Story
The Emergency Call Unit under Koto Police Precinct’s Emergency Command Centre is a unit that specialises in responding within 10 minutes. Once an emergency call to 110 is received, the time starts counting down. The police have get to the scene within three minutes, grasp the situation within five, and arrest the suspect in the next 10 minutes. This determines whether the victim lives or dies. The head of the Emergency Call Unit, Tachibana Hikari, and leader of the unit’s emergency response team, Shigefuji Yuji, head to the scene of a hostage-taking incident. A man with a bomb strapped around him, raises his voice at a pregnant woman whom he is holding hostage. Listening to the man’s voice, Hikari is immediately able to decipher the man’s traits and works with the members of the unit to determine his identity and motive. She has a special listening ability and can distinguish even the slightest sounds which ordinary people cannot hear. Meanwhile, former detective Higuchi Shogo, who has left the frontline because of his son Daiki, sees a woman being attacked as he makes his way back from visiting his wife’s grave. He rescues her and chases after the criminal. However, the man bolts through a pre-planned escape route and escapes with an accomplice after abducting Daiki. Three days later, Daiki is released but the pain inflicted on the boy enrages Higuchi who decides to return to lead the emergency response team. Hikari and Higuchi resume working together to save victims and catch criminals as quickly as possible. This time, they face a “dark hero” who more than just a villain. The person is a fascinating evil incarnation that seems to represent the melancholy and impotent anger which some of the youth have against society, and give vent to their anguish and pent-up rage.
