OWNER OF CAFÉ MASTERPIECE KOHEI MOCHIZUKI

THE WIFE OF KOHEI MARINA MOCHIZUKI

What's wrong?

Nothing.

- Let's eat. - Okay.

Drink the soup before it gets cold.

Okay.

How is it?

Delicious.

Glad to hear it.

Do you notice something different about me?

Huh?

I changed my nails.

Looks good.

They look good.

Here you go.

Make sure you put your shoes away, okay?

Sorry.

Oh, by the way.

About that loan I've been looking into,

it seems the bank won't lend to me. Can you help me out?

Would it be okay?

You can't trust me?

That's not it at all.

I'm just worried about you, Kohei.

- I told you, it's fine. - Let's talk it out a bit more.

Fine...

- Will you be late tonight? - I don't need dinner.

I'll be late, so don't wait up.

No, I'll wait for you.

Have a good day.

I'll be home early, so let's take a bath together.

THE MOCHIZUKI'S NEIGHBOR YUKI KUJIRAI

YUKI'S HUSBAND KAZUKI KUJIRAI

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Have a good day.

See you later.

INTERNAL MEDICINE

Today's dessert is a blueberry tart with raspberry compote.

The compote pairs better with the cream pasta,

so please recommend it to the customers.

Let's all make today a good one.

Have a good day, everyone.

Sorry for the wait.

Your necktie is really stylish, Boss.

Really?

Did your wife pick it out for you again?

She really has a great sense of style.

Thanks.

I guess that's what true fulfillment looks like.

In about five years, I'll have my own café,

and I'll be just like him.

Didn't you say three years before?

Stop chatting and get to work.

Right!

- Table three, please. - Sure.

Kuma, you've arranged it so beautifully.

Thank you.

Welcome.

Good evening.

We're heading out before you.

Good job today, everyone.

Same to you.

You should've gone home when you said you would.

I went for a meal with Kuma and the others.

Is the rash back again?

I really can't take any more of her.

When you wear that worried look all day,

the staff starts worrying, you know?

I know that.

So, your wife said no to giving you money?

She looks down on me.

She doesn't think the business will go well, even if she lends me money.

She really pisses me off.

- Here! - What's that?

Is this what I think it is?

It's Adoxin. Two milligrams.

This is enough to kill her.

What are you saying?

Did you think I was joking?

I am serious.

It's extracted from lacquer beans.

Someone who has done experiments in college can make this easily.

Once it enters the body, within 12 hours, she'll develop severe

vomiting, diarrhea, and a fever.

The poison breaks down the cells,

resulting in organ failure.

She'd die in about two days.

What's amazing about this poison is that

the cause of death will certainly be determined as an illness.

Even if they do an autopsy,

the amount ingested is so small,

it doesn't show up in the exam.

If you put it in red wine or something,

she won't notice.

It's to protect the café.

You need to make your mind up.

THE ETERNAL LOVE

I'm home.

I'm home.

Please save Maria's life.

I loved Maria.

I'm Soma, from the Special Crime Investigations Unit.

My name is Mochizuki.

It's a long title, but basically, I'm an expert in kidnappings.

You can rest now that we're here.

Thank you for your help.

Please come in.

You haven't moved anything, right?

Yes, just as you said.

Please excuse me.

N31.

Does that sound familiar?

No, not at all.

Two hundred million yen is quite the sum.

Sorry for asking, but can you get it?

Yes, somehow.

If you have it in the bank, can you give us the account info?

The police can assist you.

Okay.

MRS. MARIA MOCHIZUKI

I will take care of this.

- Hey. - Yes?

When did you last see your wife?

This morning, before heading to work.

Did anything seem off about her?

Nothing that stands out...

Even if it seems trivial, let me know.

Was there nothing at all?

- Her nails... - Her nails?

- Her nails? - Yeah.

She said she got her nails done.

Has your wife been worried about anything in particular lately?

Maybe that someone was following her, or did she have money problems?

I don't think so.

There are cups from the same set in the sink.

Are those for guests?

They are mine and my wife's.

They have cocoa in them.

Did you drink it with your wife?

Of course not.

My wife wasn't here when I got back.

So, you got back before the call was placed,

around midnight, correct?

Yes.

I checked the homepage of your café,

but it closes at eight.

That's right.

What happened after closing?

I did some accounting work and some coffee roasting.

Was anyone with you?

No, I was on my own.

Is that so?

Is something wrong?

I bought that wine today,

as a gift for my wife.

A gift?

It has memories for us.

I planned on us both drinking it together.

I can't believe this happened.

When she comes back, please drink it together then.

Thank you very much.

Did you check the house on your own?

Yes. I looked everywhere.

- Was anything out of place? - No.

Could you submit your cell phone to us?

What?

I don't think the perp will be back in touch before morning,

but if they do, we will contact you.

Okay.

We are likely entering a long war of nerves.

Please get some rest, Mr. Mochizuki.

Thank you so much.

- That was a surprise. - Huh?

What do you mean?

You asked a member of the victim's family for an alibi

right off the bat.

I just started the pot boiling.

The pot?

What would you do if your wife had been kidnapped

and investigators show up

only to accuse you?

I'd be really pissed off.

But that guy treated it as if it was

none of his business.

You don't think

he has something to do with this, do you?

Well, that's your job.

KOHEI'S RUNNING SHOES

I'm free.

I called the police in a hurry.

If that gets out to the perp, she'll be killed

without me paying them a cent.

Sorry the diamond is so small.

What's wrong?

I'm so happy, I couldn't speak.

I'll make you a promise. Next time, I'll get you a bigger diamond.

Don't worry about that.

But...

promise me one thing.

DON'T LEAVE MY SIDE UNTIL WE DIE

Why did you do that?

It's a blood oath with wine. Although it doesn't look like a fingerprint.

What will you use to swear upon?

Let's swear on this wine.

Le... Amour...

Le Amour Eternel.

Okay.

So, I swear on this "Eternel", or whatever it is...

Cheers.

Mr. Mochizuki.

Yes?

It's Inspector Soma.

Good morning.

Could you let us in soon?

I'll get changed right away.

The beers...

I couldn't get to sleep last night.

Good morning. Sorry for the wait.

Good morning.

There were no calls.

We have only completed preliminary tests,

but the blood stain over there most likely belongs to your wife.

Is that so?

By the way,

if you look in your cupboard, there are plenty of cups for guests.

So?

I don't understand.

I wonder why Maria

would use her husband's cup?

Do you have any idea who she might give such a cup to?

Sorry, but I have no idea.

Who is that?

I think it is the neighbors from across the street.

Please go out to them.

Act naturally.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Where is your wife?

She is in the shower.

But she hasn't seen you off to work yet?

You work weekends too, right?

Can I help you with something?

Sorry,

it's just that some of your mail

was delivered to us by accident.

Sorry for the trouble.

It's no trouble.

They say good neighbors are better than far-away family members.

How about you and your wife come over for a meal sometime?

He made paella recently and we couldn't manage to finish it all,

just the two of us.

It's more delicious as a big portion.

Kazu,

you really are a fusspot.

I just really want to make the best food for you, Yuki.

You'll make me blush.

No matter what you make,

- it all tastes so good. - Excuse me.

I'll ask my wife.

Please tell her

- we were asking for her. - Of course.

Thank you very much.

How did it go?

Look at this.

MR. KOHEI MOCHIZUKI

I'm going to open it.

YOU CONTACTED THE POLICE

AS YOU WANTED, YOUR WIFE IS NOW DEAD

AS YOU WANTED

YOUR WIFE IS NOW DEAD

I did my nails.

It's Maria's.

A public investigation?

We'll set up at Takaban Station and make this a normal investigation.

Wait a minute.

We can't be sure the victim has been killed.

The message about contacting the police may have been a bluff.

There is no need to hide it anymore.

What do you mean?

An e-mail confirming details

of the incident was sent to the media.

The sender was N31.

Only the perp knows that.

Why would they do that?

We don't know. But the eyes of the media are on us.

For the sake of the honor of the police,

we need to find the perpetrator.

KEEP OUT

POLICE DEPARTMENT

After that, there was no communication that might confirm

who the perpetrator was, so the police opened

a public enquiry to trace Maria Mochizuki's whereabouts.

All we can do

is leave it to the police.

What are you saying?

Maria may be in serious trouble.

You need to get serious about finding her.

I don't know what to do.

Is there anything I can do?

KOHEI'S MOTHER KUMEKO MOCHIZUKI

I closed the shop today.

I told you I'm fine.

I'm busy. Bye.

He said he's fine.

KOHEI'S NIECE KAEDE MOCHIZUKI

Was she really killed?

If she was...

my wish came true.

And what's more, there is no blood on my hands.

Mr. Mochizuki!

Yes.

Could we check this room too, please?

Sure, please come in.

Please excuse me.

Are you okay?

Yes.

I'm okay.

Ehm...

I can't relax here, so, can I go to my café?

- Oh! He's here. - That's him.

You're Kohei Mochizuki, right?

Could you give us a statement?

Mr. Mochizuki.

Mr. Mochizuki, please give us a statement.

- Please. - Speak to us.

Just a few words.

- Please. - What's your message for the coward?

I...

still believe that my wife is alive.

I don't care how unimportant you feel it may be,

please tell the police whatever you know.

Please.

Do you have any idea who the perpetrator is?

Mr. Mochizuki!

- Mr. Mochizuki! - Was your wife acting strangely?

- Mr. Mochizuki. - Mr. Mochizuki.

Mr. Mochizuki!

Mr. Mochizuki!

Mr. Mochizuki!

- Where are you going? - Mr. Mochizuki!

Examine this car.

But isn't that her husband's car?

Just do it!

Understood.

Chief!

Chief.

It seems that Kohei Mochizuki

is having money problems.

What?

So, he can't get the 200 million yen?

They have 200 million yen in savings,

but it's all his wife's.

The name on the bank book was his wife's, wasn't it?

Maria received an inheritance from her parents two years ago.

So, they had 200 million yen..?

No,

they actually had three billion.

Three billion?

Her father founded a food factory.

And this money came from selling his accumulated property and stocks.

But according to the will, most went to charity,

and all he left Maria was 500 million in cash.

So, how did that drop to 200 million?

Kohei Mochizuki originally worked

as a designer for a major advertising firm.

But when his wife got her inheritance,

they bought this house, and what's more, he quit his job

and opened the café he has now.

So, they used the inheritance to open the café?

Yes.

But it's not doing well.

I spoke to the accountant in charge of the books,

and in recent months, they've been struggling to keep up with expenses.

I guess we are starting to see the pieces

of the larger picture.

I still believe...

that my wife is alive.

You come across well on TV.

You come across as the perfect husband

praying for the safety of his wife.

I'm getting loads of messages of support too.

You really did it for us.

Don't be stupid. It wasn't me.

Who cares? As long as she is gone.

Did you hate her?

I just want to be with you.

I'm going to get all of the inheritance.

The future of the café is secure.

You'll have to give thanks to God and the perpetrator.

Hey, we're at work.

There are cops outside.

It gets me in the mood.

-What are you saying? - You're so silly.

We are at the scene of the incident.

POLICE DEPARTMENT

KIDNAPPING INCIDENT SPECIAL INVESTIGATION DIVISION

The DNA results are not in yet,

but we are almost certain the nail we were sent belongs to Maria.

According to forensics, it should be from her left ring finger.

It would appear that someone posted the letter into a neighboring house

last night,

but we don't have any witnesses currently.

So, that must mean they read our moves from an early stage.

Soma, did you mess up

and reveal yourself to the perp?

It could be that Kohei, who reported the incident, is the suspect.

That typical suspicion of yours again?

Blood was found in the trunk

of Kohei Mochizuki's car.

Is it his wife's?

As it is only a small amount, it is taking time to analyze.

We're confirming it now.

Thank you for coming out here.

It is no bother.

Do you have a new lead?

Mr. Mochizuki, you were in track and field during college.

You still like jogging, right?

Your neighbors have seen you out running a lot.

Okay.

- What has that got... - What shoes do you wear?

Is it this?

Yes.

That's it.

We found prints from these shoes...

on the carpet right by the front door.

A part of the print is missing.

The person forgot to wipe them away.

They are 27 cm shoes,

the same as yours.

Wait a second. Are you saying those footprints are mine?

That's not what I am saying.

However,

we checked the shoe closet,

and your shoes are missing.

KOHEI'S RUNNING SHOES

What do you think of that?

I guess someone put on my shoes

and attacked my wife.

Right.

That's one way to think of it.

That's all for today. Thank you very much.

Did you get the smell of women's perfume from him?

His wife may have been killed, but he comes in with a shiny face.

That guy

may be the real dregs of humanity.

AN IDEAL HUSBAND FEARING FOR HIS BELOVED WIFE'S SAFETY

CRACKS GRADUALLY APPEAR IN HIS PERFORMANCE

You killed Maria.

If this gets out, we are done.

That's one more motive to have her killed.

You're the chief suspect.

I'll be waiting here.

I'm the only one who can save Maria.

KOHEI'S RUNNING SHOES

What the heck happened?

Where did my shoes go?

Could it be...

that someone is trying to frame me?

ANNA KITASATO

It's a work call.

Hello.

Turn on the TV now.

What?

Just do it, quickly!

Wait, wait.

What do you mean about trouble in the marriage?

I can't speak about it too publicly,

but Maria was worried that her husband

was having an affair.

You said that it hadn't gotten out.

It couldn't have.

Did you mention our relationship?

What?

I mean, to the police.

Of course.

If this gets out, we are over. I mean, I had the Adoxin too.

Are you listening to me, Kohei?

Huh?

Yeah, got it.

Pull yourself together.

Where is the Adoxin? What happened to it?

I put it in wine. The bottle is here.

What are you doing? Get rid of it!

You're right.

I'll do it right now.

In any case,

we need to put space between us moving forward.

We can't call or text. Delete all messages from me.

Got it?

Got it.

Hearing word of a potential affair,

a swathe of reporters have rushed to the home of Kohei Mochizuki,

husband of Maria Mochizuki.

She was worried

that her husband was having an affair.

It's just as you suspected, Chief.

This is another motive for him to kill his wife.

Mr. Mochizuki!

Mr. Mochizuki!

There he is.

He's going that way.

Mr. Mochizuki!

Let us hear from you.

Mr. Mochizuki!

YOKOJI DETECTIVE AGENCY

Yokoji, it's Kohei.

OWNER, YOKOJI DETECTIVE AGENCY MASAMICHI YOKOJI

Oh, look, a celebrity.

So, you were watching TV?

Kohei.

Yes.

Did you kill her?

What are you saying?

The culprit went to a lot of trouble

of telling the media and the police that they killed the hostage.

They would want to hide a big piece of evidence such as a body,

but yet they also wanted to let everyone know what they did.

What kind of person would benefit from doing that?

It could only be you, as you'd get the inheritance.

I didn't do it.

But the police suspect me.

Can you help me?

As a rule, I don't take requests from liars.

It's not a lie.

Let's put you to the test.

You were cheating, right?

Yes.

With whom?

Anna Kitasato. She's in charge

of food at the café.

She's also my business partner.

Then, let's say I believe you.

I had my suspicions and actually had a former colleague of mine

check in on the investigation.

How is it going?

At the headquarters,

you're the chief suspect, Kohei.

Very close to Maria's blood,

they found footprints from my running shoes.

That's not good at all.

You could be arrested at any moment.

What should I do?

You have to find the true criminal.

- The cups! - Huh?

Before Maria was kidnapped,

someone was drinking cocoa from my mug.

That person might be the culprit.

I guess Maria was not to be outdone.

She must have brought men home and had all the fun she wanted.

I don't think Maria would do that.

You should throw away that baseless perception.

I've done so many investigations into potential affairs,

and married people get up to all sorts.

Nothing is impossible.

Any hunches?

Any male friends?

Colleagues she used to work with?

Or boyfriends from long ago?

Hmm...

I don't think she has ever been with anyone else other than me.

I wonder who that guy is who has been staking out this building

for a while now?

What?

He doesn't look like a cop.

It's him.

A MYSTERY MAN SPILLS MARIA'S SECRETS

A CORNERED HUSBAND LEARNS HOW HIS WIFE FELT

I'm the only one who can save Maria.

You weren't noticed.

You kidnapped Maria?

Two hundred million?

I'm waiting for you.

The traces of her blood were analyzed.

There must be a mistake.

I didn't do it.

I loved Maria.

I hope from the bottom of my heart that Maria comes back.

Do you have a minute? I have some questions.

Hey, wait up.

Who are you? Why are you following me?

Did you kidnap Maria, you bastard?

Calm down.

My name is Shogo Ogata.

ARTIST OGATA SHOGO

I'm Maria's junior and colleague from art school.

Her junior?

I randomly ran into her on the street three months ago.

And we met a few times after that.

So, it was you who was using my cup?

What has you laughing?

I didn't do any of the obscene things

you might be imagining.

You expect me to believe you?

She clearly loved you.

All I did was hear her

talk about how you might be cheating.

She knew about your cheating.

She even knew who your lover was. Anna Kitasato.

Maria said it was her own fault.

It was a shock.

But I think I bear some responsibility.

Why?

I think that Kohei

felt suffocated.

She never said a bad word about you.

But she was very worried,

thinking you were being tricked.

Tricked?

She hoped that your lover

hadn't approached you to get the inheritance.

So, your wife said no to giving you money?

I'm just worried about you, Kohei.

What about last night?

Why were you at the house last night?

I was...

following you.

Maria asked you to?

You know nothing about Maria.

She'd never ask me to do something like that.

I did it of my own volition because I was worried about Maria.

Since I heard what happened,

I followed you all day.

Even...

at a time like this, you met with your lover.

What were you doing?

A guy like you is not worthy of Maria's love.

You...

killed Maria.

PARENT'S HOME

What is it? I said I'm busy.

Kohei?

Kaede?

What's wrong?

Well,

there is something that Maria left with me.

DRY CLEANERS

APOLOGIES, BUT WE ARE CLOSED TODAY

Where did that come from, out of the blue?

What's this about you cheating?

That's just a misunderstanding.

Really?

Yeah.

So, what's happening with Maria?

She hasn't been found yet.

It's so worrying.

What happened with Mom?

She took to bed after hearing about Maria.

Why would she go to such extremes?

You really know nothing.

What?

When mom was ill and bedridden in February,

Maria came here every day

caring for Mom, helping in the shop,

and even looking after Kaede.

Huh?

She said she didn't want to worry you

because things were tough at the café.

But it seems like she really told you nothing.

But that's not all.

She always brought us presents on our birthdays.

OUT OF ORDER

And recently,

when our cash register broke,

Maria was worried about us, so she paid to replace it.

She would show her face here regularly,

completely different from you, who never contacts us.

She'd tell us how you were doing.

You don't find such a good wife.

Kaori?

Is someone with you?

No, no. Do you want some water?

Yeah.

I am sure that Maria is safe.

Happy birthday, dear Kaeda-chan

Kohei?

Kaede.

It's been a while, hasn't it, Kaede?

What's up?

You said that Maria had given you something.

She told me

that if she died before you did,

she wanted me to give you this.

She told me to make sure not to forget.

I think that Maria is still alive.

But we made a pinky swear.

I didn't know

what I was supposed to do.

Okay.

I will take this.

Kohei.

Yeah?

Maria, is still alive, right?

Don't worry. Of course she is.

Mr. Mochizuki,

please accompany us to the station.

What is happening?

As a person of interest in the case of Maria Mochizuki's kidnapping,

we have some questions for you.

- This way, please. - This way, please.

Why me?

We can talk more at the station.

What the hell is going on? I didn't do it. Tell me the reason.

We found traces of Maria's blood

in the trunk of your car.

You're lying. You've made a mistake.

I will listen to you, but we need to go.

Wait, wait!

I really didn't do it.

I loved Maria.

Be quiet.

Wait.

I didn't do it.

I loved Maria.

Stop.

Ehm...

I've an emergency delivery for a Mr. Kohei Mochizuki.

Maria...

Please provide any information you can.

That's footage from today.

She...

is still alive.

Please tell us what you know.

"Get 200 million in notes that are not in sequence.

Bundle them in stacks of a million yen.

Put it in a 90-liter garbage bag.

Mochizuki Kohei should bring it alone to the Wanpaku Square

in Setagaya's Western Park by 10 a.m. on the 17th.

If I see any police, the deal is off, and I'll kill your wife this time."

There is only 14 hours until then.

The notes we have are in sequence.

It'll take time to prepare what they want.

Hey!

We just got a message from the culprit.

My wife is still alive.

What are you doing?

They have demanded a ransom.

We need 200 million in notes that are not in sequence.

Within 14 hours.

What do you think you are doing?

I have a request for those of you watching this.

I can prepare 200 million with numbers in sequence.

Please swap your 10,000 yen notes with me.

Stop it.

Please come to 5-12-3 Minamigaoka, Meguro Ward.

I'll be waiting here.

Please help me save Maria's life.

Please come to 5-12-3 Minamigaoka, Meguro Ward.

Please come to 5-12-3 Minamigaoka, Meguro Ward.

Please come to 5-12-3 Minamigaoka, Meguro Ward.

What the hell do you think you are doing?

You didn't say how we should collect the money.

I did what I could.

You're a suspect.

You can't suspect me anymore.

There's still a chance you set all of this up.

Think what you want, but I'm the only one who can save Maria.

Wait, wait.

I loved Maria.

You've made a mistake.

This is the 200 million yen.

This is the unprecedented kidnapping and hostage drama.

In order to rescue Maria Mochizuki,

despite it being early in the morning,

many people have come

to exchange 10,000 yen notes.

They have already exchanged almost 100 million yen.

If they continue at this pace, they're likely

to collect the required sum in time.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Next, please.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Take this too.

1,000 YEN

Thank you.

Kohei will be happy.

If they continue at this pace, they're likely

to collect the required sum in time.

Two hundred million...

I know there were rumors he was cheating...

GOOD MORNING TV KOHEI MOCHIZUKI

...but seeing him going to such extremes for his wife

really makes you want to root for him.

I'm going to hide the cord.

We have officers placed around the designated park,

but they can't come into contact with you.

If something happens, we'll let you know in the earpiece.

Relax and follow our instructions.

Communicate with us through the mic.

Got it.

Take this too.

- What is it? - It's a homing device.

It lets us know your whereabouts at all times.

Mr. Mochizuki, can you hear me?

Yes, I can.

We are watching you from here

the entire time.

THE WIFE WHO LOVED HIM WITH ALL HER HEART

HE WON'T GIVE UP IN THE FIGHT TO SAVE HER

It was the order of the kidnapper.

Don't do anything stupid!

You can't save her without a fight.

I just wanted to help Maria.

Did you try to destroy evidence?

It seems like it was a big success.

Get him down.

I have no reason to kidnap Maria.

You're finished.

Kohei is in position.

Roger. Keep your eyes on him.

- What happened? - An alarm went off.

He is moving to the parking lot.

What happened, Mr. Mochizuki?

A message from the kidnapper.

Calm down and tell me what is happening.

There was a note in an alarm clock.

Read out exactly what is says.

"Bring the money

to the third base in the Inagi Baseball Stadium in 30 minutes."

The kidnapper has changed the meeting point.

It's the stand near third base at Inagi Baseball Stadium in 30 minutes.

Inagi City Baseball Stadium.

Will we make it on time? It'll be tight.

Unit B, I am on site.

How are things?

There's a kids match on now.

There are about 50 people in the stands, likely families.

Roger. Scope out the area and stay alert.

Wait for Mochizuki.

- Step on it. - Got it.

There is an alarm going off. What should I do?

Where is Mochizuki?

He's not here yet.

He has arrived.

What is happening, Mochizuki?

It's another instruction.

What does it say?

"Bring the money to the Tamagawa campsite in 30 minutes."

Change in location for the exchange.

It's the Tamagawa campsite in 30 minutes. Surround it.

All units, report.

Unit A, I'm on the opposite bank.

Unit B, I'm near Tokura Bridge.

Unit C, I am waiting on the Okuyama Highway.

It's a drone.

A drone?

- There's a message. - Read it.

"Put the bag in the net."

Do it.

But put the homing device in with it.

A homing device has been hidden inside the ransom.

It is currently flying upstream along the river.

It is black. There is a bag hanging on the bottom of it.

This is unit C, roger.

Check your monitors and follow them. Make sure you aren't seen.

Chief, please send back-up to the surrounding areas.

Understood.

It stopped.

It's at Tamagawa Gyokusen Park. Seal the perimeter.

Make sure you aren't seen.

This is Unit B. Someone is coming from the west.

Get him.

Move out.

What? What? What?

What's going on?

Hey! Wait.

Ouch.

What the heck?

Mr. Mochizuki, can you hear me?

Yes.

Let me ask you a question.

You replaced the money with paper, right?

Yes, I did.

Why didn't you tell us?

My wife...

Maria...

I really wanted to help her.

"Near the first base,

you will find a garbage bag.

Swap the bags.

Then bring it to the Tamagawa campsite in the next 30 minutes.

Don't tell the cops you swapped out the bag.

If you don't follow these instructions, she is dead."

So, that's why I followed

the kidnapper's instructions.

If you'd spoken into the mic, they never would've known.

About that, Chief...

They're bugged.

The suspect must have been listening nearby.

That's why.

The money with the bag in it has disappeared from the stadium.

There's an accomplice who collected the money.

You can have this back.

I'm going home to wait for Maria to return.

We have a message!

What is it?

We've had a tip off.

It would appear that the ransom has been paid

just as the kidnapper requested, but there's no indication yet

that Maria has been released.

This is the worst possible development.

It seems the higher-ups have almost given up.

Did the culprit contact you?

No, we received some information from an anonymous tipster.

On the night your wife was kidnapped,

they saw you putting a substance into a wine bottle in a parking lot.

We are confiscating it as evidence.

Chief.

I found this upstairs.

Huh?

Didn't you say that you were going to drink this with your wife?

You weren't trying to destroy evidence, were you?

But Mr. Mochizuki,

there is still a little bit left.

Someone is coming out.

The police are bringing items

out of Mr. Mochizuki's home.

What did you put in it?

Were you trying to poison your wife?

What is this about?

How did you get it?

Inspector...

Could it have been from your lover?

I don't have a lover.

Anna Kitasato.

She studied food science and graduated.

She was then hired as an intern

at the same food company owned by Maria's father.

Following the opening of the café,

you hit it off with when she acted as a consultant on your menu,

and then she was hired as a staff.

She is your lover.

She is just...

a friend from work.

Her apartment block's custodian has seen you go there numerous times.

This is the purchase history on her credit card.

Two weeks ago, she bought lacquer beans on the Internet.

But you knew that, right?

They're beans used to make a poison called Adoxin.

Your sins

will always come back to haunt you.

Why don't you head with us to the station?

Don't you find it strange?

Stop your blabbering!

Let's say I had tried

to poison her,

I'd have no reason to kidnap her.

Right now,

I really

want Maria to come home. From the bottom of my heart.

Could you please wait until we are contacted

by the culprit?

You are really persistent.

Well...

Fine then.

Chief!

There's no benefit

to a kidnapper keeping a hostage after getting a ransom.

If they plan on releasing her, it shouldn't take long.

We will stay with you until midnight.

If we find

Adoxin in the wine we took from you,

we'll get an arrest warrant for you.

You are finished.

What's the nature of your relationship with Kohei Mochizuki?

- You are Anna Kitasato, right? - What do you want with me?

Do you know that this picture is being shared online?

Are you Kohei Mochizuki's lover?

Of course not.

He's just a work friend.

So, what is this picture about?

Please explain yourself.

Let me through.

Let me through.

What's the issue?

Please move to the side.

I'm with the police.

You are Anna Kitasato, right?

You are a person of interest in the Maria Mochizuki case.

Please come to the station.

The police are now bringing

the woman thought to be Kohei Mochizuki's lover

to the station.

This is a new development in this case.

There may be some kernels of truth

to the rumor that the kidnapping was the work of Kohei Mochizuki

and his lover.

Hello.

Good evening.

It seems like it was a big success. Congratulations.

Of course.

I will wait here.

Apologies, but we have a booking

for the whole bar, so we are taking last orders.

Where are you going?

Please allow me to change.

Kohei Mochizuki,

do you pledge to stay with this woman

in sickness and in health,

until death do you part?

Yes, I do.

Maria Asakura,

do you pledge to stay with this man

in sickness and in health,

until death do you part?

Yes, I do.

Maria...

Seal your pledge with a kiss.

Mr. Mochizuki.

Mr. Mochizuki.

Get him down.

Yabuki, get the rope.

Okay.

Hey, wake up.

- Call an ambulance. - Okay.

I need an ambulance.

Open your eyes.

Hey!

Hey!

Can you hear me?

You idiot,

don't do something so stupid!

I'm...

already...

We found her.

We found Maria.

She was found three kilometers

from that campsite.

How is Maria?

How is my wife?

She is rundown,

but there will be no lasting health impacts.

All together!

PLEASE HOLD ONTO THIS FOR A WHILE MARIA MOCHIZUKI

Maria Mochizuki has come home safe and sound.

- Did you see the kidnapper's face? - No, I didn't.

So, you no longer suspect me, right?

What the hell is going on?

You stole the 200 million, right?

Dammit!

Were you behind it all?

You really are a fool.

THIS DRAMA IS A WORK OF FICTION
