PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE

I humbly apologize.

You understand the current situation, right?

-Answer us! -Will you admit it was fabricated?

Now it is your turn.

Chief Prosecutor of the High Office, huh!

Miyama's father was also found guilty of murder.

Prosecutor Miura said we had enough evidence to indict Miyama.

He tried to blame Mr. Miyama for everything.

I am really sorry.

You arrested the wrong man, a lawyer, and tried to indict him.

The Prosecutor's Office and the Ministry of Justice are furious!

I'm sorry!

As the Chief of Criminal Affairs, how do you plan to fix this?

Fix this?

I'm sure Miura knows what he has to do.

Do you plan to make him resign?

Marukawa.

Excuse us.

What are you doing? Stop!

YAMASHIRO

Everyone, do you have plans today?

-To foster a closer rela-- -I'm heading home.

-How about a drink? -I'm going home.

What?

Let's go for drinks.

Move.

-Mr. Sada! Today… -Be quiet!

-Arbitrary old man. -Copy this.

Mr. Sada, did something happen?

Huh?

-Did you cut your hair? -Oh, yes!

-I did. -When?

-Yesterday. -Did you get dumped?

No. Does it look weird?

I need to ask, girls of your generation, at what age do you have your first love?

About fifteen, I think?

-Do you call each other a lot? -Yes.

-For how long? -The longest one was about five hours.

Mine is only on for two hours, but…

What do you even talk about?

There are lots of topics!

In my era, the act of calling itself was nerve-wracking.

What if her parents pick up, will they hand the phone to her?

Our generation was like that. Right, Togawa?!

-We already had cellphones. -Yeah, right.

She's your cute little daughter, so…

Fujino, those two girls on your desk,

they will get their own phone calls in two or three years.

-They're still kids… -From their boyfriends!

On their cellphones. Twins, right?

-You'll get double the calls! Ring, ring! -No…

-I don't think-- -Shut up!

What are you grinning about?

-What? -You will know once you become a father.

This stress is no joke!

I can't even describe it!

-Have a candy first. -No!

-How about a mint? -No thanks!

Hello?

Huh? You're riled up. Did something happen?

Nothing!

-What? -Sorry, sir. It's nothing.

Very good.

I have a request for you.

I got a phone call from the son of an old friend,

it seems he wants me to come over right away.

Why do you need me?

I'm in Nagoya for a meeting of the Japan Bar Association.

I said I can come over tomorrow morning, but it seems he wants to see me now.

It's the house of Yamashiro Railway's CEO.

-Take care of it. -I understand.

-What is it? -Miyama, Tachibana. Let's go.

-Where? -Just follow me, now!

-The copies, sir? -On my desk.

Okay.

-See you. -Take care.

-I'm off. -See you.

The three of us can go for a drink!

I need to go home to my daughters.

Drinks are meant for times lik--

While they still say they love Papa the most in the world!

I can't even see the house.

What a huge nameplate.

It's the estate of Yamashiro Railway's CEO.

-Of course, it's big. -Yes?

I'm Sada of Madarame Law Firm.

I'm here on behalf of Mr. Madarame!

-Please wait. -Okay.

-Come in. -Excuse us.

Are you having a family gathering?

See for yourself.

What happened?

What a waste.

Eat it.

I won't!

You'll get a stomachache!

This way?

Excuse me…

What is it?

It's my father.

President Zennosuke Yamashiro?

Yes.

By the time I got here, he had already passed away.

Stay there, don't get closer.

It'll cause trouble with the police.

-Will you help us? -Of course.

-Hey! -What are you doing, Miyama?

I told you not to come in!

The police will take everything away. I'm gathering evidence.

That's not normal!

You can't do that!

What's normal for me, is strange to you.

What's normal for you, is strange to me.

-What? -Smile.

-No need to photograph me! -Nice shot.

It isn't! Stop this now.

-Come here. -Stop it!

It'll be bad when the police arrive!

Don't step on the carpet!

What lead to this…

First, tell us your names and relationships.

You again…

I'm Koichi Yamashiro, the eldest son.

-I'm Ikue, his wife. -Keiji, second son.

-I'm Keiji's wife, Masako. -Yoshinori, his son.

Ryuzo, third son.

-This is-- -Sorry!

Please go again, this time slower.

I'm Koichi Yamashiro, the eldest son.

I'm Ikue, Koichi's wife.

I'm Keiji, the second eldest.

I'm Masako, Keiji's wife.

-I'm Yoshinori, Keiji's son. -I'm Ryuzo, the third son.

This is my wife Satsuki.

I…

killed Father.

I tried so hard to care for him.

But I also made lots of mistakes.

-And he was never satisfied. -It hurts!

You can't do anything right!

I'm sorry.

Eventually, I couldn't bear it anymore.

What are you doing?

Stop!

Six years ago, our father had a stroke.

She's been taking care of him all this time.

But she also suffered a lot because of him.

We want you to defend her.

We would like her to turn herself in.

Please save my wife!

She was truly exhausted.

If we had realized sooner…

Satsuki, let's leave this to the lawyers, okay?

Did you strangle him with that?

Yes.

-Miyama, seriously, don't touch that. -I won't!

Stop taking photos too!

What are you…

What are you doing?

What are you doing? You idiot!

It smells like wine.

We will take responsibility and defend you.

We will call the police now.

Please do.

I will accompany you.

Yes, please.

What are you even taking those photos for?

-They're dirty. -Hello?

Police? Yes, I would like…

Stop that, you!

Onto the next news.

President of Yamashiro Railways, Zennosuke Yamashiro, has been murdered.

The wife of Yamashiro's third son,

Satsuki Yamashiro has confessed and been arrested…

-Ai is so cute. -Take care of this.

She looks like my wife.

What're you talking about? She looks like Z'Gok.

Z'Gok…

Don't talk about my wife like she's a Gundam.

Our next story is, Akagi--

-Why did you turn it off? -Yes?

I bet there'll be a massive inheritance war.

Everyone wants control of the Yamashiro Group.

Six years ago, President Yamashiro suffered a stroke,

which paralyzed the right side of his body.

Satsuki was his sole caretaker.

All by herself, huh?

Maybe his disability made him irritable.

President Yamashiro often abused her verbally.

The round-the-clock caregiving took a toll on her mental state,

which led to the crime, it seems.

This is a crime of passion caused by extreme stress due to long-term care.

The process and circumstances that led to the murder

are mitigating circumstances.

-We can aim for a reduced sentence. -Yes!

I will go interview the defendant.

Hey, she already gave a confession.

We already know the truth. No need to investigate.

What is the truth behind this case?

That's… Six years of admirable caregiving led to a tragedy.

What else could there be?

I see.

Then, why did she have to care for him alone with such a big family?

Why did no one help her?

To prove mitigating circumstances, we'll need those facts.

Miyama. Hey, Miyama.

Miyama.

Tachibana, go with him.

-Over here. -Go with him.

-I'm off. -We're well prepared. It's fine…

I married into the family six years ago.

Do you have kids?

No.

I see.

Now, can you tell us the events that led to the crime?

Yes.

First. Why did you care for him by yourself?

Father appointed me directly.

He is quite old-fashioned.

He didn't want his sons to take care of him.

But the other brothers are also married.

Wouldn't it be better to take turns?

The other sisters-in-law were forbidden to help.

The only one allowed to enter Father's room was me.

No one else was allowed to?

-Yes. -Giving care alone…

You must've been through a lot.

No.

I was inadequate…

Father was never satisfied with me.

What is this seasoning?

I spoke to my husband about putting him in a care facility, but…

Sorry. Just bear with it a bit longer.

Which led to the crime.

Yes.

That day, he took a bite and seemed to not like it.

Enough. Take it away.

He flipped the food tray onto me.

I snapped.

A lot of feelings welled up at once.

Wait. He flipped the tray?

Intentionally?

Then, the food on the floor…

-Unforgivable. -That's what bothered you?

What are you doing?

Stop!

What did he have for dinner?

-Is this necessary? -It is.

-Sautéed chicken and-- -Sautéed chicken.

-Salad and bread. And red wine. -Salad…

He took one bite, then flipped all of it?

He did, along with the red wine.

-Even the wine? -Yes.

I truly regret it.

I even killed him with the vermilion necktie he used to wear all the time.

Are you okay?

I feel sick.

I will call the guard.

Japan's criminal court has a conviction rate of 99.9 percent.

Once indicted, a guilty verdict is almost guaranteed.

Still, there are lawyers who, despite such insurmountable odds,

tackle tough cases to uncover the truth hidden in the remaining 0.1 percent.

This is their story.

Mr. Sada.

I'LL BOIL THE SOBA

He's crying.

-Why are you crying? -Why are you here?

-You never threw it away! -Things happened!

-Why are you crying? -Shut up.

-What color do you think this is? -Don't be stupid.

-What color is this? -You mean the cushion or tatami?

-The necktie. -It's orange.

-Right. -It's orange!

Right?

I told you to look for mitigating witnesses!

Do colors even matter here?

The President flipped a tray of food and wine onto Satsuki.

So she snapped.

-So what? -You're still crying.

I'm not.

The murder scene.

Satsuki's clothes.

No wine stains anywhere.

Maybe he drank it all.

So why was the murder weapon, the necktie, wet with wine?

It smells like wine.

Maybe there was a reason the wine only splashed on it.

-A reason? -Some reason!

-What do you think it is? -I don't know!

-Look for it yourself! -I will.

What? Hey, don't start playing it!

Hey! What are you doing?

Don't cry!

I wasn't crying!

-You were. -So annoying…

Excuse me.

I was thinking of visiting her family to find out more.

Yeah, sure.

How's Satsuki doing?

She's very worn out.

What did that family do to her?

Don't marry the wrong boyfriend, you hear?!

Were you crying?

I wasn't.

He's taking Ochiai with him?

Where is he even going?

You know, huh?

Yes or no?

YAMASHIRO

SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING COMPETITION

Kiyo…

Take… tomo?

Not good.

The nue is crying.

They often attack me on the streets.

-The nue? -Yes.

-Mr. Nueno. -It's Fujino!

-Mr. Fujino. -Don't get his name wrong.

I'm usually occupied, but I came all the way here to help you.

You didn't forget our deal, right?

-What deal? -Hey, don't play dumb!

Pictures of Ms. Tachibana!

These, right?

These are from before her haircut!

Hunter chance!

Is that by Yagyu Hiroshi?

No, Hira…

Apologies for being late.

We must apologize for suddenly showing up with all these people.

It's no problem.

For Satsuki, we will do anything.

So…

What do you need today?

Today, we'll speak to each of you individually.

-Individually? -Yes.

Not all of us together?

Human memory is very unreliable.

For example, if we ask the witness of a car crash,

"How did they crash into each other?"

versus, "How did the accident happen?"

The witness' memory of the speed of the crash

can vary up to ten kilometers per hour.

Is that so?

For that reason, to make sure

each of you doesn't get influenced by other people's accounts,

we will talk to you separately.

Okay.

Sorry for the wait.

Let's begin.

First, when the crime happened, where were you?

That day, I was at Nishiazabu from 6:00 p.m.

having dinner with the Japan Business Federation.

Around 8:00 p.m., Keiji called me.

I hurried home.

I was told that Satsuki murdered President Yamashiro around 8:00 p.m.

-Yes. -You weren't home at that time?

-I wasn't. -And when you got home?

Satsuki was holding my father's vermilion necktie.

And just standing there.

-A vermilion necktie, you say? -Yes.

It was kept in a drawer in President Yamashiro's room.

-Am I right? -Yes.

What? How do you know that?

Satsuki said that aside from her, no one could enter the President's room.

I am an exception.

Since my father fell ill, I have been running the company.

I often went and spoke to him for business advice.

I see.

-Can I smoke? -Sure.

Yummy!

-That's good to hear. -Not plain at all.

I was in this room with my son Yoshinori, watching TV.

I am New Japan Pro Wrestling's Rain Maker, Kazuchika Okada.

-It took a while but… -Give me some.

-Congratulations on the new show… -Here you go.

I will be at Osaka-Jo Hall.

We will make it rain money at Osaka-Jo Hall!

Stop!

Then, we heard someone shout "Stop!" from my father's room and ran over.

Satsuki was holding my father's vermilion necktie.

And just standing there, dazed.

Thank you. Mr. Yoshiyuki, come in.

-It's Yoshinari. -Oh, sorry.

Come in.

It's like I'm at an udon restaurant.

That evening…

I was playing the koto in this room.

Stop!

Then you heard the "Stop!"?

Satsuki was holding Father's vermilion necktie,

and just standing there.

-The necktie was vermilion? -Yes.

It was vermilion.

How long have you played the koto?

What?

I was here, practicing golf.

It's quite far from here to the room.

And you still heard him?

-I did, barely. -Barely…

I didn't think such a thing would happen.

Pork…

Rice…

Bowl!

Stop!

I put away my golf club, then headed to the second floor.

After putting away your club?

And Satsuki…

was holding my father's vermilion necktie.

-Just standing there, dazed. -Dazed…

You were in this room, doing ikebana?

Yes.

Stop!

I headed over right away,

and Satsuki was holding Father's vermilion necktie,

just standing there.

I will replay Yoshinari's account.

Yes.

Aunt Satsuki was holding Grandpa's vermilion necktie…

-Wait. -What?

…just standing there.

What are you filming?

-He's not in the frame. -Akashi. The photos…

-I'll delete them! -Wait!

-I ran to Grandpa's room… -Okay, deleted.

-Deleted. -Seriously…

Vermilion…

Now, we will have you reenact the day of the crime.

-Reenact? -Yes.

In detail?

As detailed as you can.

To verify, each of us will be accompanying one of you.

Koichi, you weren't home at the time, so can you play President Yamashiro?

-I understand. -And the role of Satsuki…

-Ms. Housekeeper, you'll do it. -What?

-Okay. -It's a good role. Do your best.

Let's do it.

I allowed Satsuki to marry into a terrible situation.

Since the beginning of her marriage, she often called me crying.

She said they considered her an outsider.

I see.

She graduated from a normal university and worked at a trading company.

Yamashiro Group was one of their clients and that's how she met Ryuzo.

Satsuki was out of her element.

The other brothers and their wives didn't like her at all.

It must have been rough.

I told her maybe it would be better if she got a divorce.

But she…

It was like this.

You two ready?

Yes.

Ochiai, everything's okay!

You ready?

Yes. You can begin anytime.

Fujino is ready.

Are you ready?

-Yes. -Togawa is ready.

Pork…

Rice…

Bowl!

You should go with noodles, not rice!

Mr. Akashi, you ready?

Akashi is also on the scene!

Okay, Koichi. Let's begin.

Ms. Housekeeper, let's begin.

-All right. -Stand up.

-Be more motivated! -Okay.

Once I scream, everyone will repeat what you did the day of the crime.

Stop!

You may begin once I say that.

You heard him, not yet.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Here we go.

Stop!

-Stop! -Let's go.

-Stop! -Okay, let's begin.

-Put the club in. -Stop!

I bumped into this door and then this happened.

-No need to repeat this, idiot! -I see.

He told me to reenact it precisely.

How does this help…

Enough, let's hurry.

Calm down!

Are you Nagisa Katahira?

Until everyone arrives, you must stay like that.

Absolutely don't move.

-I understand. -Yeah.

It's all right, calm down.

What? So well-mannered!

Okay, let's go. Don't close it on me!

-Woah! -Ouch!

Why did we come in from this side?!

Hey, let's go…

You're eating them.

What's this?

We're here.

I don't know if you're well-mannered or sloppy.

My leg hurts.

Do your best! Ryuzo!

-Alright. -Ow! What are these?

-Peanuts. -What?

The peanuts hurt!

It hurts.

Up, up! Go, go!

Why are you falling down? Really?

It hurts!

Go, go!

Goal!

One minute and twenty seconds.

On the day, all of you arrived at the scene exactly like this?

Are you certain?

What do you think?

Of what?

After arriving in this room,

why did none of you approach the President or try to call for help?

Keiji, Yoshinori.

You got here first.

But none of you called out.

-I was in shock. -Me too.

Ikue and Masako?

From that distance, did you realize the President was dead?

-Yes. -Yes.

I could tell instantly.

Me too.

But you did nothing.

Is that so?

I understand.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Satsuki…

was holding my father's vermilion necktie. Just standing there, dazed.

Satsuki was holding my father's vermilion necktie.

And just standing there.

Satsuki was holding my father's vermilion necktie.

And just standing there, dazed.

Aunt Satsuki was holding Grandpa's vermilion necktie…

just standing there.

Satsuki was holding Father's vermilion necktie,

just standing there.

Satsuki was holding Father's vermilionnecktie,

just standing there.

All of them mentioned a vermilion necktie.

Yeah.

Would you call that vermilion? It's orange, right?

It took one minute and twenty seconds for everyone to arrive.

All of them said,

"Satsuki was holding a vermilion necktie, just standing there."

Your reenactment, was it really that accurate?

I mean…

if you arrive first to a murder, you would call out, right?

Yes. But none of them did that.

-So, you got anything? -Oh, right.

President Yamashiro wasn't the only one hostile towards Satsuki.

The entire family was singling her out.

Satsuki's mother testified to that.

She didn't fit in anywhere in that family.

And…

Satsuki…

is pregnant.

She…

is pregnant, it seems.

That's news to me.

I don't think she told anyone.

-She wanted a divorce, after all. -I see.

Wonder what she'll do.

I think it's time we enlist that person's help.

So my dad isn't a special case?

No, not at all!

My father, too.

When I got my first boyfriend, he secretly cried.

Really?

-My dad was also strict. -Yours too, Mom?

-Yes. -I can relate!

Fathers are all the same.

When it comes to things like this, they all get flustered!

Yeah!

When I tell him we went to prom together, he'll be so shocked.

He will freak out!

Tachibana, what are you doing?

Hello, sir!

I'll go take a bath.

Sorry for the sudden visit.

-Next time, call me first before coming! -Yes.

That tone!

Don't speak to a woman like that!

I'm her boss!

You are abusing your power.

I hate that!

Abusing my power? You…

The heck…

-What do you want? -Please look at this.

-Right now? -Now.

-Can't it wait until tomorrow? -It can't. Sorry!

-Please. -First her, then you…

TOKAI TEIO

Go, go!

Goal!

-They all provided the same testimony. -Yes.

-And you made them reenact them. -Yes.

What do you think?

This is weird.

Okay. Tomorrow, I will go see Satsuki.

Thank you.

-Right, Tachibana. -Yes?

My daughter mentioned a "prom." What is that?

Mr. Sada.

I'll see you tomorrow!

Yeah. See you.

Excuse me.

What's with that smile?

It's the first time you've come over here.

You wrongly arrested my lawyer.

-But you didn't even apologize. -No…

Well, about that case…

I must apologize.

Sorry.

-You know prosecutors can't make mistakes. -Yeah.

That prosecutor voluntarily quit.

We are also human.

We make mistakes.

Your mistakes ruin lives, sometimes beyond repair.

"Even if you must let ten criminals walk free,

you must never punish an innocent man."

That is the basis of criminal law.

In reality, public sentiment would be fine with punishing an innocent man,

if it means we catch ten criminals.

I understand the justice the public wants and humbly do what I can.

Justice, huh?

I think you also have your own budding justice.

The top law firm in Japan, opening a Criminal Case Room.

Mine isn't justice.

It's faith.

"No one gets punished wrongly."

I don't want to pick a fight with you right now.

Hey.

You are aiming to become Chairman of the Bar Association, right?

We should both get along.

You never change.

Yeah. I would love to drink good sake with you sometime.

-Thank you for having me. -Yeah.

PROSECUTOR IN CHARGE

I found something interesting.

What is it?

The family's testimonies all matched perfectly.

The necktie used to kill, normally one would say it's orange.

But everyone, including you, called it "a vermilion necktie."

Why is that?

That necktie was Father's favorite.

He called it his vermilion necktie.

-Does everyone know that? -Well…

Sorry, I also watched the videos.

It's usually impossible for so many testimonies to match perfectly.

Your husband was the last one

to arrive at the bedroom, the murder scene.

But his testimony was exactly the same as the first one to arrive.

With so many people, seeing their father strangled,

normally they would call an ambulance, or attempt CPR.

But no one did anything.

I can't help but think all of you are hiding something.

The entire family was hostile to you, right?

Are they threatening you to take the blame?

No!

Satsuki.

You're pregnant, right?

Be honest, for your unborn child's sake.

You must get out of here.

If you tell us honestly, we can help you--

I did it!

There's nothing else to say.

What's that for?

What a waste of our best horse.

You mean me?

Who is she covering for?

All right.

-Let's find the real culprit! -What?

I'm not like you.

I'm doing this my way and prioritizing our client's best interests!

If she keeps lying like this, it'll only hurt her.

So we must reveal the truth.

My methods are different from yours!

You're very stubborn.

Listen up.

We will thoroughly investigate everyone in the Yamashiro family!

-Okay! -Listen up.

We will thoroughly investigate everyone in the Yamashiro family!

-Stop that. -Don't imitate me.

"Stop that."

-I won't stop. -Why are you like this?

Just stop.

Stop that, boys.

I like that.

What are you on about…

Good afternoon.

Thank you for the other day.

-Good afternoon. -Sorry.

Can we ask you something?

Okay.

-The President? -Yes.

He was at a restaurant in Nishiazabu from 6:00 p.m. that day.

having dinner with the Japan Business Federation.

I drove him to the restaurant,

but he didn't know when the dinner would end.

He told me that he would go home by taxi.

So I drove back.

I see. Don't touch that.

He's smiling.

That day, I made dinner and left the estate at 6:00 p.m.

Aside from Koichi, everyone was home.

Satisfied now?

If they find me like this, they'll scold me.

Sorry.

Thank you for your time.

Wrap, wrap, strangle.

-Harder on the left. -The left?

-It feels wrong. -It does.

I see.

In the autopsy report,

it says that the culprit is likely left-handed.

Yes, thank you.

Hey. I asked her mother and Satsuki is definitely left-handed.

I see.

Welcome back.

Miyama.

-Hey. -Huh?

-They seem to be having fun. -Yeah.

-Koichi. -Yes?

You know he was at a business dinner the night of the murder…

-Night of the murder… -Why are you laughing?

-Wait. -He's breathing hard.

The Business Federation dinner.

A few companies I consult for were also present at the dinner.

-Okay. -At those dinners, occasionally…

-You're creeping me out. -Sorry. Wait.

At the end of those dinners, they take a commemorative photo.

Look at it.

It just clicked!

The mystery…

fell into place.

I didn't fall on my face.

Mine was on par with what you usually say.

Mine was even a bit better…

Him and her must have…

a tight relationship.

Tight…

I can't beat you.

I don't understand their humor.

-They're just good friends. -Tight relationship.

YAMASHIRO

Thank you for sparing us the time, I know you must be busy.

Is Satsuki's case going well?

Of course.

Miyama.

We can do better than a reduced sentence.

We can prove her innocence.

What do you mean?

Satsuki is covering for someone.

The real culprit…

is one of you.

First, look at this.

This is the autopsy report.

According to the autopsy, it's likely the culprit was left-handed.

Satsuki is left-handed, isn't she?

What is so strange?

Satsuki is indeed left-handed.

But someone else here is left-handed too, right?

Koichi.

It's you.

It's true that I'm left-handed.

So that makes me the killer now?

That day, I got a call at 8:00 p.m. from Keiji and then came home.

True.

At the time of the murder, you weren't home.

I already told you that.

I was at Nishiazabu, having dinner with the JBF.

I consult for quite a few companies in that Federation.

And someone I knew was at the same dinner you went to.

Halfway through the dinner, you said you had urgent business and left.

So the commemorative photo was pushed up early,

so you could be in it before leaving.

The photo's metadata shows when it was taken.

At 7:02 p.m.

Meaning, if you hurried, it was possible for you to be home by 8:00 p.m.

You are being rude.

I will take you off Satsuki's case.

Is that so?

But before that, can you look at this?

This is the magnified dinner photo.

And this is the photo taken when I first visited this house.

Your suit and necktie

are different in each.

You said you got a call saying Satsuki killed President Yamashiro.

So you hurried home.

So why did you bother to change suits?

There was a reason you had to change suits.

Satsuki said that President Yamashiro flipped food and wine on her,

which is why she snapped.

But…

on the room's carpet and even on Satsuki's clothes,

there were no notable wine stains.

But…

from the necktie used to kill, we found traces of wine.

The one President Yamashiro splashed wine on…

was you.

He splashed wine on you, which moved you to kill him.

You killed him with the necktie you were wearing.

And to hide that, you had to change suits.

Am I wrong?

Father, I secured a deal with the Trans-Bus Group.

I told you to call me President.

With someone like you as the heir, Yamashiro Railways is already finished.

What are you doing? Stop!

Stop!

-It was that woman's idea! -Shut up, Masako!

She said she would take the blame!

Stop!

Stop!

Father.

Father!

Father!

He's dead.

Why did you do this?

I will…

take the blame.

Let’s just say the long years of caregiving wore me out.

When he threw food on me, I snapped.

The punishment will be lighter.

Satsuki!

If I have to suffer a little to protect this family,

then I'll be the scapegoat.

This necktie, Father gave it to you, right, Koichi?

-Yeah. -Then we'll keep that a secret.

And pretend that it is still his.

Then when I say I killed him with this, it will make sense.

Let her do this! For the Yamashiro Group!

Call a lawyer before the police arrive!

I'll do my best to defend you, okay?

-Okay? -We must match our stories!

We all heard a scream, then ran here.

And we saw Satsuki holding that orange necktie, just standing there.

It isn't orange. It's vermilion.

-Vermilion? -Father loved this necktie a lot.

And he always called it vermilion.

-Vermilion. -Vermilion.

-Vermilion. -Vermilion.

Then we'll say she was holding a vermilion necktie!

Koichi was never here!

You must get changed now!

I'll prepare a suit for you!

You treated her like trash, then tried to make her a murderer.

-Now you're making excuses… -No!

Stop it.

I killed Father.

That much is correct.

No matter how much he developed the company,

Koichi Yamashiro was never recognized by his own father.

So he held a grudge, which only got worse as the years went on.

I see.

President Yamashiro was your close friend, so I tried my best to be nice to them.

Don't lie.

You did great. Thank you.

Excuse me.

WE'VE GOT TV AND CABLE NOW!

Man, this is great.

The arbitrary old man couldn't come, but we finally got to drink together.

Sorry you all had to come to Nogata.

Hey, don't you diss Nogata!

-You Iogi punk. -What?

Iogi is where Amuro Ray and Matilda Ajan were born.

-It was Kami-Igusa. -Back then it was called Iogi!

What're you talking about.

-You slapped me! Not even my father hit-- -Shut it.

Let me finish saying it!

"The tragic heroine."

It must have been tough for Satsuki.

-It's true. -It was tough for us too.

"It must have been tough for her."

Sorry!

-Ayano! -The match dragged on.

-Ayano. Just got back from Jo Hall? -Yeah.

-We have a pro wrestler here. -Really?!

That's amazing!

There he is.

Oh, it's just a Noah one…

What?

Well, fine.

-Sorry. -Yes?

-Yone, right? -Yes.

-Can I take a photo? -Yeah.

Thank you! Yay!

Hey, Bando!

-Take a photo for me. -Oh, me?

Sure.

Oh!

Are you a New Japan fan?

Oh, no…

-I like all pro wrestlers! -All?

-Everyone! -You're lying.

-That's obviously a lie. -No it isn't!

Oh? What's going on?

Jado!

-Seems she wants a photo. -Sure!

-May I? -She's real excited.

-I'm so happy. -Okay, I'm taking it.

They're all in frame.

-Welcome. -Come here!

Toru Yano!

-Wow! -What's wrong?

"It must have been rough for her."

"It must have been rough for her."

Hold that pose. Okay.

So many pictures!

She took the blame for the murder.

"The tragic heroine."

-Since we're already here… -Thank you!

-Have a seat. -Excuse me!

She volunteered to take the blame.

I will take the blame.

Hiroto.

Want me to cook for you?

Kanako, what can you make?

Fried eggs.

That's not cooking. Can you cook, Ayano?

-I can. -What's your best dish?

-Rolled egg omelets. -That isn't cooking!

What?

Rolled eggs…

You girls are on the same level when it comes to cooking.

No, we're not!

She's scary when she's mad.

Why?

Why?

It's coming.

MIYAMA'S OCTOPUS AND ZUCCHINI SUMMER AJILLO

Yummy!

M-My shirt!

This is why I hate wine-loving girls!

What did you say?!

You can't wash wine off a shirt!

It'll leave a stain!

This is my best shirt!

He did, along with the red wine.

-What stain! -Are you kidding?

Wine!

-Five points. -Three.

You're so cute!

It's fun to stay at the Y-M-Stain

-That's a first. -Leaving already?

Spot you later.

Thank you so much.

I'm happy for you.

Why did you not tell us the truth from the start?

Koichi is the family heir, he has a duty to protect the company.

If I take the fall, the family will be safe.

And with a suspended sentence, I thought I could live on somewhat freely.

I was foolish.

I will work as hard as I can to repay the lawyer fees.

-Thank you so mu-- -You don't need to work to pay them.

-What? -The lawyer fees.

What are you saying?

You said he flipped the food on you along with the wine.

But, there were no stains on the carpet or your clothes.

I couldn't get it out of my mind.

Your true goal was to point our suspicions

towards the Yamashiros.

You pretended to take the fall and waited for us to find the truth.

You mentioned the red wine as a hint.

All of it was to get President Yamashiro's inheritance.

Inheritance?

Satsuki never had any claim to the inheritance!

You don't have any claim, yes.

The ones with any claim are the three brothers

and Yoshinori, Keiji's son.

But, Koichi, the eldest son, committed murder, so he lost his claim.

Keiji, Ryuzo, Yoshinori, for trying to cover up a crime,

will also lose their legal claim.

But…

There is one person left who can inherit.

-Your baby. -Inheritance per stirpes.

Article 886 of Civil Law,

in terms of inheritance, an unborn baby is considered already born.

Satsuki, you wanted to deprive the entire family's right to succession…

You said you would take the blame.

But you actually destroyed their inheritance rights.

And…

Now, President Yamashiro's entire estate

will belong to your child.

I will take the blame.

What are you talking about?

You don't have any proof, right?

You're right.

I have no proof.

Thank you for everything.

Take care of yourself.

Good work.

Thank you.

She got you.

She did.

Legally, it's difficult to punish her.

I only wanted to know the truth.

Besides, only she knows if that was her real goal or not.

Only she knows, huh?

IN MEMORIAM

Did Miyama really do it?

I don't think he did.

He's innocent.

I see.

If you had been there…

Can I ask you one thing?

-Of course. -Oh, two things.

Go ahead.

Why did you hire me?

Half of it is your talent as a lawyer.

The other half is…

I wonder.

My talent only makes up half, huh?

I thought it'd be a bit more.

Your other question?

Your brows. Why do you do that?

It's a habit.

Normally, people use their index or middle finger for that.

Do you notice such small things?

You've had that habit for years.

Here. See you.

For years?

PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE

Come in.

-Excuse me. -Yeah.

The prosecutor in charge of Miyama's father's case…

was you, right?

So what?

Come in.

The two murder cases in Koto City were due to their similar methods,

considered to have been committed by a single culprit.

But this afternoon, Yoichi Ishikawa was arrested on suspicion of murder.

Police found hair and blood at the crime scene,

which led to his arrest.
