I was managing my husband's health.

I would have known if he was taking
medicine with strong side effects.

So, you're saying the accident wasn't
due to your husband's negligence?

That's right. Maybe someone
suddenly bumped into him.

Or maybe bus maintenance was
to blame. Nothing else makes sense.

Yet, it got brushed off
with a sloppy investigation.

They made it seem like
it was all my husband's fault.

The police have already
concluded the cause of the accident.

I'm telling you,
that was total nonsense!

Junko.

Calm down.

Excuse me.

Do you have any proof
he wasn't taking those meds?

My husband dedicated himself
to his work for 30 years.

He wouldn't even drink alcohol
except the night before a day off.

There's no way he'd take
something like that!

A trial? For the bus accident?

I want to clear Dad's name.

I'm thinking of suing
the bus company.

That's why

- I want you to be the plaintiff.
- Me?

I'll stand in court as your attorney.

Don't freak out when I tell you this

but Todoroki is actually related

to one of the victims
from that bus accident.

- And?
- You're not surprised?

Keep going.

Man, there's just so much
I need to explain.

I'll tell you
everything that's happened.

- If it makes sense to you--
- Fine by me.

You need me to be
the plaintiff, right? Got it.

- Wait, I haven't explained--
- It's fine!

I wouldn't get
all the complicated stuff anyway.

- If we're doing this, let's do it.
- Right.

Thank you for your cooperation.

She agreed to this
way easier than I expected.

You've all helped us out
so much already...

Mr. Todoroki.

I'm counting on you.

We will win this. I know it.

The real fight begins now.

THE OUTLAWS OF THE LAW

So you're sticking with the claim
that he didn't take any medicine.

Then I present defense exhibit No. 4,
the autopsy results for Uzaki Hiroo.

Uzaki Hiroo's body
showed a reaction to components

that are found
in anti-anxiety medication.

These components have side effects
like reduced concentration

and when the effects wear off

some people enter a delirious state
where they experience hallucinations.

Doesn't it make sense that these
symptoms hit while he was driving

and caused the bus accident?

I never saw symptoms like that
in all the years we lived together.

Isn't it possible he was suffering
in silence without telling you?

There's no way.

When I interviewed the employees

I heard your husband
was ostracized at work

due to his
over-the-top sense of justice.

Isn't it totally plausible that
stress broke him down mentally

and led to him
taking anti-anxiety meds?

Then how did he get the drugs?

You can't get them
without going to a doctor, can you?

There are tons of ways to get drugs
outside official channels.

With this evidence

it's undeniable that Uzaki Hiroo
was on medication while driving.

To try pinning it
on poor maintenance at this point...

It's simply not believable.

Hamaoka, as the manager of Minato
Central Bus, I'd like to ask you

What system did you have in place
for regular vehicle maintenance?

We did them properly,
following the ministry's regulations.

How often?

On top of every three months

we also do major checks every year.

"Three months"?

That's not very often, is it?

Of course,
we do daily checks every day.

You asked about regular inspections,
so I said every three months.

Regular inspections and daily checks
are different things.

The vehicle
in this accident cleared both?

Yes. There were no problems.

- Can you prove that?
- Of course.

We've got the maintenance logs
at the depot.

Otherwise,we'd get fined
by the authorities.

I see.

So the inspections were absolutely
done according to the schedule.

You didn't falsify the logs
or anything like that, right?

Objection.

The defendant has clearly been saying
that maintenance was done properly.

Then I present defense exhibit No. 8,
submitted by the defense

the maintenance schedule that Minato
Central Bus was using at the time.

These records go back a week
from the day of the accident

and indeed, every item for
all vehicles has a checkmark.

Well, yes.
Our company does things right.

Were some of the buses
you had running old ones?

- Well, of course.
- Then isn't it strange

that every single vehicle
is marked as fine on this table?

That's thanks
to the daily maintenance.

Is it realistic for every vehicle
to have zero issues ever?

Isn't it more likely
that daily checks weren't done

and people were being sloppy,
placing check marks anyway?

- Please stop with your accusations!
- Your Honor.

Suggesting sloppiness
is an insult to the defense.

I demand a retraction.

This is where the real fight starts!

Okay. What's the smartest way
to take down Ishikura?

We're gonna dig into
GI Technologies, right?

Idiot. If we could do that,
we'd have done it from the beginning.

The accident happened because their
driving system went haywire, right?

We don't have
the evidence to prove it yet.

Attacking the main target now
is too risky.

Aren't we supposed to be
attacking them?

It's just like war.

The closer you get to the enemy,
the higher the chances of dying.

What if they catch on
that we're snooping?

They'll use their power to squash us.

Then how do we attack?

There's a standard way
to take down a giant.

You bring it down
from the Achilles heel.

The Achilles heel?

There's another way to beat Ishikura,
one we haven't tried.

The company that caused the accident,
Minato Central Bus...

Right. Take the legs,
and the leader's head will fall.

Your dad worked here?

First time I've been here,
my old man's company.

- You're way too fired up.
- What?

I get how you feel, but if you go in
aggressive, we won't get any info.

Yes, yes.

Excuse me. Can we have a word?

Well, who are you?

I'm Uzaki, a lawyer.

Hey!

I'd like to ask about
the accident from five years ago.

Uzaki. A lawyer.

- Are you Uzaki's son, by any chance?
- I am.

Sorry, but we don't have
anything to say.

What does that mean?

It doesn't mean anything. Excuse us.

Why are you turning us down?

Something you don't want us to know?

- Listen.
- We'll tell you straight.

No one in this company has anything
good to say about your father.

Some lawyer you are.

After all the trouble he caused,
how can you show your face here?

Isn't that a bit harsh?

The name Uzaki has a really bad rep
in this company.

Excuse me.

No use. They all ignored me.

The first guys
must've tipped them off.

You went in way too aggressively.

Sorry.

Still, that was awful.

Can't blame you for getting upset...

I really am sorry.

Let's come back again.

Thank goodness! You're still here!

- Nice to meet you.
- Well...

I'm Horikiri, a mechanic.

I was working overtime
and heard you two were here.

I see.

His son really became a lawyer...

Your dad helped me out a ton.

So...

If you like,
I'll tell you everything.

Please tell us
your job title, Horikiri.

I'm a mechanic at Minato Central Bus.
I handle maintenance.

I'll ask you directly.

Do you think the maintenance
at Minato Central Bus was adequate?

No.

It was definitely

not enough.

The maintenance checklist has
everything marked off as good.

Are you saying
that doesn't match reality?

Yes.

I'd say the checklist is way off
from the vehicles' actual condition.

So, it was falsified?

It's embarrassing, but yes.

Were any issues spotted
in the vehicle before the accident?

Not just before the accident,
every three-month check

turned up faults or wear and tear
on multiple vehicles.

Didn't you report that
to the company?

Of course I did.

But they blew me off.

- Here you are.
- All right.

Your assessments are pretty harsh.

The way you see it,
every vehicle's a piece of junk.

Boss, bare minimum maintenance
is required to keep operations safe.

We're scraping by as it is here.

We can't throw extra money at this
and cut everyone's pay, can we?

- But--
- We'll fix them if they break, okay?

I'll take a look at this
and check them for now.

- Please. The brakes and air tank--
- I said I'd look!

I'm busy myself, you know.

I'm back.

Welcome back.

Uzaki...

How did the brakes feel?

I had to be careful with them.

They might just last
until the next inspection.

But no longer than that.

Right.

I have been telling the boss.

I get the situation.

Well, they're fine for now.

We'll be careful as we drive too.

Sorry for the trouble.

It's not your fault, Horikiri.

Transporting passengers
while keeping them safe.

That's our job, after all.

Exactly.

I can relax with you, you're very
committed to safe driving.

Hey now,
I still get to places on time.

That's true.

Thanks for all the tough work you do.

See you.

I think it put a real strain
on the drivers too.

We were doing overtime
every day just to make sure

that we had
the bare minimum safety covered.

Then why is the maintenance log
full of check marks?

I always noted the exact conditions
after each inspection.

I'd submit it to the boss every time.
But the next day...

The log would have all check marks.

You submitted it to the boss

but then it got recreated
with the check marks added later?

- Yes.
- Thank you.

I'm Takaido,
attorney for the plaintiff.

l present plaintiff exhibit No. 16,
logs written by Horikiri at the time.

These are the logs
before any alterations, right?

Yes.

Once I realized they'd get rewritten,
I started taking photos.

As the dates show, defects were noted
in multiple vehicles

during the last inspection
before the accident.

But Minato Central Bus
decided it was still okay

left them unfixed to save on costs,
and rewrote the logs.

That's right.

Well then, let me ask you...

What about the vehicle
in the accident?

Unfortunately

I didn't service that bus

so I don't know
its exact condition for that day.

But from everything
you've said so far

doesn't it seem likely that this bus
also had maintenance problems?

Objection!

This is unrelated
to the bus in the accident.

I'll rephrase the question.

Why didn't you
bring this up before now?

You could've mentioned it
after the accident.

That's right.

At this moment...

I regret not doing so.

- Didn't you protest the log changes?
- I did.

But people
started seeing me as nit-picky.

People started to mock me.

Before long,
I just stopped saying anything.

But even in all that, there was
one person who stood with me.

Uzaki Hiroo.

I can't keep quiet anymore!

This goes way beyond
just cutting costs!

What if something were to happen?

I told you, we'll handle it
at the next three-month inspection.

It won't hold out that long!

Please,
follow Horikiri's accurate logs

and get the vehicles
fixed right away!

Uzaki, why don't you relax a bit?

In this line of work, you have
to turn a blind eye to some things.

You're not just serious,
you're too serious!

There's been no accidents. You can
drive a vehicle with minor issues.

It's too late
once an accident happens!

Uzaki took it seriously.

He didn't back down despite the
insults and kept pushing his point.

For Uzaki's sake,
I should have acted sooner.

I stayed silent
these past five years.

I'm sorry.

If I'd spoken up more...

Then that accident...

I just can't believe

that Uzaki would
take a drug that breaks the rules.

I'm sure of it.

There was something wrong
with the vehicle.

Horikiri, thank you
for that valuable testimony.

Your Honor.

As the recent testimony indicates

there's a chance the vehicle
of the accident had issues

and more importantly, it seems
possible that Hamaoka knew.

Please grant me
another opportunity to question.

We don't see any need for that.

He's already covered what he knew.

The court would like to double-check
the vehicle's maintenance condition

so we'll allow questioning,
limited to that topic.

Then let me ask you again, Hamaoka.

Was there any issue
with the bus from the accident?

No, there wasn't.

Based on Horikiri's testimony
and plaintiff exhibit No. 16

wasn't shoddy maintenance
common at your company after all?

It wasn't.

In reality, our company hasn't had
any other accidents besides this one.

Hamaoka.

If there was any kind of issue
with that bus

the social fallout for you
would be huge.

Cutting loose the underlings is
a classic move for people in power.

- Settlement money?
- That's right.

Minister Ishikura put it together.

The minister?

Which means
the real cause of the accident--

The driver was the one driving.

Autonomous driving was switched off.

Like I explained, the AI was just
learning the local roads.

So maybe a glitch--

Listen. The minister is simply
reducing risk, nothing more.

People died...

Can we get away with this?

It'll be fine.

As long as we've got Ishikura backing
us up, we're not going down.

The minister will be
supporting us at every turn.

Understand?

I don't know what you're clinging to

but you won't be protected forever.

You will lose everything.

Just recently, someone close by
proved that, didn't they?

- Mayor!
- Mayor!

There were no maintenance issues!

I'm sure it was thoroughly inspected!

Why are you so certain about that?

That bus had an autonomous
driving system installed!

It was being used
to collect accurate data!

What is this all of a sudden?

Come up with a better excuse!

It's true!

We were collecting test run data

with GI Technologies'
autonomous driving system!

From two weeks before,
up to the day of the accident

there were no issues with the bus.
I can prove that!

No liability will arise!

Lying in court won't be forgiven.

I wouldn't lie in court.

You lawyers should know that!

I can say it right here.

There were zero maintenance issues!

That accident
was definitely the driver's fault.

About the trial, it's wrapped up
in a very favorable position for us.

It's pretty much a guaranteed win.

Is that right?

Winning is always better,
but the result won't affect anyway.

To think the family would sue
the bus company for compensation...

What kind of logic is that?

It's so off-base it's not even funny.

Just as you say, they don't seem
to understand a thing.

In any case,
cutting off Minato City paid off.

It was a needless detour, but better
than clinging to barren land.

It was a smart stop-loss.

As a result, the spread of
autonomous driving is accelerating.

Finally.

My long-held dream
has nearly been realized.

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

Just as we planned.

We lost the battle but won the war.

It went perfectly.
The strategy worked like a charm.

The enemy themselves testified to the
one thing we wanted most

proof that the autonomous driving
system was implemented!

Hamaoka said it, right?

That the bus had AI installed.
He said it right in court!

And he made it clear
that GI Technologies was involved.

That testimony will be properly
recorded in the court minutes.

It'll be solid evidence
when we fight the main trial.

- Things are looking good!
- Looking good!

- Junko...
- Yes?

We didn't clear
your husband's name this time.

I understand,
we're still fighting, right?

That's right.

My son already explained
everything to me.

I'm looking forward
to what comes next.

Thank you.

But I was really surprised.

You came up with
such an outrageous plan.

I'll do anything
to take down Ishikura.

My dad's bus company?

We're suing the manager
for violating safety obligations

on the pretext
of vehicle maintenance issues.

How does claiming maintenance issues
prove the AI system went haywire?

We're targeting Ishikura, right?

There are two main steps
to taking down Ishikura.

One, prove that the bus was equipped

with GI Technologies'
autonomous driving system.

Two, prove the system malfunctioned
and caused the accident.

We have to clear both steps

but without the first one, we can't
step in the ring with Ishikura.

You mean make the manager
admit it during the trial?

Exactly! The safety violation suit
is just to make him blab.

But we only get one shot at this.

It's a pretty big gamble.

But the odds are good.

If it works, it'll also bait Ishikura
into underestimating us.

First off, we'll need ammo
to corner him in court.

Then I'll barge into
the bus company myself.

We won that bet, right?

Yes. We cleared the first step,
just as planned.

Thanks again for all your help.

I'm glad I could be useful.

I've never been that nervous
in my life.

You were totally composed.

- A huge difference from your son.
- Oh, you!

What? Did you even see
my serious acting?

I was the one who pulled
that testimony out of him!

No, it was awful.

- "What is this all of a sudden?"
- Oh dear.

"Come up with a better excuse!"

Exactly. All the silly drama
was seriously annoying.

It wasn't silly drama.

- It was masterful acting! Masterful!
- Yes!

I never made that face!

You're exaggerating it!

It's good to see you.

Isn't this room kind of messy?

Kana's probably mad about it.

This is what I get
after working hard every day?

- Kana would be laughing.
- I bet.

What'd you say to her?

"We've finally made it this far."

"Keep watching over us."

I see.

Thank you.

It took a while,
but we've reached our goal.

We're finally in a position
to put up a fight.

Thanks to them busting their asses.

Yes, the kids team
did way better than I expected.

Now it's time for
the adult team to get to work.

First off, I'll show what I've been
working on undercover

since we first suspected
Ishikura's involvement.

The key player in this fight is...

The forensic pathologist,
Kuno Nobuyuki.

He's the guy who handled
Uzaki Hiroo's judicial autopsy.

This guy can expose the link
between Ishikura and the police.

What the hell kind of setup is this?

Sure, he's a big politician,
but the police are their own group.

How does
such a ridiculous cover-up even fly?

Here's a reunion photo
from his old university's society

the Hoshokai...

The man next to Ishikura

was the vice commissioner
of the police back then, Aoyagi Koji.

"Vice commissioner"?

Why would he cooperate?

Aoyagi lost out in the promotion race
within the police force

and was completely blocked
from becoming commissioner.

It's a well-known story
at the police.

This was the situation
when that accident took place.

Ishikura could have dangled
some sweet incentives to negotiate.

It's totally plausible.

Ishikura, in a bind

must have approached Aoyagi about
switching to a career in politics.

In exchange for his cooperation,
Ishikura would back him up.

Switching from a central department
to politics?

The timing couldn't have be better.

Makes sense.

But how did he pull off the cover-up?

Right. The vice commissioner issues
orders to the traffic division chief.

Then the on-site supervisor
falsifies things as instructed.

That's the process in a nutshell.

What a joke...

But what about Kuno? Maybe you can
control the police, but a doctor?

Why would a doctor get involved
in the cover-up?

- They found his weakness. Tamed him.
- Weakness?

Kuno seems solid as a doctor,
but he had some behavioral issues.

That's what I'm going after.

Listen up, boys. There's a bar
in the basement of that building.

Your job

is to infiltrate the place
and become regulars.

Do you even know
what kind of spot that is?

An underground casino.

Of course I know, kid.

Find out when they're holding
irregular events and let me know.

Are you for real?

- Who's gonna bother doing that--
- Quiet, there's more.

Once you've infiltrated successfully

befriend this guy.

Nail down exactly when
he shows up at the casino.

That's the extent of your job.

Why the hell
should we do any of this?

You're a chatty little criminal.

What did these kids do again?

This one's into weed.

This one's
running sugar daddy schemes.

And this one's a fraudster.

I found them all at my club.

You watch yourself, okay?

Okay, I'll do that.

- Damn you!
- Hey now...

Get cocky and I'll arrest you.

How're we supposed to get in?

Security's insanely tight.
Fake names get spotted right away.

No fake names needed.

Just go in with your real names
and bring your IDs.

What if we get busted?

Better than me
busting you right here and now.

If you get the info,
I'll let you off the hook.

You're still young.

Find something better to do.

The introduction letter.

If anyone asks, just say it's
from someone you met at my club.

Good luck.

Asami, what are you looking into?

Just come with me.

I need to know
what conditions trigger a raid

so I can negotiate it
with the higher-ups.

But it's not
in our jurisdiction, is it?

Doesn't matter.
We catch the bad guys, don't we?

Chief.

Asami.

I heard you're meddling again.

"Meddling"? What do you mean?

You took files
from the security division.

What're you investigating?

Perfect timing.

I wanted to talk to you
about busting an underground casino.

- Out of our jurisdiction.
- It's a breeding ground for crime.

Not totally out of our jurisdiction.

If you push it too far,
I'll have to take action.

How'd you get the info
on that underground casino?

It's my own investigation technique,
so I can't tell you.

What are you so hung up on?

Isn't it obvious?

Protecting the voices of good,
everyday citizens.

Creepy... What's so funny?

Oh, I was just thinking

about the recent trial.

My heart was racing,
and I was sweating bullets

but it was fun.

- The heck are you saying?
- Hey now!

I helped out, you know?

The way we did things would make
anyone's heart pound like crazy.

Sorry.

I was keeping so much from you.

But you know...

I don't think it's a coincidence

I ended up in a firm like this.

These past five years

we've only just been getting by.

That's right.

Feelings

that normally can't be processed...

We forced ourselves to process them.

And somehow, we got to a point
where we could smile again.

That's right.

No matter what anyone says,
we've given it our all.

But still

no matter how much

we try to brush it off

this lingering haze right here
doesn't go away, does it?

No.

It doesn't go away.

I've finally reached the point
where I can face it head-on.

Though it took me five years.

From here on out,
I'm fighting to smash this haze away.

I'm seriously going
to heal this wound!

And now

I have great friends.

I totally believe

that this is
the right way to do things.

Ryo.

It's okay. I feel the exact same way.

I see.

That's good then.

Actually

these past five years

I've been keeping in touch
with Todoroki.

What?

That accident

took so much from us.

It was such a sudden

and unfair parting.

Those of us left behind
didn't know what to do.

MURDERER

But

Todoroki forgave us.

He extended a helping hand.

A helping hand?

Remember I said? A lawyer helped when
you got into that assault incident.

What?

Then, the reason I wanted
to become a lawyer...

It was Todoroki.

Todoroki taught us

how to fight.

Sorry I didn't say anything.

Back then

every day

felt like a raging storm.

That's right.

Thanks to Todoroki,
that storm passed.

But it's not clear skies yet.

I've been so frustrated
all this time.

I want justice for your dad.

Pride and resolve...

You have them, right?

Yes. No matter what it takes

- I'll take down Ishikura.
- Then I'm ready to fight too!

An eye for an eye, just watch!

I've been ready for a long time.

Okay, eat some fried food
and perk up!

- Ryo! I'm coming in.
- What is it?

Come on.

Don't be saying stuff
that makes your mom sad.

But I'm tired of eating fried food.

Listen up.

You've got to eat it,
even if you force yourself.

Why do I have to do that?

Because it's something
your mom treasures.

It's her pride.

Ryo. What do you think

family or friends are?

I don't know.

I think

they're people who cherish
the same things.

That fried food

is the pride passed down carefully
from your grandma to your mom.

That means
you have to treasure it too.

Because we're family.

Not making people
you care about sad...

That's what justice is.

- Understand?
- Yes.

- I'm off!
- You're early today.

Well, I'm fired up.

These do taste great.

Of course they do.

- Say hello to everyone for me.
- Sure.

- Don't wipe your hands there!
- Sure.

Good morning.

Oh, Uzaki. You're early.

What are you looking at?
You're creeping me out.

Well...

I was just thinking,
you're here early too.

That's how fired up I am.

That's right.

- Hey, Mr. Todoroki.
- Yes?

Thank you for everything until now.

What's with the sudden thanks?

Am I really helping out here?

- What?
- Remember?

What you said before...

"Grow, so you're ready for
a big fight whenever it comes." Well?

I believe that
all the preparations are ready.

We're filing a damages
claim against GI Technologies.

Happy now?

Thank you!

Time to gather evidence
and testimonies for the lawsuit.

Finally launching an attack!

Got a plan?

First, we make contact with
employees who quit GI Technologies.

We'll hold a strategy meeting
once everyone's here.

All right!

President, may I have a word?

Can't you see I'm busy?

- Is it important?
- Yes.

All right, what is it?

- It's a lawsuit.
- A lawsuit?

We're being sued?

Yes, it seems that way.

Who exactly is suing us?

The plaintiff is Uzaki Junko.

The lawyer is Todoroki Kenjiro,
head of Peace Law Firm.

I see.

They're suing your place?

Yes.

Which means they might have
figured out a few things.

Why do you think that?

I looked into
the Minato Central Bus trial records.

The manager testified that our system
was installed on the bus.

Pretty well-prepared?

I see.

So that failed trial was actually
about locking in evidence.

They got us good.

The victim's family and the
perpetrator's family...

I'll admit they're
more than just pests.

Innovation requires sacrifice.

Why don't they get that?

What a bunch of fools.

I completely agree.

Sure, errors got reported.

But hardly ever.
They'd never happen in real life.

No technology in this world
is 100% perfect.

That's a completely fair take.

That one fluke happened

right when we were
logging driving data.

Basically...

It was rotten luck.

We're talking landslide
or plane crash levels of probability.

You don't get tech breakthroughs
by freaking out over such odds.

Actually, the data overwrite
was going great for those two weeks.

This is the first time
we've been cornered like this.

They're coming at us
with crazy determination.

How do we handle this?

How about this?

We'll hire a guy
with the same crazy determination.

Does such a person exist?

I can think of just one...

Yes.

No.

I'm grateful for the opportunity.

Yes.

I'll give it everything I've got.

Excuse me.

The sins committed by GI Technologies
have been shouldered by that family!

Never lie to that sense of justice.

I'm not looking
at what's in front of me

but the future of this country!

I want to tell you that my dad
was the best person in the world.
