Odd Taxi Season 1 Episode 5 [ENG DUB]
S01 E05 - Don't Call Me an Idol
Yamamoto hails Odokawa's taxi, taking Mitsuya and Ichimura separately to a studio in Sasazuka. Mitsuya likes fried chicken, while Ichimura likes bath bombs. As Odokawa then takes Yamamoto to his agency office in Kamimeguro, Odokawa lets slip that he dropped off another girl near the agency office two weeks ago. Outside the agency office, Odokawa refuses to sell his dashcam data to Yamamoto. Meanwhile, Tanaka trails Odokawa in another taxi to his house, unbeknownst to Odokawa. Later at night, Goriki tells Odokawa that he is planning to temporarily close his clinic in fear of being blamed for the missing medications even if Shirakawa is the culprit. Afterwards, Dobu confirms that Shirakawa was paying off her debt by selling him the stolen medications. Odokawa returns the favor by mentioning that Yamamoto wanted to buy the dashcam data. Kakihana goes out on a date with Ichimura at a fancy restaurant. While scrolling through her cellphone, Ichimura discovers a photo of Imai supposedly winning ¥1,000,000,000 from the lottery, as well as a viral video of Kabasawa swearing to hunt down Dobu. As Kakihana pays for the meal in cash, his dropped receipt reveals a loan totaling ¥100,000.

00:13暗虚に堕ちていくようだ
00:18何が見える? 何が響いてる?

00:49Surely リズムしたレジュメじゃ解けない
00:53そのリズムが鳴りそうになれる
00:56街に縁取られた自分を知って
01:00掻き違えた記憶
01:06また似合わない目線の先へ
01:15辿り着ける
01:23何が見える?

02:13何が起きてる?
02:15何が起きてる?
02:18Hey, over here!
02:23All right, driver. The studio in Sasazuka. Drive safely, but quickly.
02:31Yamamoto, where's my fried chicken?
02:33Here.
02:34Yay! Thank you for grabbing that.
02:36Now, don't eat too much. If you gain five kilos, you're fired.
02:40I know.
02:43You like fried chicken?
02:44Mm-hmm. I am from Oita, after all.
02:47And is that related somehow? By that rationale, does that mean everyone from Hokkaido likes soup curry?
02:52I just have an attachment to it. It's my soul food.
02:58Uh, what's soul food?
03:00Uh, I don't know, really. It's just a feeling.
03:04It's like local cuisine, or the taste of your mother's cooking, right?
03:07Yeah. The fried chicken my mom used to make was so good.
03:14Is Nikaido coming today?
03:16She's showing up late.
03:17She gets so much special treatment. So lucky. I wish I got the same pampering.
03:21You bet it, Mitsuya. You promised your mom you would follow your dreams, remember?
03:26Yeah, I know, but...
03:27Hey, a fried chicken place!
03:36Head inside. Start practicing on your own.
03:39For real?
03:40Don't you whine. You're the newest member, Mitsuya. You need to work harder than the others.
03:45Fine.
03:47Give me just a sec, driver. Ichimura, where are you?
03:52A public bath in Ogikubo?
03:54Uh, Ogikubo, please.
03:56What are you doing there? I told you to be at the studio at seven.
04:01Find somewhere easy to pick you up.
04:07Sounds like a tough time.
04:09Handling girls requires careful planning.
04:12Didn't think we'd be going around and picking them up separately.
04:15It's like this all the time. You gotta finesse everything.
04:19Thought it'd be best to keep them separated.
04:28At the baths again, huh?
04:32Hey, driver. Back to the studio.
04:35Here's that bath bomb you mentioned before.
04:41What's wrong, driver? Let's get going.
04:44I feel like I've seen her around before somewhere.
04:47Like where?
04:48I'm not sure. Maybe on TV.
04:51If you recognize her face, it must have been a concert before she debuted.
04:55She hides her face behind a mask.
04:57Huh. Is she an idol or something? That can't be it, though. I've never been to a concert.
05:03Forget what happened today, driver. She'll become a public figure someday.
05:08I consider myself something like an authentic bartender.
05:11That means you're listening to everything.
05:19Are you tired?
05:22Is Nikaido coming?
05:24A bit later, yeah.
05:26I try, but I don't know if I can keep up with her ambition.
05:29Just keep working at your own pace.
05:32She's so incredible. Honestly, I bet she would kill someone just to get ahead. Maybe she already has.
05:38What are you saying?
05:40I don't know. Maybe I'm not suited for this. It's so rough.
05:45Come on, not this again.
05:48I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing here.
05:50I'm not nearly as alluring as Nikaido, and I'm not an amazing dancer like Mitsuya.
05:55You've got strengths of your own, Ichimura.
05:58Like what?
05:59Oh, uh...
06:01Well, you know, you've got that whole charming and innocent thing going for you. And a cute face, too.
06:08I wear a mask because I'm not cute, though.
06:10That's not true. It's the agency's strategy, nothing more.
06:13Explaining with old dudes is exhausting, too.
06:16Hey.
06:22Mitsuya's already inside.
06:24I still don't like her. I liked things better before.
06:27Ichimura, there's a time and a place for everything. Be careful what you say.
06:34Okay, driver. To the office in Kamimeguro.
06:37For real? I'm totally stoked. I've been waiting for years for someone to say that to me.
06:42Follow that car.
06:44Sweet.
06:47Let me tell you, it's very hard work, driver.
06:50But it's all worth it since I'm ultimately trying to show them the view from the top.
06:55Oh...
06:57I've got a chance.
06:58You think so?
06:59That girl I mentioned, Rui Nikaito, is a pure carbon gemstone.
07:04You know, I've heard of Rui Nikaito. Some passenger brought her up once.
07:09I don't mean a diamond in the rough. A fantastic gemstone.
07:13Yeah? Then why not promote her alone?
07:16That's not how things work. They need promotion as a group.
07:20And besides, while I feel bad for the other girls, a carbon gemstone needs others to help it shine even brighter.
07:26Basically, I'm designing the setting for a carbon gemstone. I get carbon gemstones noticed.
07:32They can't do that without assistance.
07:34Just say diamond and be done with it.
07:38Got a business card, right? May I have one?
07:41Ideally, I'd like to use the same person to drive them around. You seem tight-lipped, too.
07:46I'm not always available, so don't get your hopes up.
07:51Oh, also, you should help us advertise. Maybe keep our flyers in your taxi.
07:59People want those?
08:00Curiosity can be very powerful.
08:03Does your office in Kamimeguro happen to be the place with the bar on the first floor?
08:08Yeah, that's the one. You know it?
08:10I was just remembering that I drove a girl there this one time.
08:14What? That was...
08:17About two weeks ago, I think.
08:19I presume she's on your agency's talent roster.
08:24Uh, maybe it was one of the girls you drove today.
08:28The only group we manage is Mystery Kiss.
08:30I don't know, maybe.
08:32Girls in that age range, especially the ones trying to be idols?
08:36Honestly, they all kind of look the same to me.
08:40You said you recognized the second girl. That was Shiho Ichimura. Must have been her.
08:45She's a calico cat. This other girl was different.
08:57This is it. Right place, yeah?
08:59And you're sure?
09:00About what?
09:01Where you dropped off that girl. It was this office.
09:05Yep.
09:11That's 11,940 yen.
09:14Hey driver, listen.
09:15Hmm?
09:17Does this car happen to have a recording device?
09:23What do you mean?
09:24You know, like taxi videos? You see them on TV sometimes.
09:30I do. Any chance I could get your data?
09:33I thought maybe we could use some of the footage of the girls riding around in a cab for our next video.
09:38You can see their faces.
09:40We'll edit around that.
09:42I'll pay, of course.
09:44You can have the data of just the two girls.
09:47No. I want it all.
09:51I can't make that decision by myself. If I can settle the privacy issues of the other riders, then maybe.
09:58Fine then.
10:03I'll be in touch with you about it. I appreciate your assistance. See you again soon.
10:08No worries. I'm not that interested, but I'll see what I can sort out.
10:34Thank you for riding today, sir.
10:38You're welcome.
10:54Sorry I had to ask you to come in.
10:56You're into some weird shit, Doc.
10:59So how have you been? Sleeping well?
11:02Thanks to you, I haven't been, no.
11:05You haven't refilled my medication prescription. What's with the late-night consultation?
11:10You know, you could always go to another clinic. They'd give you the same medication.
11:14If I were a hairdresser, maybe I'd think,
11:16I can't believe after styling this guy's hair for so long, the asshole had the nerve to try another salon.
11:21And he left me like it was nothing.
11:23But I don't run a salon. I run a clinic.
11:26The payoff wasn't worth the long joke.
11:31Listen, I'm closing the clinic for a while.
11:34Why's that?
11:35My medications aren't adding up.
11:38You think they were stolen?
11:40I do. Apparently, it's been happening for a long time.
11:44You call the cops?
11:45I didn't. It would seem like it's an inside job.
11:48If word about all this gets out, I'll go from victim to perpetrator.
11:53The reason I'm going to close the clinic is so I can pretend it didn't happen.
11:57You're doing it as a way to protect yourself.
12:00It's embarrassing to admit, but yes.
12:04So you're not doing it to protect Shirakawa.
12:07I don't recall saying I suspect Shirakawa.
12:10She's had a long string of money problems.
12:13Circumstantial. That's not enough to accuse her.
12:18I remembered something.
12:19A little while back, when I was driving around after dropping off a hippo guy,
12:23I saw Dobu and Shirakawa together in an alley at night.
12:27Dobu knew about Shirakawa. It all makes sense.
12:32You sure it was them?
12:33I only saw Shirakawa from behind.
12:35You don't know it was her, then? Plus, it was at night.
12:38There are plenty of people who look like her from behind.
12:42I could tell it was her.
12:48You know, I think you've changed a bit.
12:52Like you've warmed up a bit recently.
12:56I'm gonna go now.
12:58Where to?
13:02Strangely enough, two people asked to meet me today.
13:05One was you.
13:18Hey.
13:22Couldn't you have picked a better place for us to meet?
13:25Why? What's wrong with this one?
13:28I take it you've figured out who wants your dash cam data?
13:31It's possible. But first, I've got a question for you.
13:34Go ahead. That's the only one I'm answering, though.
13:37No matter what, you always try to dominate the situation, don't you?
13:40Of course I do. That's how a negotiation works.
13:43Yeah, but in this situation, I'm the one helping you.
13:46I thought you and I had an agreement.
13:48Hold up. That speed camera always been there?
13:50Well, there goes your one question.
13:52You're the type who'd waste his wishes if he found a magic lamp.
13:55I wasn't asking you. I was just thinking out loud.
13:58I'm sure the genie would understand.
14:00Whatever. Go ahead. Ask me your question.
14:03I think you and Shirakawa are connected somehow.
14:06Am I right?
14:09If you don't answer honestly, I'm not telling you.
14:12You specifically used Shirakawa's safety and well-being as a means to threaten me.
14:17If the two of you are associated in any way, then the premise of that threat doesn't hold water.
14:22Fine. Yeah, you're right.
14:24And it was your idea to have Shirakawa approach me, wasn't it?
14:28I don't know about that. If she did, she did that on her own.
14:31She's been stealing prescription medications from Goureki Clinic.
14:35You've been selling them illegally for her and then splitting the money somehow.
14:39Am I right?
14:40That's too many questions. Including the speed camera one? That's your fourth.
14:43Answer me.
14:45That's more or less accurate.
14:47By criminal standards, I'd say you're the only one who'd do that.
14:51By criminal standards, I'd say that's cheap work. No wonder Yano looks down on you.
14:55I fronted Shirakawa's debt, and she's paying me back. That's all there is to it.
14:59We're not tied beyond that, and it isn't a job.
15:02I answered your questions. Now it's your turn.
15:05Now that I know that, there's no reason for me to keep my promise, is there?
15:09Work with me. I'm surrounded by enemies. I'm desperate.
15:12I messed up time and time again.
15:14I even lost something important that the boss gave me.
15:17And recently, a video of some amateur claiming he's gonna catch me has gotten 10 million views.
15:22It's not the best time for me.
15:24Really? So you're famous now?
15:26If I don't get the name of the guy who wanted your dash cam data, I'm gonna have to murder you.
15:31That's not just a threat. I'll do it without a second thought.
15:34I've already thought of the way that'll cause the most terror.
15:37I'd bind your arms and legs and throw you into an empty bathtub.
15:41Then I'd slowly start to fill it up with ice-cold water. Sound good?
15:47Thankfully, I have a knack for figuring out exactly what makes you afraid.
15:53It's the manager of Mystery Kiss.
15:55And what the hell is a Mystery Kiss?
15:58Check out their flyers back there.
16:02It's that asshole Yano. He's got his paws into this shit too?
16:06So, what exactly did this manager say?
16:09He asked to buy the data to use it in a PV.
16:13Does that mean one of these three girls is the boss's classmate's daughter?
16:17You might see what happens if you sell him the data with the parts he wants edited out of the footage.
16:22Find out how much money he's willing to pay for it.
16:25I'm not getting involved in any of your affairs.
16:27Do what you want with the information. It's none of my business.
16:30Stay away from me.
16:32Hey, don't tell me you're getting that upset.
16:36About Shirakawa?
16:43Do you come to places like this often, Kaki?
16:46Well, now, let me think about it. I mean, I guess I might come here maybe once a month?
16:51Oh yeah? Well, it's my first time.
16:53Is that so?
16:59Excuse me, I'd like another glass, please.
17:02I'm sorry, but I don't have any money.
17:04I'm sorry, but I don't have any money.
17:06I'm sorry, but I don't have any money.
17:08I'm sorry, but I don't have any money.
17:10I'd like another glass, please.
17:12Seriously, don't laugh.
17:16Tell me, Shiho. Of all the things you do, what makes you the happiest?
17:21Probably taking a bath.
17:23You don't say. You like bath time, huh?
17:28I grew up poor, and I had a lot of brothers and one sister.
17:32The only place I could get some privacy was when I was alone in the bathtub.
17:36Ah, poor, huh?
17:38I used to go to Santa for a few bath bombs for Christmas.
17:40You know, those things that you drop in that fizz up the water?
17:43Oh yeah, those. That's kind of cute, actually.
17:47I bet the bathtub at your place is amazing.
17:49Can you stretch your legs out?
17:51Huh? Of course. Plenty of room. Air jets, too.
17:54Really? Can you watch TV from it, too?
17:57Yeah, a big screen.
17:59I'd love to try it.
18:01Huh? You mean like bathing it? I think it's a little too soon for that.
18:04Listen, how's this? Why don't we go to Yufuin sometime, huh?
18:08Sounds great! So where's Yufuin?
18:10Not far. In Oita Prefecture.
18:13And would we go there in your private jet or something, cocky?
18:16I'm not exactly that rich.
18:19Aw, shucks.
18:23I mean, I'm still pretty profitable. Now, you're a college student, right, Shiho?
18:27Yeah, that's right.
18:29You're so young. Tell me, do you want to get married?
18:36Thank you for waiting.
18:37Oh, it's fine, thank you.
18:39You don't need to hold your glass.
18:41Uh, that changes from place to place.
18:47Enjoy.
18:49Sorry, what were we talking about?
18:51Uh, I was asking if getting married was something you really wanted.
18:56Yeah, it's always been my dream to get married to someone.
18:59I think the sooner I can do so, the better I'll feel.
19:02Being surprised with an engagement ring would be an amazing fairytale moment.
19:10Well, in that case, would you maybe-
19:12Hey, look at this!
19:16It says he won one billion yen. You think it's true?
19:19Oh, wow. A billion yen, huh?
19:22If it is, then good for him. Not even I have that much money on hand.
19:26He's a Rui Nakaito fan.
19:28Hmm?
19:29It's nothing. Do you know about this? Everyone's talking about it right now.
19:36Hey, I'd like to announce I, Taichi Kabasawa, will capture Dobu. And I'll do it by end of year!
19:43This all started ten days ago when I posted a photo Dobu happened to be in.
19:47I started getting calls from the media. It kind of went viral, so I'm sure some of you know about that.
19:52But I don't know. Some of you might be wondering if it's okay for me to use such a sensational title.
19:57But to me, it reflects my own justice.
20:00For those of you who don't know who Dobu is, I'm not sure if he's a thug or a Yakuza member or what.
20:05But I do know the police are after him.
20:07And, according to recent intel I've acquired, I know the police haven't tracked him down yet.
20:12Now, he could have some big shots bagging him or something, but I don't know for sure.
20:16This Dobu guy is bad news. At this juncture, what kind of bad news is uncertain, but it could be anything.
20:21Theft, robbery, fraud, assault, extortion, sex crimes, putting rocks on railway tracks, arson, kidnapping, or murder.
20:27Anyway, his crimes are too numerous to list. Though, rocks on tracks stands out for me.
20:32As a matter of fact, I know people who know-
20:34All done with your plate, sir?
20:35Oh, yeah, thanks.
20:36I heard about him from a friend of a friend. At this point, I take it entirely possible that you've even met one of his victims.
20:43He's likely guilty of masterminding crimes he doesn't commit by himself.
20:46I'm sure some people have had their bike seats stolen, right?
20:49Again, I, Taiji Kabasawa, will catch Dobu.
20:54Is something the matter?
20:55Could I get the check, please?
20:57Please wait at your table.
20:59That changes from place to place.
21:03Is that kind of grind life really worth living?
21:05While taking a look back on my life, I recall the dream I had as a little kid, to be a hero and help people.
21:11I'm sure many of you wanted the same.
21:13So I'll catch him.
21:14I'm gonna put off finding a job and all my schoolwork to do it.
21:17And what will I do once I catch him?
21:19I'll sit him down and make him apologize.
21:21I'll upload a video of him on his knees.
21:23I'll rehabilitate him.
21:25If the law can't punish him, then I will.
21:27No, wait.
21:28Not just me, all of us will. Even you watching.
21:30I, Taiji Kabasawa of Mesa University, will work with you to catch him.
21:34I won't run or hide.
21:36I'll stand in the line of fire.
21:37I'm accepting any information.
21:39Thanks in advance.
21:40This man is evil.
21:41And we shall defeat evil.
21:42Justice will prevail in the end.
21:45This video has received a storm of praise and it's been viewed 10 million times.
21:49People are saying, he's so cool, I'm behind you 100%, Kabasawa.
21:53Crazy, right?
21:55Here's your check, sir.
21:57Thanks.
22:01Is something wrong?
22:02Oh, I'm just shocked.
22:04I thought it'd be way more.
22:05Give me a minute.
22:10You carry that much cash around?
22:11Uh, yeah.
22:12I mean, since I look at digital numbers all day long,
22:15I prefer to use cash when I'm interacting with actual people.
22:18You don't carry a wallet?
22:20I had a Bottega Veneta, but I gave it away to an underling.
22:39I'm sorry.
22:40I'm sorry.
22:41I'm sorry.
22:42I'm sorry.
22:43I'm sorry.
22:44I'm sorry.
22:45I'm sorry.
22:46I'm sorry.
22:47I'm sorry.
22:48I'm sorry.
22:49I'm sorry.
22:50I'm sorry.
22:51I'm sorry.
