Original subtitles

This is the campsite where the poisoning case occurred.

The suspect arrested for the murder is...

...Notoa Toru, 43 years old.

The car carrying the camp indiscriminate murder suspect, Notoa Toru...

...has just entered Okutama Police Station.

Can you see it? Behind that blue sheet...

...it's the front of the cookhouse. The murderer is suspected...

...to put poisonous herb inside the water tank left over there.

The camp participants who drank from the water tank vomited one by one...

...and collapsed around that area.

In this case, 2 people died...

...and 5 others are in serious condition and still unconscious.

One summer 30 years ago...

..tents were set up...

...and various families spent the night here.

If that case hadn't happened...

...this place would have remained a campsite until now.

There are people whom we think are better died, but they don't get killed.

He must be nuts for committing indiscriminate murder, huh?

When it comes to things you can't change no matter how much you think about it...

...you better not think about it at all.

So you don't think of things you can't change no matter how much you think of it?

Hmm...

...I guess so.

By doing so, you managed to keep on living?

Wow~

If so, why did you bring me here?

Because if I don't come along, you'll come here alone, right?

The image of you standing here alone...

...is something I don't want to imagine.

Don't be so kind to me.

I'm just worried.

Because you're my old friend.

We are old friends, huh...?

You're right.

- Here. - Ah, thank you.

Ah...

...what will you do about putting your mother's ashes into a tomb?

I've done it.

- What? You did it alone? - Not really alone, actually...

- The monk was there too. - Of course, but...

Even though I can't visit the crime scene alone...

...apparently I can lay her ashes to rest alone~

You could have told me about that.

I wonder if Mama would be happy if you came too.

Well... isn't she happier to see her daughter was tough enough...

...to lay her ashes to rest alone?

It would be great if so.

I'm home.

If I put Mama's ashes into the tomb together with Odaka-san only...

...we would look just like lovers or a married couple, right?

21 January 2020 (Tue)

I'm in front of Tokyo District Court now.

The verdict for the murder suspect...

...Okita Hidenori, who was a former superintendent, will be announced soon.

A large number of people who want to attend the hearing gather around the area...

...so the distribution of the numbered tickets is taking a lot of time.

Huh?

- Hey! Here, here, here! - Ah.

- Sorry to make you wait. - Thank you.

What kind of murder case we are waiting for today?

What? You came here while knowing nothing?

I was just told to come because there are many people here...

If you didn't have that wristband, I'd send you away already.

You'll know it once you look up for the case's summary on your smartphone.

Ah...

- The tragedy happened on Halloween. - This?

The suspect, Okita Hidenori, who was the former chief of Josai Police Station...

...was arrested for a murder by Metropolitan Police Dept.

The victim is his grandson who lived together with him, Okita Hiroto, 24 years old.

After his grandson's parents passed away in an accident...

...Okita raised Hiroto by himself.

The suspect Okita admitted the crime...

...but said nothing about the motive. It caused troubles for the investigation.

I heard an angry voice. It was like strict education or so...

Their neighbors said that it might be the result from the wrongly strict upbringing...

Since the defendant is an ex-superintendent, this case gets so much attention.

Especially because it's related with the strict upbringing.

- Ah, Hatano-san! - Whoa!

Ah, Maria-san from "Weekly East".

- Ah, I'm Kate. Makabe Kate. - Sorry. Yeah, Kate-san.

- What? Waiting for the tickets drawing? - Yeah. Unlike people from newspapers or TV...

...which are protected by the journalists' club system, weekly magazine like us is different.

Good luck.

Ah, if you have some info which isn't written in newspapers, please let me know!

Okay, okay!

How can she throw away her pride like that, huh?

That is...

What is pride, huh?

Fukunishi!

Newspaper won't write about private matters like affairs or divorce of politicians and bureaucrats, right?

That's why, picking up those things which they ignore...

- ...is one of our techniques! - O-okay...

Newspapers which get the privilege from the journalists' club...

...has to speculate when it comes to police and government!

That's why, for us who are outside that journalists' club...

...it's our job to convey the truth!

The pride of weekly magazines lies in that!

You are too loud!

I didn't say anything wrong, anyway.

It's okay. Let the whole world hear that too!

- What are you saying, Kijima-san? - It's out!

- The drawing result is out! - Huh? Wait a sec...

Don't push each other.

Sorry, excuse me... I can't see it...

86... 86...

Ah, it's there! It's there, it's there!

- No luck. - Well then, I'm going inside.

Take care.

Though it's you who always pursue this news, huh?

- How unlucky. - If it's Makabe-san, I don't mind.

- I'm glad it wasn't me. - So you know that too.

I'm leaving.

But if you don't go through the difficulties alone, you won't learn about your work. Understand?

- Yeah. Of course. - "Of course"?

- I'll go to the other hearing, then. - What is it about?

Housebreaking case. But nothing was stolen.

The suspect just cleaned and did the laundry in that house. Weird, huh?

Perhaps it can be one idea to submit at tomorrow's meeting.

Are you okay?

8-26-78 Kamishakujii, Nerima Ward, Tokyo.

With the intention to kill Okita Hiroto...

...the defendant hit the victim's head from behind multiple times with a golf club.

Because of that, the victim died at the scene due to suffering from brain contusion.

The defendant is sentenced to 1 year imprisonment.

The execution of this sentence will be postponed for 3 years since the day this trial is settled.

Aware of the weigh of your crime which took away the future of your grandson...

...please keep praying for his soul for the rest of your life.

The court is adjourned.

A criminal who killed his grandson he raised himself.

A criminal who killed people indiscriminately.

Both admitted their crime but keep the real motive in the dark.

Why...?

Shiranakute Ii Koto

English subtitle by: aoihachi

22 January 2020 (Wed)

I think we need to meet the grandson-murder defendant face-to-face...

...or we won't be different from any other magazines.

- If you meet him, what will you ask? - I won't know if I don't meet him.

What?

My intuition says that he's hiding something.

- Sounds vague. - If we can get the real voice of the criminal...

- ...I'm sure it will attract people's interest. - Yeah... Well then, try it.

- Okay. - Okay, next, Onodera.

First. The reason behind the act of a woman...

...who broke into a house while it's empty will move you to tears.

She broke into the house of seemingly happy family with kids...

...and stayed there while imagining if that happened to her own life.

- She said so. - Is that interesting?

- Huh? - For now, let's put it on hold. Next.

I talk to Kato-sensei from Mayo Clinic about the preventive measures...

...regarding the increasing rate of breast cancer in these past 10 years.

- It's a must for female readers. - We can use that.

My 3rd topic is about the man behind the divorce of Miki Ryuzo and Saeki Kanako...

...who were chosen as the 3rd best couples last year.

- I've got evidence. Photos too. - Is it a tip-off?

Well, sort of. But I can't tell you about the source.

- That's a good one. We can use it. - Okay.

My 4th topic is "A Secret Winter Trip to Hot Spring with Your Boyfriend- Top 10 Hotels Recommendation".

Hey, we aren't travel magazine.

My 5th topic is the outfits price ranking of "Kouhaku Uta Gassen".

That's totally no good! It's for 5 February, okay?

Okay, next, Fukunishi.

Now, bomb creating is kinda popular on the net.

How about "Trying to create bomb in an editorial dept."?

Rejected. Next.

You must submit 5 ideas.

Don't go home until you get 5 ideas. Dismissed.

You aren't a YouTuber, you know.

I have an acquaintance who works at the police station...

...which was led by Okita Hidenori before. I'll go meet him.

- What a network you have! - Before that, I guess I'll ask people around his house.

Ah, Kuro-san, if it's accepted at the editor's meeting, call me.

- Are you my boss? - I'll be her assistant.

Don't just decide as you please, you fool!

What's with them?

Nerima Ward - Around Okita's House

- Hello! - Hello~

"Nijinoha Nursery School"

A couple?

- Huh? Well... - That's impossible, right? Cut that out.

Is it impossible?

It is... im... possible...

He was strict because he's a policeman.

- I heard angry voices so many times when I threw away the trash. - Me too!

I'm sure he was training his grandson strictly.

The angry voice was even heard from outside the house!

- Yeah! - Yeah, it was the worst!

Just like what we've heard, seems like it was strict upbringing which went too far.

Excuse me, can I ask you something?

What? Mass media?

We are from "Weekly East".

All the info out there is so biased, right?

Huh?

Even though every time the police, newspapers, or magazines asked me...

...I always said that he loved his grandson so much...

...and that he didn't look like someone who would raise his grandson harshly.

But my comment...

- ...wasn't written anywhere. - W-wait a moment.

What do you mean by 'he didn't look like someone who would raise his grandson harshly'?

Well, I don't know how it was in their house but...

...he wasn't harsh.

He made his grandson lunchbox for 6 years since junior high to high school.

"Weekly East" will write this down, right?

Ah... well... I can't promise you that but...

- ...I will use it as reference. - What the heck.

You're just like my husband. Boring.

Metropolitan Police Dept. - Josai Police Station

I can't believe that Okita-san killed his grandson...

...whom he loved so much.

Hasebe-san, do you know his grandson personally?

Yeah. He's the same age as my son.

So we went to Disneyland together a couple of times.

But people say he raised his grandson harshly.

Well, as his fellow policeman...

...I can't help but think that he's covering for something.

Even now, I still can't believe that Okita-san killed his grandson.

Does everyone in this police station think so too?

We all want to get rid of this case as soon as possible...

...so no one really says anything about it. I'm leaving, okay?

- Please keep it confidential that I gave you info. - Of course.

The secrecy of our source is fundamental.

I might contact you again later!

I'm looking forward for your cooperation next time.

Just forget about this case, okay?

- Thank you very much! - Thank... much.

- What's with you? - Sorry...

- Please have a seat and wait. - Okay.

Central Tokyo Detention House

I wonder why everyone thinks he raised his grandson harshly.

Because the police and mass media want to create a story which people can easily understand, right?

When you're told that, "It's the result of harsh upbringing"...

...you'll think, "I see", right?

But the defendant also testified that he raised his grandson harshly, right?

Hmm... I wonder if it's true.

Huh? Do you mean that he's lying?

- Well, I don't know. - Makabe Kate-san.

Yes.

Okita Hidenori said that he didn't want to meet you.

Um... is there any person Okita-san meets other than his lawyer?

I can't answer that.

"I can't answer that"...

I know it's weird to ask you this...

...but do you know when Kate will put her mother's ashes into the tomb?

Seems like she's done that.

- When? - She didn't tell me.

But she said she did that alone.

I see...

- It's too late to worry about her, huh? - She's so tough, right?

- I'm quite surprised. - Well, when you lost your parents...

...that's when you finally become fully grown-up.

Is that so...? My parents are still alive...

...so I'm not fully grown-up, then.

- I'm back. - Oh, how was it?

He turned me down. But I'll go there again tomorrow.

- Will you make it for the next issue? - Of course I will!

- What's your basis of saying that? - Nothing.

- What? - But even so, while I went collecting data...

...I found a big difference with the info we know so far.

- I'm sure it will be an interesting article. - Even though it's interesting...

- ...it's meaningless if you can't make it on time. - I'll make it on time!

To see her putting strong face like that...

- ...is kinda worrying, right? - Yeah.

I'll try to meet him. I want to know his true motive for killing his grandson.

- Motive? - I just can't accept the motive...

...that was told to everyone.

Motive...

- What? - Ah, no. Nothing.

Excuse me.

Safe!

Is it not going well with Makabe-san?

Hmm? What?

I have really good intuition on things like that.

Mm-hmm... Huh? It's not your business, right?

If you break up with her...

...please go out with me.

Ah, I'm getting down here! Excuse me, sorry.

- I'm going down... Sorry! - Are you okay?

I know an acupuncture expert. I'll introduce him to you.

Acupuncture? Sounds scary.

It won't hurt. Acupuncture is the best for stiff shoulders.

Really...?

Hey, what do you think?

- I think it's good. - Really?

Yeah.

- Oh. - Yo.

What? Is your mother passed away too?

Stop that! It's ill-omened.

You won't find any other department as fun as ours.

- Let's work hard here! - I don't say anything!

- Here, have some. - I'm back.

Rice crackers.

- I'm back~ - Welcome back.

I'm back.

Kuro-san, let's drop the housebreaking story.

- I didn't submit it in the first place. - Ah, thank God~

When I met her in the suspended sentence period, it was the worst.

- Worst? - She broke into the house...

...not because she wanted to experience the happiness she didn't get...

...but because she wanted to try the newest home appliances.

- What? - She's a home-appliances-freak.

If so, she should have broken into a retail store instead.

She wanted to use the home appliances in a living space.

For couples which both are working, it's highly possible...

...that they have lots of home appliances to save time and effort.

But how did she know that the empty house belongs to such couple?

She works at a home delivery service, so she knows that.

- What about the house with children? - It's just coincidence.

When she was arrested, she actually told the truth.

But no one believed her, so she was interrogated over and over again.

When she said that she was lonely and wanted to have children...

...somehow the police and her lawyer suddenly believed her.

Before she knew it, everyone though that's her true reason.

In short, everyone wanted to hear a motive they could accept?

Yeah, but since she was unhappy to be mentioned...

...as a miserable woman in the judgment paper...

...she told me the truth during the interview.

It's more interesting.

- Huh? - A woman who repeatedly broke into houses...

...because she wanted to use the home appliances.

- It's odd and that's good! - Huh?

How come you think that's not interesting?

"The afternoon of a home-appliances-freak woman". I'll propose it to our editor-in-chief.

"The afternoon of a home-appliances-freak woman"? Can I write that?

This came to my mind after listening to Onodera-san's story.

The police, lawyer, courthouse, mass media...

Everyone easily believes in the story they can easily accept and understand.

So those stories are just made up for that trend.

- Ah, hey. - Yes?

Is there any data from the people around the victim?

No, there isn't any.

I think the police didn't investigate much about the victim either.

- Good. Let's try that. - What?

Everyone was really nervous before the bar exam...

Nobuhisa Univ - Law School Campus

...but it was quite extreme for Okita.

- Like what? - In the middle of the seminar...

...he tapped his foot a lot... Ah, hey, hey, hey!

It's about Boking who was just murdered. How weird he was before the exam?

Um, what do you mean by "Boking" you just said?

Ah, we usually called Okita with "Boking".

What does it mean?

It's the abbreviation for "Bombing king".

- Boking... - Hey, cut that out.

- What's with you? - Just stop it. Come on.

- It's okay, right? - Oh, shut up.

We have nothing to do with him.

- Sorry. - Thank you very much.

Seems like his friends don't like him, huh?

When Okita Hiroto-san worked part-time here...

...what kind of person he was?

I don't want to speak ill of a deceased person, but he was a nasty guy.

Since his grandpa was a policeman, our manager never complained. But he's always lazying around.

Did he tell you that he took bar exam?

If someone like him became a judge or public prosecutor...

...it would be so bad.

Did he tell you about making bombs?

He said that his hobby was making bombs. Everyone ignored it, though.

Thank you very much.

Good work today.

- Let's have a talk after this. - Okay.

Well... while eating dinner, okay?

Okay!

Your voice is too loud.

Okay...

- I'm leaving first. - Okay, good work today.

Thank you for your hard work.

When we were like them before, it's unthinkable to leave...

- ...before our copy editor went home. - Well, well~

But that wasn't quite effective either.

Guess so...

Good work today.

We're leaving first.

So you haven't got 5 ideas yet?

Having 5 ideas is impossible.

- So I'm digging into this 1 idea deeply. - Come on, tell me what it is.

Well, the one I submitted this morning was about the website about making bombs.

I've got to access the parts of the website which normally inaccessible.

I've rejected that bomb idea this morning.

But, but... This site is seriously an underground website and it's scary.

There are people who made bomb warning here.

- Then... Then... - Then?

- The bulletin board is scary too. - Then?!

Then? Then... well, despite of the bomb warning posted here...

- There are no actual bombing incident happens so far... - Then?

- But still it's possible to happen... - Then?

- You are scolded again? - It's the same as me.

- Ah, it's Boking! - What? - It's a post by Boking.

"On Halloween day, I will bomb Nijinoha Nursery School in Nerima Ward".

"Happy Halloween".

Nijinoha Nursery School!

A couple?

Kuro-san, the nursery school mentioned in this warning...

...is so near the house of the criminal of that grandson-murder case.

- Then? - This "Boking" username.

It was Okita Hiroto's nickname back in his law school.

- What does it mean? - Some days before Halloween...

...Boking always made entries here.

But since Halloween, he disappeared from the bulletin board.

- Because he was killed on Halloween day. - Right!

The murderer, Okita Hidenori...

...was the former chief of Josai Police Station.

If he knew about this bomb warning, he would surely try to stop that.

He killed him not out of the harsh upbringing...

...but to stop him from bombing that school.

It's all connected! Kurokawa-san, it's my scoop.

- You shut up. - But it's me who found this, right?

Kate, tomorrow, meet the criminal by all means and ask him about this.

Before that, you better meet his lawyer first.

Criminals who hide something hate mass media.

- Ask his lawyer for the interview. - Okay.

I'm going to see his lawyer now!

Okita Hidenori accepted his sentence. We won't file an appeal.

Even after his prison term is ended...

...he will live quietly while endlessly praying for his deceased grandson.

If by any chance your deduction is actually true...

...I don't think Okita Hidenori will admit that.

If new truth is revealed now...

...I think it's possible to get his sentence suspended.

I think Okita doesn't want any new truth to be revealed now.

Are you okay with that, Sensei?

Then, why does law exist?

Law exists to protect human's life, freedom, property, and dignity.

- It exists so that human can live together in harmony. - If so, isn't it your job as a lawyer...

...to protect Okita Hidenori's freedom and dignity...

...by revealing the truth?

As Okita Hidenori's lawyer, it's my job to proceed this...

...in accordance with his wish.

Here is our posh lobster.

Um...

- What's so good about me? - Ah, I don't know.

Your back isn't so wide...

Your brain is nothing special...

And you aren't so dedicated to your job as well.

But somehow I like you.

There's nothing good about me, then.

But I like you.

That's what true love is all about, right?

Somehow it makes me unhappy to think that I'll be the next one for you after Makabe-san.

But there's also a part of me who thinks that it doesn't matter. I'm a bit surprised.

Well, I want you to promise me one thing.

Please don't ever ask me about the reason I broke up with Makabe-san.

- Why is it? - Don't ask that either.

If you can promise me that, I'll go out with you.

- I promise! - Okay.

- Don't ask no matter what, okay? - Adding "no matter what"...

...actually makes me want to ask more...

- ...but I won't ask. - Okay.

By the way, what is your father's job?

- He works at Mitsuhane Trading Company. - Ah, trading company?

Yes. He sells Japanese cars in India.

I used to live in India while I was at elementary school.

My mother was just a housewife when we were still in India...

...but since we are back to Japan, she teaches piano 2 days in a week.

- But why do you ask such things? - Well...

I just want to know the roots of someone I'm going out with.

Well...

Though I say I want to go out with you, I'm not thinking about marriage.

Yeah... Huh? Ah, I know that.

Oh!

Are you alone?

I was irritated because the lawyer rejected me...

...so I thought I would eat something expensive!

It's natural that the lawyer won't easily let you interview him, right?

Huh? But you told me to go ask him~

Because asking the lawyer is the fastest way.

- Well, don't give up on that. - Okay. I'll try again tomorrow.

- Sorry, my bill, please. - Hey, stay a bit longer, okay?

- Odaka is here too anyway. - Hmm... but I'm already full...

I'll treat you, so please stay.

Really? Can I order a small oyakodon, then?

Didn't you say you're full?

I can still eat a small portion of it.

- Woman who's a good eater is good. - Yay!

- A small oyakodon, please. - Okay.

Hmm... so as the editor-in-chief of "Weekly East"...

...you don't talk about work with your wife at home?

- Not at all. - Wow~

But... sometimes we do.

Ah... but "Weekly World" special report...

...about "Political funds embezzlement ranking" was great.

- So I praised her for that. - What? You looked down on them.

"Weekly East" always has better sales than them, anyway.

That's why, my standard becomes higher.

Well, that's right...

What? Is it so strange?

No, it's not strange or so...

Even though you said it's not strange, you laughed.

- It's okay, right? Don't criticize him like that. - Somehow I knew it~

- We are old friends anyway... - What?

- Old friends! - Old friends?

Ah... for me, it feels like old friends too with my wife.

Because you hooked up with your wife...

...when you went together to cover that hurricane in US, right?

You both took advantages of that chaotic situation. How embarrassing~

Geez, it's indeed embarrassing! I don't want to remember that.

Ah... wait...

Wait, I need to go to the toilet... Sorry, sorry!

- Hey, hey, are you okay? - I'm good. Excuse me~

Is she really okay?

- Was it good? - Yeah, it was delicious.

Glad to hear that.

My house is just after that corner. Wanna come?

Well, I'll skip for today.

- Later, then. - Yeah...

Thank you for the meal.

Hey, Kate, we've arrived.

What the heck is the law...

Huh?

Hey, we've arrived. Wake up.

Come on.

Geez...

What is law, huh...

You keep saying that.

What is it about?

Ah...

Ah, ah... don't look.

I don't see anything.

Bye then.

- Odaka-san. - Hmm?

If Mama's ashes are no longer here...

...I thought this house would be too big, so I couldn't lay it to rest.

Though it's long passed the 49th day already.

Mm-hmm.

Thank you for accompanying me home.

Bye then.

"Miho: Tomorrow morning, can you drive me to the nursery school?"

"That's my intention."

Drive, please.

Oh.

"I've laid it to rest!"

"Now, it's time for another attack to the lawyer!"

She is a journalist from "Weekly East".

I'm Makabe Kate.

I requested to meet you yesterday and also the day before, but you turned it down.

You've told me that you don't want to meet anyone from mass media...

...but her passion is no trifling matter.

I myself hate weekly magazines...

...which often exposing others' privacy for amusing purpose.

But I feel that she's different.

As your lawyer, I want you to hear what she's thinking too.

That's why, I bring her with me this time.

If you don't want it, I will tell her to go home...

Wait a moment, please. I can finally meet him.

At least, please let me speak.

The reason why you murdered your grandson...

...is not because of your harsh way of raising him, right?

This is just my imagination, though.

Hiroki-san couldn't study well for his bar exam...

...and he blamed the nearby nursery school for being noisy and disturbing his study.

He seriously thought of bombing that nursery school...

...so, using a manual he got from underground website, he created bomb.

You wanted to stop him.

He planned to do the bombing on Halloween...

...and he wrote it on the site's bulletin board the day before.

Since it's already like his habit, you could guess...

...what your grandson was about to do.

So you stopped him who was about to go out...

...while carrying the bomb he made.

You were struggling...

...so you ended up hitting him with the golf club and murdered him.

Am I wrong?

In order to protect Hiroto-san's honor...

...you covered up his crime by doing this.

That's what I think.

If her thought is actually true...

...it's possible to suspend your sentence.

Please end this session.

If you want to talk, please just call me anytime.

Because I'm a lawyer who works for your sake.

So he didn't admit it.

So, based on your deduction...

...Okita Hidenori actually protected the life of that nursery school students...

...and hide the fact about his grandson's failed attempt of bombing?

Perhaps.

Rather than killing him, it would've been better to hand him to the police.

But if he did that, his grandson...

...would be arrested for failed attempt of bombing.

And it would destroyed his honor as a former superintendent too.

Hmm...

It's also possible that he didn't really intend to kill him...

...but in order to stop his grandson, he ended up murdering him.

We never know if he actually wanted to protect his grandson's honor...

...or his own honor, that he even had to kill his grandson.

This is...

...interesting.

By describing the situation of your meeting with him in details...

...you'll have enough circumstantial evidence to write down your deduction.

Though we got no statement from him?

What's with you? Do you sympathize with a murderer?

It's not like that.

We can't create a powerful article just by using our imagination.

- If she doesn't want to do it, you do it, Sato. - What?

Wait... if it has to be written, I'll do it.

I'm the one who met Okita anyway.

Why are you hesitating?

I think it will be an interesting article, but...

...I just don't know what I'm doing this for.

"Weekly East" is neither police nor courthouse.

That's why, we don't do this to uphold justice.

But we pursue the cases and scandals desperately.

What is it for?

That is...

- ...our endless interest on human. - Right.

Human doesn't only have one face but is somehow three-dimensional being.

People can have such sides, they can think of such things...

...and they can do things like this or that.

We convey this earnest way of life of people to our readers.

I know that already without you telling me.

- I'm not a newbie. - Write it, then.

There's nothing to be hesitated about.

Okita Hidenori is a former superintendent. He was someone with authority.

As a superintendent...

...how did he bring up his grandson and what had he been through?

Use your imagination to write about his suffering after killing his own grandson.

What a former superintendent actually wanted to protect...

...that he even had to kill his grandson and threw half of his life away in vain.

Write what you think of it, Kate.

With those circumstantial evidence, imagine how he must feel for being pressed to do that and write it.

Why they came up with a simple motive...

...like harsh upbringing at first, write that too.

It must be an interesting article which will surprise the world.

Write it now.

- Before you send it for printing, I'll check it. - Okay.

I wonder what is Kurokawa team arguing about.

Yeah. Well, for special report team...

...suspense is already like a part of their life.

Did Makabe-san told you that?

You've promised me not to ask that, right?

I've promised you not to ask about your reason for breaking up...

...but I didn't promise that we would never talk about Makabe-san at all.

You're unexpectedly sensitive, Nonaka-san.

- Cut that out. - I won't~

List up the restaurants for our dinner meeting with Maruyama-sensei.

- Okay. - Ask other companies too.

- So that we won't have double info. - Huh?

Don't you have network with other companies? How long have you been doing this, huh?

Wait... why are you so serious?

"What a murderer wants to protect"

What a murderer wants to protect.

That made him go as far as sacrificing people's life...

Thank you for your hard work.

Thank you very much.

You must write a more decisive article. Fix it.

Sum this part up.

You can make it sound more touching, right?

I've reached my limit.

Kate, could it be that... somehow...

...you are troubled with something else so it's difficult for you to write this?

It's not like that.

I see. Well then, I'll fix it.

- You can go home now. - Well, well... Iwatani-san.

It's Makabe Kate's signature article...

"I'm going to buy an altar for Mama at home."

"Can you accompany me?"

"You could put the ashes in the tomb alone."

"But you can't buy the altar alone?"

How cruel.

"I'll do that alone."

"Is it a murder to uphold justice? Or is it justice which went too far?"

Yes. Thank you very much for your precious comment.

Ah, no, it's not a judgmental article.

Yes... I will.

Due to our duty of confidentiality, we can't tell you about our source.

I'm sorry.

We now have a new viewpoint for this case, that the murder is unavoidable...

...in order to stop his grandson from killing many people.

Our impression on the criminal changes completely, right?

They all go the opposite way now.

- Iwatani-kun, a call from our distributor in line 1. - Okay.

Yes, this is Iwatani.

Huh?

I see... Thank you very much.

Everyone!

It's selling well!

Let's have sushi today, shall we!

Yeah!

Why did you hide the fact that your grandson...

...created bombs?

We have no intention to file an appeal.

Even though the bomb has been found, you won't file an appeal?

Yes. I don't know what Okita feels about this but...

...I just want to let you know.

Thank you very much.

You don't seem well.

Ah...

Sometimes I just wonder...

...if this is really the best.

Why does a savage like you think that way, huh?

Am I... savage?

I am too, though.

Thank you for your hard work.

Notoa Toru-san.

I'm Makabe Kate.

Repair?

Or buy something?

Didn't my name remind you of anything?

I'm working at Tougen Publishing.

I'm the daughter of Makabe Anna.

Give me money.

How much do I have to pay...

...so that you will talk to me?
