Original subtitles

During high school,

your mom remarried...

with a bureaucrat in the Ministry of Justice.

Records for everything after that can be found.

However, the records before then...

disappeared.

Your step dad did something in the Ministry of Justice...

so that no one can check your background.

You...

have a shady past.

(Year 1994)

I'm sorry.

I really can't go.

What a shame.

I really wanted to go with you.

This world is full of hope.

I've had enough of this.

Dad?

I want to save as many people as possible.

I'll wait for you on the other side of the world.

(Present)

It turns out...

that you have good skills.

That's all for today.

She's incredible.

She must be a special recruit from the Ministry of Justice.

Why is she here?

Spar with me too.

Izawa, the police station's reputation is on the line.

Go.

Izawa.

Wait.

It hurts.

What are you doing, Izawa?

That was too easy.

Why don't you show me what you've got?

Is that so?

I won't go easy on you then.

Incredible.

Why are you learning fighting techniques?

It's okay to tell me, right?

Exercise allows me to forget many things.

I like being focused.

I see.

You have a past you want to forget indeed.

That's all for today.

So nice.

So nice. You're incredible, Yoshioka.

Did something happen to your back?

If it aches, it's better to eat chicken wings or soft bones.

Let's eat chicken wings tonight.

Actually, it's not backache.

I was thrown around during training.

Was it Izawa?

She's a scary and strong woman.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

You're not good at dealing with that kind of woman.

Don't say that while looking at me.

This is already the 33rd time.

- Odagiri... - Don't write it down.

I'll count this one too.

So who was it?

The surprise is just around the corner.

I'm getting closer and closer, look.

She's strong not only in presence.

Let's start the meeting.

The dangerous person we're going to investigate is...

Sugihara Kayo, 63 years old.

She belongs to the organization, Peace of Mind,

which counsels people who are contemplating suicide.

For the past 10 years,

she has saved many lives.

So a job like this exists.

Based on the CA's investigation results,

records show that she bought a taser gun.

And she carefully investigated...

on how to pretend to go missing.

We just don't know who she wants to kill.

Please look over here.

She has a tainted past.

She is the family of a victim...

for the indiscriminate killing in Omoriyama...

10 years ago.

The killer was Kawakubo Atsuya.

He was 23 years old back then and unemployed.

Since he was dissatisfied with society,

he used a metal bat to beat...

the customers at the commercial street indiscriminately.

There were many victims with minor injuries.

Five died.

One of them was her husband.

She doesn't have kids.

No close relatives either.

She burned their house after the incident.

She bought an old house...

and turned it into a shared house with a very cheap rent...

for people with various problems.

A victim's family member who clearly knows the pain of crime...

and saves people's lives.

Is she aiming at somebody's life now?

It's fine.

I'm fine now too.

Okay.

- Ms. Sugihara. - Yes.

They'll be working with us starting today.

Hara and Ento.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

You two look very manly.

But your smile feels very fake.

You too.

I'm sorry, you don't want an old lady to comment on you, right?

It's fine, people always comment on him.

Ms. Sugihara, can I give you a task this afternoon?

- It's a grandpa who lives alone. - All right.

- You can use those tables. - Okay, thank you.

She's not what I expected.

She's very lively.

I'll go over later.

I'll be an old man who's isolated by his family and lives alone.

It's not necessary for you to participate, Kagami.

But my disguise...

It's better to hack into Sugihara Kayo's phone.

Compared to hacking,

my disguise is more suitable, right?

I don't think so.

- I'm suitable. - Not really.

I hate you!

- Sugihara. - Yes.

I'm sorry, I overheard your phone call earlier.

It's about the Omoriyama incident, right?

It's fine, I'm fine now too.

That's my technique.

When I feel like dying, I'll say,

"My husband died because of that incident."

Don't think too darkly of it.

It's troublesome to hear those comments from me, right?

It was a painful incident.

That morning,

before he went to work,

we fought because of a minor thing.

It's about where to go for our anniversary trip.

I wanted to go to Hokkaido, but he wanted to go to Okinawa.

But then,

before he died,

he had already booked a trip...

to Hokkaido...

at the travel agency.

Then the incident happened.

He saved a lady...

who was almost attacked.

But...

after doing this job...

and listening to people...

Were you saved by saving people?

It seems you have a hidden story too.

Sugihara Kayo's computer...

has many photos with a certain girl.

It's like a mother and daughter photo.

But she has no kids.

What about you, Odagiri?

We're going into the shared house now.

What happened to you?

Our families objected to our marriage.

That's why we ran away.

That's hard.

But we really love each other.

That's good.

Stop it!

Why are you doing an Aomori accent?

To make people believe us, it's more effective to use an accent.

Remember that.

- What on earth? - You two, over here.

What is it?

This is your room.

This wall is very thin.

Be careful if you're doing it.

That one.

My goodness! Keep quiet.

Please don't mind him.

My goodness! Be quiet!

It's so chaotic.

- Does the landlady have any family? - No.

But there's someone who is like a daughter to her.

Like a daughter?

It's someone Ms. Sugihara saved.

Sato Nana.

But she moved out three months ago.

Sato Nana stayed in the shared house for a long time indeed.

But she changed her name before.

Her name used to be Kawakubo Emi.

Kawakubo?

How shocking.

Regarding the Omoriyama indiscriminate killing incident...

10 years ago,

Sato Nana is...

Kawakubo Atsuya's younger sister.

The victim's family member is with the killer's family member.

(Sato Nana)

(Absolute Zero)

(CA Investigation, Episode 4)

See you tomorrow.

Bye, miss.

Okay, bye.

See you.

When Sato was 15 years old,

her brother committed the indiscriminate killing incident.

People should have had serious hate...

towards the killer's family.

In 2004,

Japan established the Basic Law on Victims of Crime,

but until now, there's no law...

to protect the perpetrator's family.

The perpetrator is already being protected in prison...

to a certain extent.

Yet his family members are the ones...

being hated on outside.

Some family members of perpetrators for serious crimes...

chose to commit suicide.

I'm home.

- Welcome home. - Welcome home.

Let's put them all inside.

Are you the new tenants?

Yes, nice to meet you.

Okay.

You're from Aoyama, right?

Yes, it's hard to make a living in a small place.

You look good together.

Let me know if you need anything.

Okay.

- Thank you. - You can do this.

Three months ago,

it seems Sugihara Kayo and Sato Nana...

argued many times.

Then Sato Nana moved out.

I've kept you waiting.

- You're working hard. - I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

A man came to pick her up.

I know him.

He's Kaji Tomoaki, an elite consultant.

A member of the perpetrator support group,

Move On to The Future.

He provides counselling on perpetrator-related problems.

He's quite well-known in this field.

He seems to be Sato Nana's fiancé.

Sugihara Kayo was the one...

who introduced her to this support group.

Sugihara has always supported Sato Nana.

They're family members of the victim and the perpetrator.

But why are they fighting now?

Not bad. All right.

Then put radish.

- And stew them. - We stew them?

And chikuwa.

Chikuwa?

Hey, stop.

Are you all right?

He was running towards the direction of Tentsu from the second block.

Kagami.

- There's no CCTV in the area. - Darn it.

Who exactly was that?

Maybe someone who slandered her.

So,

Kawakubo...

wants to publish his diary while he's in prison.

And receive attention.

His sister is having a hard time too.

This is cyber bullying.

Anyway,

Sugihara Kayo and Sato Nana has a deep relationship.

First, let's check the people around her.

I'll do that.

The leader of the of Move On to The Future...

is my boss at the Ministry of Justice.

I'll use the interview with Kaji Tomoaki as the reason...

and invite Sato too.

Then I'll try to fish information from them.

How aggressive.

- Glasses, you're also surprised. - I'm Kitami.

I'll go with you then.

I can't let someone from a different field handle it.

Kosaka and Izama...

are a good team.

We should coordinate well.

Am I right, Kosaka?

I'm Hayashida from the Ministry of Justice Promotion Department.

- I'm Yamasaki. Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

I can understand why you want to interview Kaji Tomoaki,

but why invite Sato Nana too?

We can't disclose that at the moment.

I knew it.

Is this how Kosaka acts ever since?

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

Thank you for taking the time to come here.

In Japan...

I'm sorry, I'm late.

We can use these as promotional materials.

Can we take some photos of Mr. Kaji?

- I didn't hear about this. - That makes it exciting.

Please start.

All right, let's start.

In Japan,

experiences of perpetrator family members aren't widely known.

Support groups must be uncommon too.

That's why I want to expand this...

in Europe and North America,

to show that it's not strange for family members of perpetrators...

to accept interviews or answer questions.

I heard...

that the mom of a mass shooter...

received encouragement from different parts of the US.

That's unimaginable in Japan.

Family members of perpetrators...

need to face these problems all their lives.

I'll also become her family too.

Can we ask Nana some questions?

Sure.

I think you know the pain of being a perpetrator family member...

more than anyone else.

If you don't mind,

can you tell us...

what happened after the incident?

You may disclose anything you want.

I was practising at the Badminton Club after class.

My teacher mentioned...

about the serious crime my brother committed.

After I went back home,

many members of the media came.

And our phone kept ringing at home.

- Hello. - The killer's family members...

are also criminals.

Die to atone for your sins.

Our photos and address...

were posted online.

(The Murderer's House)

I was also scared to go out.

My dad also resigned...

since he couldn't work there anymore.

The media kept chasing after us no matter where we went.

He kept being bullied.

We're not allowed to live happily.

I also felt I deserved it.

My brother killed people.

He was right beside me, but I didn't notice.

I couldn't stop him.

One year after the incident,

sukiyaki was served on the dinner table.

I know clearly that we're going to die after that.

Actually, I felt relieved.

I can finally die.

I felt so happy that I cried.

However...

When they found us, I was the only one who survived.

Well...

I heard your brother wants to publish a book while in prison.

Because of that,

the slander that has already stopped started again.

Not only that,

someone tried to physically harm her.

A man in his 20s.

If this continues, my work will also...

It's going to be fine.

Leave it to me.

I'll convince my brother not to publish it.

Mr. Kaji supports you.

Aside from him, you have the life counsellor.

She's the family member of a victim, right?

I can understand why she wants...

to keep her distance from Sugihara Kayo.

After all, she feels guilty in their relationship.

It must have been hard.

Ms. Sugihara must be aware of that too.

Even so,

she couldn't just leave her alone.

This is Yamauchi.

Sugihara Kayo has arrived at the support group.

She's inside now.

It seems Sugihara Kayo and Sato Nana...

argued many times.

I'm sorry.

I need to make a phone call.

Excuse me.

Why...

I asked her to come here.

We also want to interview her.

Kosaka is surprisingly good.

She intended for the two of them to meet.

Wouldn't there be a problem?

Well,

can we let her reveal her intention to kill?

Nana, listen to me.

Nana,

you'll see if you wait for awhile.

The person who's putting pressure on you...

That's enough.

Actually, you must really hate me.

Of course.

I hate you a lot.

From the time I received your phone call.

What did you say?

My brother...

committed the incident...

in Omoriyama.

I'll die to atone for his crime.

Nana.

I'm sorry.

My brother...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

But,

I think we're the same.

We both don't know how to live moving forward.

It's the same regardless if you're a family of the victim...

or the perpetrator.

- Why? - I'm a life counsellor.

Someone says she wants to die.

How can I ignore that?

Hurry up and eat.

It's delicious.

I didn't save you.

It was you...

who saved me.

Nana.

I want to make a new family.

Goodbye.

Sugihara wanted to tell her who's pressuring her.

Not only the slanders online,

even the one who tried to physically harm her.

It's a man in his 20s indeed.

The one who rode the scooter and escaped.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Come.

Let's go.

Did you hear about...

what happened yesterday?

Are you really all right?

I don't know how to interact with her anymore.

An anonymous phone call mentioned you.

News about you was also posted...

in the online section for parents.

The parents has started...

becoming unwilling to entrust their kids to us.

I'm really sorry, but...

I'm sorry.

The school found out...

about Sato Nana's identity.

It might be committed by the person who's pressuring her.

Sugihara Kayo must be planing...

to save Sato from that person.

Why is this happening?

Why is she so against that?

We must investigate clearly.

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Good morning, sir.

Is Sugihara not coming to work today?

Actually, she suddenly called and said she wants to change her shift.

She never did that before.

What's happening on your side, Odagiri?

Sugihara Kayo just left her house.

Kosaka is following her.

Change of plans.

What?

Kagami and I...

are in the home of the scooter guy.

We just found out who he is.

He's a college student who lives in the Ozawa District.

You should be following Sugihara, right?

Indeed.

We must also find Sugihara's target soon...

so that she won't become a killer.

He's coming out.

She hired me for her defence.

Throwing eggs is a crime of violence.

Pushing her down the stairs...

is considered assault.

Stairs?

I don't know anything about that.

On November 14,

Sato was pushed down the stairs...

at the train station and almost fell down.

That day,

I was at Izu for a trip.

Can you prove that?

He might be speaking the truth.

I found comments from others.

The day Sato was pushed,

there was a comment about a punishment from heaven.

There's more than one person who wants to harm her?

Did this lady come to see you?

Yes.

Why did she come?

She asked me why I attacked that girl.

I found out about that girl's identity online,

of course.

Locate Sugihara now.

I don't know.

She turned off her phone.

Kosaka, why did you work on your own?

We're a team.

Kagami.

Can you locate Sugihara through CCTV?

Okay, I'm doing that now.

Thank you.

She found the college student before being detected.

She must have met the one who pushed her down the stairs too.

How did she find out?

I'm afraid she went to a private investigation agency.

Kagami.

You want the one who pushed her down the stairs, right?

It's a really busy day today.

We must stop Sugihara Kayo.

(Attention! The criminal's sister has been punished! Serves her right)

This is proof of your comment.

I just happened...

to bump into her while passing by.

Just "passing by"?

Did this lady come to find you?

About a week ago.

What did she say?

She asked me if I couldn't forgive Sato Nana...

because I received direct messages on social media.

There are a lot.

All under the same name.

(Justice Whistleblower)

People who hurt Sato Nana...

might have been brainwashed...

through direct messages on social media.

Someone who believes that Sato Nana needs to be punished.

That's Sugihara Kayo's target.

(Account: Justice Whistleblower)

(Justice Whistleblower IP Address)

Who exactly is it?

He laughed.

It seems he's happy in seeing Sato in pain.

Who are you talking about?

She's the family member of a victim, right?

Kaji Tomoaki.

Did he set all this up?

He's her fiancé.

How is this beneficial to him?

Compliment and sympathy.

Munchausen Syndrome.

Hurting oneself in order to get sympathy from others.

Portraying the main lead of a tragedy.

But he's worse.

He's not hurting himself,

but others.

It's Munchausen Syndrome by proxy.

There was a case when a mom intentionally made a child sick...

so that she can portray the role of a loving mom.

In marrying the family member of a perpetrator,

Kaji is portraying a sacrificial personality.

And will receive compliment and sympathy from others.

Publishing your diary...

is also a meaningful contribution to society.

It's going to be fine, leave it to me.

Sato Nana's being controlled emotionally.

That's why she's not receptive to Sugihara's words.

She thought Sugihara is blaming Kaji.

I found proof.

The person who's direct messaging others...

and inciting them to slander Sato must be Kaji.

Sugihara found out.

She wants to show Kaji proof.

If he won't admit it...

She would cross that line.

I didn't plan to hide it.

My fiancée...

is the family member of the perpetrator...

for the Omoriyama indiscriminate killing incident.

Online slander is the biggest problem of the perpetrator's family.

Inciting others online...

is a very despicable behaviour.

I've already prepared myself to face this problem.

In becoming the family member of a perpetrator,

I will also be hated upon.

Ms. Sugihara.

I have a boyfriend now.

Someone I met...

in the support group you recommended.

It doesn't matter what happens to me.

However...

I can't forgive the fact...

that her future would be destroyed.

Kaji, this is a bit hard.

This would definitely sell.

Kawakubo's diary.

No problem, leave it to me.

Please look over here.

Please also look over here.

Okay.

I know what you're doing.

How troublesome.

How many times should I tell you?

You've misunderstood everything.

I already found the one who's slandering her online.

And I have proof.

You're the one who's harming Nana.

Do you plan to force her to commit suicide too?

Disappear from Nana's life immediately.

Go away!

Stop.

You're the one who should disappear, Ms. Sugihara.

Mr. Kaji isn't wrong.

Why don't you get it?

That guy is the one pressuring you.

Look, I have evidence.

It's okay.

That's fine.

Because,

I won't ever meet another person...

who's willing to marry me in this lifetime.

That's how things are.

Please disappear from our sight.

Come on, let's go.

You're...

It seems I'm being investigated everywhere.

I can't forgive...

someone like you.

Please don't do this.

- Please don't do this. - It's okay...

All right.

I'll just break off our engagement.

- What? - I don't want any more trouble.

Why?

Goodbye,

killer's sister.

Let go of me.

Let go of me!

It hurts.

It hurts!

It hurts...

Blinded by anger.

Kosaka, you hate that too?

Who are you?

If you do this to me,

my supporters might...

You're too noisy.

How are things on your side, Kagami?

It started, very hot.

I posted...

who you really are online.

(Kaji Tomoaki's interview are all lies.)

(Look carefully at his face, it's full of hidden stories.)

(What? Justice Whistleblower?)

(I've supported Tomoaki for so long.)

(His credibility suddenly plunged to 0)

I would definitely...

not let you hurt the family members of perpetrators again.

Come on.

Stand up.

Let's eat something delicious.

But...

Come on.

I'm a life counsellor.

How can I desert you?

(Memorial Tablet)

Please move away.

I'm here at the scene.

A man seemingly in his 40s...

released nerve gas inside.

There are over 10 people who seem to be hurt.

(Memorial Tablet)

Why is the CA Department...

full of people with hidden stories?

When you were in the Ministry of Justice,

you were very passionate towards the victims' families.

I heard that from Yamauchi.

That's why you went to work in the Ministry of Justice, right?

26 years ago,

in this movie theatre,

a man with a mental disease...

released nerve gas.

You're the perpetrator's daughter.

I suddenly received a call from my dad.

I want to save as many people as possible.

Later, I found out that he was in the movie theatre.

But when I got here,

this place has already turned to hell.

My step dad...

wanted to hide the fact that I'm the perpetrator's daughter.

That's why he did something to my records.

I didn't receive the punishment I deserve.

I escaped it just like that.

That's why you spoke quietly.

When they found us, I was the only one who survived.

And said you're sorry.

I don't know what you know...

about the incident that killed my wife and daughter.

But...

I've decided to trust you.

Like me,

you want...

to prevent crimes.

That's all I have to know.

CA prevention...

is being ignored indeed.

Would it be better if I return to the Ministry of Justice first?

You're right.

I'm sorry about that.

- Morning. - Morning.

I thought you need Izawa.

What do you mean?

Exactly what I said.

- Morning. - Morning.

Morning.

Morning.

Kitami went back to the Ministry of Justice...

in order to promote the legalization of CA.

I quite liked him.

Are you being sarcastic?

I also want to leave this place sooner.

By the way, Kosaka.

Please also spar with me next time.

She's really strong.

If you don't pay attention, you might get thrown around.

What are you talking about?

Let's start our meeting.

The dangerous person we're going to investigate this time...

(Year 1994)

The target is the previous prime minister.

You did it, right?

It's a trap of the digital society.

You think you can escape?

The end.

Are you mad...

about the unresolved incident regarding CA?

I came here to catch you.

I thought you were an assistant.

Now, your position has changed.

I was obviously done by a professional.

Which side are you on, Kosaka?

I...

No one was detected in the records.
