She also lets him know that she has always thought highly of him, even back when he was a stuck-up inspector who gave her a hard time.

I basically agree, but I don't think there's much of a deep relationship between Tsunemori and Ginoza. They're just former colleagues, now turned leader/underling relationship. And I *do* think Tsunemori and Kogami are in a platonic relationship before his escape. And it seems like they still are, as shown when Tsunemori asks Kogami to go out to dinner at the end of Psycho Pass: First Inspector.

<p>The end of this movie was a bit unclear for me. Ginoza said to her that Kougami isn't worth her attention and that she should just leave him alone. But then Tsunemori responded that Ginoza hasn't changed and always wants to carry the burden. She then smiles at him and he smiles back. So there is definitely something behind those words.</p>

<p>If my assumption is correct, Ginoza planned to catch Kougami alone and doesn't want Tsunemori to be involved (carry the burden alone). But Tsunemori declines his plan and wants to catch him too by saying Ginoza always wants to carry the burden alone and then smiles.</p>

<p>Am I correct with that assumption?</p>

Does Tsunemori still try to catch Kougami at the end of the movie?

I don't think Ginoza will go after Kougami. He's finally found his place at the PBS, taking care of his team and being a detective, in much the same manner his father was. Also, unlike Tsunemori who is adamant about bringing Kougami in, despite knowing that he'd be locked up for the rest of his life, if not killed outright by Sybil (which is rather intriguing, and hints at an obsession not unlike Kougami's with Makishima), Ginoza seems to be okay with Kougami gone. For him it really was goodbye, and if anything, he wants to help Tsunemori let go too.

When Tsunemori sent Ginoza to find Kougami, she showed Ginoza how much she trusted him - not only with upholding the law, but with looking after her. So Ginoza shouldered the burden of letting Kougami go (thus living with the consequences) and of standing by Tsunemori as she deals with him being gone - again. When he's telling her about Kougami, he's telling her the truth as he sees it. First of all, Kougami got Tsunemori in trouble and endagered her life - again. Secondly, Kougami has changed - he's become harder, more driven and more nonchalant about the ideals he had held first as an inspector and then as an enforcer under Tsunemori's lead.

Thirdly, as Ginoza has finally been able to relax into his true self and open up to others, he has come to care for Tsunemori, love her even. She is precious to him - she treats the enforcers with respect and empathy, she never wavers in her sense of duty, her desire to make society better and safer.
