“BORDER: Shokuzai* (Atonement),” premieres Friday, September 21 at 7:35 p.m.

Ango Ishikawa (Shun Oguri) is an ambitious and hardworking detective at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. He developed the special ability to communicate with the dead after a bullet lodged near the artery at the base of his brain. Listening to the voices of the dead victims fuels his sense of righteousness and he tries to solve cases and capture criminals. But the stronger his desire to carry out justice grows, the more dangerous he becomes.

Ishikawa eventually has a showdown with Ando who kidnapped and murdered his own 8-year-old son. At that time, Ando provoked Ishikawa by declaring that Ishikawa would always lose to him because the justice he practices is “halfbaked.” Ishikawa swayed between right and wrong and was forced to make the ultimate decision for the sake of his own justice and revenge for the dead… Fully subtitled in English.
