiastically introduces him to the rest of the task force, saying he was of the famous Kambe family and went through special training in England.

Haru later confronts Daisuke at the helicopter pad on the roof. Daisuke puts down his cigar and turns to Haru, asking how much he wanted him to pay.

### **Episode 2**

Daisuke opens the door to the MCPTF room to be greeted by Yukihiro assigning him his new desk and a scowl from Haru. Daisuke takes a seat, and is approached by Mahoro Saeki, who asks him if he’d like a Gummy Fish. He holds out his hand, and she pours one in. Mahoro peers excitedly at the gummy in his palm, and says that it’s a lucky start of the day, as he puts the gummy up to the light and begins to examine it. Daisuke, chewing the gummy, and Mahoro watch, mildly interested in the commotion Shinnosuke Kamei and Haru were making.

Haru heads out to attend the Stop Shoplifting Campaign but turns around, annoyed that Daisuke had tagged along behind him. Daisuke, unfazed, still asks Haru to take him to the scene.

That night the two leave the campaign, Daisuke carrying two bags, when Haru stops to watch two amateurish comedians on the street. Haru tells him to go on ahead, since he recognizes the desperation to survive in the comedians. Daisuke instead throws a 10,000 yen bill (~$93 USD) into their hat and they immediately stop performing to go out for some drinks. Haru tells Daisuke that by giving them money he just got rid of their willingness to work, but Daisuke ignores him to confront the two comedians about their use of the drug, mescaline.

The next day, Daisuke is interrogating the comedian, Yamada Keiichi. He uses his technologically advanced glasses to debunk all of the interrogee’s lies, scanning his credit card information, heartbeat, and whereabouts at the time of the drug deal. He crosses his arms together and leans back into his chair, offering to buy the information off of Yamada, who begins to aggressively defend his partner.

Daisuke exits Interrogation Room A, and Haru begins to brief him on the case when Daisuke interrupts, much to Haru’s surprise. Behind him, Yamada excitedly exclaims that the money had already been transferred to his account.

That night, the two are waiting in Haru’s car when Akira Mita, a journalist and Haru’s informer,  joins them. He explains to Daisuke that he started to dedicate his life to helping Haru. While waiting for the suspect, Yuta Isezaki, to exit a building, Daisuke tries instant ramen for the first time (Haru silently judges him). The trio start to follow Isezaki as he spends the nights with various models from the company, Millennium Entertainment. One evening, another car pulls up by Isezaki’s car and they are finally able to photograph evidence of Isezaki’s drug deals. But when Haru goes to arrest them, Daisuke stops him, saying that there’s another man behind Isezaki. Daisuke does not respond when Haru asks how he knows this.

In a stakeout montage, Daisuke is seen treating Akira to Kambe branded deluxe instant ramen. Haru later mentions to Akira that Daisuke had stopped showing up to the stakeouts, since he was probably getting bored of playing “detective games.”

When Haru finds himself at the front doorstep of a lavish restaurant, Daisuke drives up behind him. Haru asks him what he’s doing here, and Daisuke returns the question, but he let’s Haru follow him into the building and even tells a butler to prepare meals for them. They enter an elevator heading for the bottom floor, and Haru tells Daisuke about his speculations on the case, however Daisuke only shows mild interest when he brings up a black-haired woman he suspects is a liaison for the Gondawara-gumi crime organization. The same woman Haru was talking about, was actually repairing an armored vehicle in the ultramodern room they had just entered. The woman goes to greet them, introducing herself as Suzue Kambe. Daisuke gives Haru a second to connect the dots that he had actually followed Suzue to his mansion home.

Suzue briefs Haru and Daisuke on her investigation. The leader of the Gondawara-gumi group, Mikio Umezu, will be hosting a drug party, and Daisuke tells Haru that he plans to use about 2 billion yen to arrest Umezu and take down the whole crime organization. Haru gets fed up with how Daisuke relies on his wealth, and declares that they should go their separate ways for the case. Daisuke looks unimpressed as he storms off.

Suzue ponders for a moment, then excitedly waves Daisuke over to show off her handiworks, to which Daisuke smirks at.

Haru and Akira are trapped on the roof of The Tower where the drug party is taking place. Their pursuers had just made it through the barred doors and cornered them when an attack helicopter takes away their attention. Suzue, the pilot of the helicopter, positions the vehicle so it’s side faces The Tower, and Daisuke opens up the helicopter window, missile launcher is hand.

HEUSC informs him of his purchase of The Tower, and Daisuke fires. Projectiles shoot through the roof of The Tower and start to release a poison gas which knocks everyone out, including Haru, Gondawara-gumi subordinates, and models from Millennium Entertainment.

The next day, Daisuke enters the MCPTF room and clears his time tables from the day before when Haru approaches him. He’s taken to a stairwell, where Haru once again tells Daisuke that his actions are inappropriate for a cop. In return, Daisuke asks why Haru decided to become a cop, and he responds that he did it to catch criminals, and not just by throwing money at his problems. This is when Daisuke brings up Haru’s past as a member of the First Division. During a siege, Haru had accidently fired at the target and seriously injured them. Ever since, he’s been unable to fire a gun and was moved to the task force. Haru grabs him by the collar, but eventually lets him go when his anger fizzles out. Daisuke peers back at Haru’s disappearing figure as he fixes his suit.

Daisuke is enjoying a glass of champagne when Haru suddenly finds himself boarded on Daisuke’s private jet, heading for Hong Kong.

### **Episode 3**

Back from their trip to Hong Kong, Haru, Daisuke, and Suzue are seated in a traditional Japanese house, when Daiskuke’s grandmother, Kikuko Kambe, introduces herself.

While making tea for Haru, Kikuko asks Daisuke how work is. Impassive, he responds that there has been nothing noteworthy. When Haru sheepishly admits that the differing financial viewpoints between coworkers often creates chaos on the scene, Daisuke glares at him before his grandmother begins to reprimand him. He scowls once more when Haru eagerly accepts Kikuko’s request to coach Daisuke well. By Kikuko’s order, he gives Haru a forced thanks. Driving back in Daisuke’s car, Haru informs him that tomorrow he’ll be on a business trip to Nagoya. Teasing him, Haru reminds him not to cause any trouble for other coworkers. Daisuke accelerates the car in response.

After Haru is sent away from the stand-off in the shinkansen by members of Division I, Daisuke surprises him by showing up in the Shinagawa station, there to pick him up and assist in arresting the perp.

Sitting in his parked car, Daisuke shows no intention of driving until informing Haru that this is exactly the time he would appreciate some coaching. Suddenly accelerating the car, Daisuke instructs HEUSC to pick up the dialogue being relayed between Division I earpieces. Listening in, they learn that one of the women collapsed on the ground and is assumed to have been shot. Division I suspects mental derangement is also involved, and the order to position the SAT (Special Assault Team) is given. Haru, seeing the SAT already making their move towards the train, yells at Daisuke to stop the car. After hearing Haru proclaim that the perp isn’t one to kill people, Daisuke opens a compartment under Haru’s seat that holds a briefcase with grapnel equipment inside.

Outside, Daisuke launches his grappling hook and lands on top of a building effortlessly, leaving Haru behind. He frowns when Haru is unceremoniously hurled upwards by his own grapple.

Hiding behind a wall in the railway, Haru states that the moment they go towards the train, they will be the ones arrested. Daisuke tells him to change his watch to channel three, and their earpieces connect to the Investigation Headquarters’ line. Chief Katushiro’s voice rings out the order to ready the sniper to kill.

By Haru’s request, he is connected to the line and demands to know why Katsuhiro isn’t preparing for negotiations. Katsuhiro replies that the perp is obviously enjoying the stand-off, and is in no mental position to be negotiated with. Unsatisfied, Haru argues that the boy he met on the train was not like that. Ryo Hoshino cuts in, reminding Haru that he had no right to be an officer and informing him that perp is streaming the hostage situation on Chaintube as they speak. Daisuke, who was also listening in, tells HEUSC to pull up the footage, and a projection of the livestream is casted out of his watch. While Haru asks himself, “what should we do,” Daisuke asks back, “what do you want to do?”. Thinking about this, Haru declares that he just doesn’t want the perp to die.

Daisuke gets up and uses his watch to access the missiles stored in the car’s trunk, and cautions Haru that the smoke screen would only last for 8 minutes and 30 seconds. He quickly contacts HEUSC to reimburse all damages, double the cost just before the missiles launch. The two rush past the SAT guarding the train, and jump onto the front of the shinkansen. Using a laser cutter, Daisuke cuts a hole in the glass panel in order for them to get to the locked side of the car the perp is inside.

Because of the smoke screen, the SAT sniper no longer has visual contact. When Division I members spot Haru through the window of the door, Chief Katsuhiro gives him the order to shoot the perp. Daisuke pulls out his pistol and offers it to a hesitant Haru.

Haru instead asks HEUSC to access the perp’s emails. While reading through an email about an emergency surgery, Chief Katsuhiro contacts Haru again, telling him to just do what needs to be done. He grabs the pistol and tells Daisuke to open the door.

Breaking the lock off the door, Haru enters the compartment car to try to begin negotiations with the perp. Meanwhile, the old women held hostage suddenly rally together to no longer let the stand-off delay their trip to the Yokorenbo Starlights farewell concert. As they swarm Haru and the perp, Daisuke silently uses HEUSC to buy a private Yokoights concert. The boy band appears outside the shinkansen, and the old women flock over to the windows to watch. The woman who was collapsed on the ground also jumps back up, but carelessly knocks Ryo’s pistol out of his hands. The gun lands right by the perp’s feet, but as he goes to grab it, Haru shakily points his gun towards him. However, Haru yields while Daisuke boldly walks up to the perp, now armed with a real loaded gun. The perp’s hands begin to shake when Daisuke arrests him for flagrant detention and bodily injury. He promises the perp that he’ll make sure his sister is safely sent to America for her surgery. Although not believing him at first, the perp gradually lowers the gun. Haru stares, stunned, as Daisuke calmly picks up and unloads the gun from the perp’s hands.

Later, Ryo thanks Daisuke for his help, but he coldly walks past him. HEUSC notifies him that the deletion of all media regarding the situation has been completed. Looking out the windows briefly, Daisuke sees the perp being escorted by Division I members.

Back in Daisuke’s car, Haru asks how he knew the perp wouldn’t shoot him. Daisuke responds with Haru’s own words: “He’s not the type to kill people.” Haru is momentarily astonished by this, until Daisuke abruptly accelerates his car once again.
