Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a Suspense-Mystery film: "advanced notice criminal"
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
The movie begins with a man wearing a newspaper mask on his head
He explains that whatever he's doing,
he isn't doing it for himself, and claims that he'll change the world
The Metropolitan cybercrime division takes notice of this specific man,
who goes by the name 'Paperboy'
His 3rd video talks about setting fire to 'Meals Ajishan',
a company responsible for mass food poisoning the month before
Despite the number of people who had gotten sick because of their products,
the company didn't experience any repercussions
While in a discussion about possibly tracking the IP address of Paperboy,
someone announces that there's news about the fire that happened at 'Meals Ajishan'
The group walks closer to listen
While watching the show, someone notices Paperboy standing in the crowd with his thumbs up
Realizing the seriousness of the situation,
the team decides to watch the first 2 videos Paperboy released
In his 1st video, he targeted the first victim, a part-time cook at a restaurant
The man liked putting fried roaches on their customer's dishes
We see the first victim bound on a chair,
with Paperboy cooking him a meal out of deep-fried roaches
While streaming live, he forces the other man to eat the roaches
His second victim posted a tweet, blaming an abuse victim for what happened to her
Upset with his words, Paperboy decides to give him a taste of what the girl went through
The police track down the second victim, and he recounts what Paperboy does to him
While streaming again, he molests the second
The man discloses that not only did the police not help him;
but they also teased him for what happened
The second victim confesses that the harassment continues,
and points out that he didn't deserve any of it
the lead detective, called Ms Detective,
leans closer and reminds him that he followed someone without asking where they were going
He must be asking for it, which is the same comment he posted about the abuse victim
The group gets a lead on the location of where the recent video was uploaded
They end up in a Pitboy cyber-cafe in Kanagawa
They find the computer, and confirm that it was used
However, according to the cyber-cafe staff, nobody rented the computer that night
They speculate that the computer was either hacked,
or a script was used to make sure that the video was uploaded that day
but the cybercafe staff explained that it's impossible,
since computers are formatted after every use,
and they have OTP tools to ensure the security of their network
Naively, the cyber-cafe staff acknowledges that
only a handful of them could've uploaded the video through their network
This gives the police enough reason to take him back to the station
Just outside, a man who we can only presume to be Paperboy,
watches as the police arrest the cyber-cafe staff
He whispers that they were faster than he thought they were gonna be, before walking away
Paperboy's blog's getting popular,
since everybody sees him as a vigilante, determined to keep the public safe
His third victim is an employee of Tokyo Web
The reason he's a target is that he publicly ridiculed a potential candidate for his company
Paperboy argues that nobody should humiliate someone for working on improving their situation;
and because of this, he deems the third victim deserving of his special brand of punishment
The police move twice to save the third victim
However, Paperboy already has him in his clutches;
and the minute it strikes 12 midnight, he begins the stream
On camera, he starts beating the third victim up with a metal baseball bat
The police finally figure out that the Pitboy cyber-cafes are a red herring,
and the feed is actually coming from an apartment in Kamata
Unfortunately, when the police arrive, it's another false trail
They eventually find the place in an empty room in a rented apartment
The third victim is beaten but alive
The metal baseball bat turns out to be plastic
After comparing the second and third victims' tormentors against each other,
the police realize that they're two different perpetrators,
which could mean that there are more of them
We find out a little about the background of one of the Paperboys, named Okuda
During work, his co-workers find out that he's close to being permanent in their company
His boss overhears this,
and decides that this is the perfect time to criticize him in front of everyone,
as well as dump a big project on him before he clocks out
While working overtime, Okuda accidentally falls asleep, and is caught by his boss
He gets demoted, and ends up doing janitorial work at the office
While on break, he accidentally stumbles upon posts from his senior co-workers,
all of them insulting him
Okuda leaves his job
He has a hard time finding a new one, since he doesn't have a degree
He ends up doing manual labor work for cheap, at an illegal garbage dumpsite
After their work that night, Okuda hangs out with his fellow laborers
They talk about how they ended up with the job they're currently on
We meet Nobita, who is working for the first time ever;
Kansai, who wants to be a musician; Metabo, who's big-bellied;
and Hyoro, who came from the Philippines and is looking for his father
Hyoro then shows them an OTP tool he had gotten, while working as a janitor at a cyber-cafe
Another video's released; but this time no prediction,
but rather 'Paperboy' delivering a speech about keeping one's dignity
He admits that he can't solve everyone's problems
He ends the recording by promising to kill for the audience,
and encourages everyone not to suffer in silence any longer
Another prediction is made; but someone other than the usual 'Paperboy' does it
He announces that someone will be killed in Shinagawa station
It turns out to be a copycat crime, that is running rampant due to his influence
The government sends someone from the House of Justice, named Mr Justice,
to speak on the situation of 'Paperboy'
He announces that giving people the chance to be anonymous,
encourages everyone to act with misdeed, and comments that poor people use it for evil purposes,
hinting that they believe the crimes are being committed by "lesser" citizens
He proposes that moving forward everyone
should be required to provide an ID whenever they create an account,
which would discourage anonymous messages,
and create an environment where anyone can feel "at ease"
For his 5th video, Paperboy announces that he will be targeting Mr Justice,
since he is a threat to the internet, as the public is entitled to use the network freely
This threat is taken seriously, since the target is an important member of the parliament
The police go all out on safety measures
With the help of the Public Safety division,
the police determine the identity of 'Nelsin-Kato-Ricarte', who turns out to be Hyoro
Wanting to keep up appearances, Mr Justice attends an event for a newly released energy drink
As everybody starts opening up their bottle, some of them start exploding,
after the drink interacts with a couple of mints that are released after turning the cap
The police are immediately pinged of Paperboy's location, as he does another broadcast
What plays is a video of a small group of people,
working to fake the results of the poll that Mr Justice had proposed,
which had ended with a ton of votes in his favor
It seems they didn't mean to literally kill him, but rather his political career
The police catch up on Paperboy at the Pitboy cyber-cafe he's using
A chase ensues
While running after who they think is Paperboy,
Ms Detective recognizes Okuda, and runs after him instead
He eventually loses her at the canal river, but it's a close call
The Paperboy they arrest is the Pitboy cyber-cafe manager of the Roppongi branch
We find out that he had informed Okuda that
all Pitboy cyber-cafe have been alerted to keep an eye out for him
Back at the precinct, the detective partner,
who's mostly the brains behind the Metropolitan cybercrime division,
informs Ms Detective that
he doesn't think the Pitboy cyber-cafe manager knows much about the operation
He explains that he probably sympathizes with Paperboy's,
and shares that he had lost his job after ending up in a hospital,
despite working twice as long as the others to be hired permanently
A similar story to Okuda's
Nobita calls the police to leave a tip about Paperboy, revealing that he works with them
He explains that people think they want to punish bad people online
Before he can say more, Okuda comes up to him, and asks for the phone
Nobita admits he got scared, but promises he didn't reveal anything important
Okuda only tells him that things will be over soon
In a flashback, back at an illegal garbage dumpsite, the group talks about what they want in life
Kansai repeats wanting to be a rock musician
Nobita wants a girlfriend
Metabo wants to eat sushi that doesn't come from rotary sushi shops; and Okuda wants real friends
They don't reveal Hyoro's dream
We find him next dying because of kidney failure
Hyoro admits that he didn't know how costly it'll be to come to Japan; so he sold one of his kidneys
When he dies, their boss throws a shovel on top of his body, and tells them to bury him
In anger at the inhumane treatment, Metabo takes the shovel, and hits their boss with it
Before he can do further damage, the group takes one hit each
They burn the shack with their boss' body in it, while saving Hyoro's
This is when Okuda proposes if they want to make a difference
For their 6th and last video, Paperboy reveals the objective
He reveals that there are 4 of them,
and because of their 'punishment', innocent people were arrested
He acknowledges that they seek refuge on the internet as saviors, and must be punished as well
He discloses that they will be committing suicide in 24 hours, which will be streamed
Meanwhile, the detective partner declares that he found Paperboy's location,
which is in Pitboy cyber-cafe in Yokohama
The police rush to go
Kansai is working for the Pitboy cyber-cafe in Yokohama
Okuda passes by; and this time, he signs off the cyber-cafe's log sheet with his real name
The police pass over them as they're driving away
The Public Safety division finally identifies the group,
and what they think is their true intention, which is to send a message
They find Kansai had disappeared on his first day of work at the Pitboy cyber-cafe
Metabo worked under the command of Mr Justice
They also establish Nobita as the anonymous caller
At Okuda's former office, his former boss and colleagues pretend they don't know who he is
Ms Detective is leaving, when the janitor tells her that Okuda was taken away in an ambulance,
after vomiting blood and fainting
He confesses that he felt bad for Okuda, and was about to speak ill of the company,
but decides not to finish the thought
Investigating further,
she finds out that Okuda had no health insurance when he was taken to the hospital,
and had to pay for it himself
The nurse discloses that he was always on time with his payment
She then goes to one of the job agencies,
where a guy in glasses tells her that Okuda came for an interview; but he declines remembering him
Outside, she walks up to a couple of people,
to ask them what a person does if they can't find a job in the agency
They direct her to the man, who had hired the group
He tells her that he doesn't remember Okuda,
and declares that he offers jobs to a lot of people, most of whom are illegal immigrants
The Metropolitan cybercrime division, with the help of the Public Safety division,
looks into the 'Nelsin-Kato-Ricarte' name that was often used, when Paperboy uploaded a video
They find Hyoro's Filipino mom, who worked in a bar that hired foreigners
During her time there, she was intimate with one of the members of the House of Representatives
After admitting that she's pregnant, he disappeared
They assume that Hyoro's father is the one controlling Paperboy
By the beach, Okuda informs the others that it's time to put their plan into action
Kansai claims that it's the most satisfying moment of his life
Metabo comments that he has become sentimental
Kansai only smiles, and announces that they should do something great
While walking, he teases Nobita, who's still hugging an umbrella gifted to him by a waitress
During her investigation, a man wearing a large backpack approaches Ms Detective,
to let her know that he knows a little about the group,
informing her that they got a job together, but then disappeared
He leads her to a man wearing sunglasses, who denies knowing anything at first
He eventually gives in, and mentions that the group worked together at an illegal garbage dumpsite,
that was burned down a year ago, and that they all escaped
Since the Public Safety division has been right about the suspects from the start,
they follow the lead that Hyoro's father's the one controlling Paperboy
They raid the printing factory they think the group staying at,
but only find Hyoro's father trying to eat ramen in the cold, dark room
He had closed the printing factory due to technical complications,
and had no connection whatsoever with the others
Before doing anything, Metabo asks what one must do, in case they don't die
They chuckle; and Okuda tells him to blame those who died
He pulls out a phone, and slips it inside Nobita's thing without him knowing
In their last broadcast, Okuda as Paperboy, admits that their last objective was to gain sympathy
He shows the camera a capsule that contains a small amount of potassium cyanide,
which is enough to kill a person
They take off their masks to show their identity
Okuda pulls out the rest, and hands them over to the others
They swallow even Nobita, who's been having second thoughts,
after developing a romantic connection
with the waitress in the restaurant the group has been meeting at
Ms Detective and her group arrive too late at the burned-down shack in the illegal garbage dumpsite,
where Okuda and the others had decided to end their lives
The police check each of their pulses, and it seems only Okuda is dead
The rest are still alive
After examining them, Ms Detective finds Okuda holding a phone
She takes it, and watches the video that Okuda addresses to her
In the video, he asks Ms Detective to retrieve Hyoro's body, and surrender it back to his father
He tells her of Hyoro's story,
and how he wants them to meet even though they'll never know of each other
It turns out their real objective was to cause a disturbance,
enough for the police to investigate everyone's identity,
and find Hyoro's father, which is why they used Hyoro's name
The video cuts to Hyoro's video of the night, where Okuda was asking everyone what their dream was
Hyoro talks about wanting to find his father
He tells Okuda that once he does, he'll call him dad
There's a childish glee on Hyoro's face, as Okuda interviews him
He asks if Hyoro is not mad at him for abandoning him
Hyoro thinks for a moment, but denies this
He reiterates that he'll find his father and call him dad
Furious, Ms Detective yells at Okuda's body,
and asks him if that's the only thing they wanted, why they didn't ask for help
While hugging Okuda's body, she maintains that it's still worth living in this world
She cries
The others wake up at the hospital;
and the police play them a video taken by Okuda, where he's threatening them to agree to his plan
They ended up blaming Okuda for what happened,
even though the guilt can be seen on each of their faces
The movie ends with the full scene of what happened in the video
Without their knowledge, Okuda recorded them, admitting that he planned everything
It was a ruse, because he meant the surprise birthday celebration he planned for Metabo,
and not the actual plan as Paperboy
But this was enough for the group to plead innocent, and continue on with their life
