On the night that Kohei Mochizuki

attempts to poison his wife Maria.

Maria is kidnapped.

Although delighted at first

Kohei becomes aware of Maria's deep love for him.

My wife Maria is alive! Save her life!

He succeeds in securing her return in exchange for 200 million yen.

We saved Maria!

However, it was all a setup by Maria.

Using Ogata who had feelings for her

Maria staged the whole kidnapping herself.

It seemed that the couple had restored their bonds

but Kohei becomes aware of the truth.

So it was all your doing.

So what if it was?

You are really stupid!

Shogo Ogata has been eliminated.

So you killed Ogata.

Whatever do you mean?

According to the fire department

someone drenched the inside in gasoline and set fire to it.

What about Shogo Ogata?

His house was empty and we are unable to contact Ogata.

An arson attack occurring at this time.

Do you think there is a link to

Maria Mochizuki's kdnapping?

Leader. It seems that a door to a basement

has been found inside too.

This is it.

- Open it. - Yes

Ready. Push.

Leader. Take this.

Do you swear to be together

until death do you part?

- I do. - I do.

You may kiss the bride.

Kiss...

Morning. You're up early.

Morning. Yeah, I woke up early.

Give me a minute and I will fix breakfast.

ARSON AT STUDIO IN HACHIOJI

No body has been found.

UNABLE TO CONTACT SHOGO OGATA

So, he wasn't killed?

Or alternatively,

has he been hidden somewhere else?

I charged it for you.

Thanks.

ANNA KITASATO

Didn't you need to take that?

No, I didn't recognize the number.

Really?

It seemed like you were getting

lots of messages.

I HAVE SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO SAY CAN YOU CALL ME? CALL ME BACK!

I NEED TO CONTACT YOU URGENTLY! ARE YOU IGNORING ME? CALL ME

I'll go to the bathroom.

It's impossible.

I can't stand this.

What's wrong?

Why are you putting your shoes on?

The bathroom is over there, you know.

That's right.

Breakfast will be ready soon.

You should drink the soup while it is hot.

Yes, you're right.

- It tastes good. - Really?

Thank you.

What should I do?

Should I run away?

But what would I do once I run away?

I have nothing of my own.

Should I kill her?

No. That would be the end of my life.

Sorry.

Will I spend

the rest of my life being scared of Maria?

It's the cops.

Let's overcome this marriage crisis together.

You know Shogo Ogata, I believe.

He was your junior.

- Yes. - Ogata's studio

was burned to the ground in an arson attack last night.

I saw it on the news.

Have you met him recently?

- Yes, several times. - What about?

I needed to consult with him

about my husband's affair.

I need to ask something, Maria.

Do you have a beauty mark on your back?

Eh?

Around this area.

Yes, she does.

Don't be shocked.

We found a secret room

in the basement of Ogata's studio.

We found this there.

I thought it looked similar to Maria, so I wanted to ask you.

This is the beauty mark.

What?

This is me.

I worked as a model one time

when I was still a student.

Maria!

These were not copies.

They had all been meticulously drawn.

Maybe he felt particularly strong feelings for you, Maria.

Some kind of twisted emotion.

Maria, is it possible that Ogata was the person

who kidnapped you?

I have no idea.

But surely not.

Ogata would never.

If Shogo Ogata tries to contact you, be sure

to let us know immediately.

Yes. Thank you very much.

Maria!

Yuki!

I'm so glad you are safe.

I was so worried, I could hardly sleep.

Thank you.

By the way,

I think I need to apologize to you.

Letting it slip about the infidelity.

Ah! Don't worry. Thanks to you,

we were able to face the problem together as a couple.

Really?

Yuki. That thing we talked about.

Oh yes, I was going to say. I saw that guy.

The one on the TV. Ogata.

I was surprised that it was the same person.

Where did you see him?

When Maria was kidnapped

and the police and the press

were here making a fuss.

Can we talk to you about this in detail?

Please come inside.

Come this way.

- Follow us. - Excuse us.

- Excuse me, Mr. Souma. - Yes.

Do the police suspect Ogata of something?

- Well, for now, anyway. - By which you mean?

Something bothers me.

Why would he burn down his place

but leave paintings that would put him at a disadvantage?

That's a good question.

I think somebody is trying to make it seem like Ogata is the perpetrator.

Who would do that?

Don't worry! We will definitely find the perpetrator.

I will make sure of it.

I am counting on you.

Excuse me.

I guess you will be going then.

Yes. See you later.

As I thought, Maria did it.

She killed Ogata

and hid the body somewhere.

Why did I ever marry her?

That monster!

Hang on! The ransom money.

That means Maria must have it.

That's right. The 200 million.

I'll steal the money she has hidden away and run away somewhere.

There is only one path

left for me to take.

I can't stand this life.

Put up with it! We're married!

Let's steal the 200 million and run!

I love you.

There's no accounting for what goes on in a marriage.

There may have been trouble with an accomplice.

- You need to withdraw! - He has to die.

Can you meet?

It's just crazy!

You and he both!

She's carrying a large bag.

Has she gone to get the money?

Why is he hanging around here?

Sicko!

HIGASHI-OYAMA PARK GUIDE

She's even changed her clothes.

Where is she intending to go?

Follow the taxi in front.

The Market.

Welcome!

Can I help you?

- Hello! - Hello!

We have some good coffee from Kenya.

This one?

Welcome.

Yes, it has a good aroma!

Coffee beans?

What is she playing at?

That is...

Ogata.

So, Maria did not kill him after all.

The two are obviously still in cahoots.

If so, Ogata must have the money.

Why did you set fire to the studio?

If your fingerprints

were found somewhere, the police would know.

I wiped them all away.

But I was just thinking of a worst-case scenario.

It's nice of you to think of me,

but don't do things without telling me first.

I was just

thinking about you.

What were those paintings about?

So, the police came?

Why did you leave those paintings lying around?

If worse comes to worst,

I am prepared to take the sole blame for the incident.

- Ogata. - What is more,

I just can't burn those paintings

of you.

Let me check the contents.

What is in that cooler box?

That's where the money is.

- I'll leave you to take care of it. - Okay.

How did you get that scar?

Kohei and I got into it a bit yesterday.

I'll get him.

It's nothing, really.

If he hadn't been there,

it wouldn't have come to this.

Ogata.

I will protect you

whatever happens.

Now I know where the 200 million is.

What a surprise!

Kohei!

I came here to buy a few things.

What are you doing here?

Well, I...

came here to study coffee beans.

I've been talking

a lot to that wholesaler.

I wanted to be able to help your cafe in the future.

What a surprise!

SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. WE WILL REOPEN FROM TOMORROW

What is this bag?

These aren't jute bags.

They are beans that are being aged.

- Aging? - Yes.

You let them age like wine.

They are called the old crop.

I guess it's just like a hobby of mine.

I started it to celebrate the grand opening.

So, these beans hold special memories for you.

Listen.

Are you seriously intending to help out?

Would you rather I didn't?

No, it's not that, but...

Don't appear so downcast. They are all looking at you.

Welcoming your wife home safe and sound.

You should be at the peak of your happiness.

So, speak in a happy way about the attractions of coffee.

Whatever beans you use,

the appearance of the coffee does not change when ready.

However, every cup of coffee contains

a whole host of stories.

A pitch-black world

conceals infinite amounts of joy.

That's lovely.

I just have to grin and bear this until I get my hands on the money.

I'm so glad Maria got home safe and sound.

I wonder what will happen.

I mean, Anna and the owner had an affair.

It will be a little difficult for Anna to stay now.

It's not up to you.

What?

Kuma is Anna's number one fan.

- Is that right? - Don't be stupid.

What I'm trying to say is that Anna is needed here.

Well, yeah, but...

- You haven't had lunch yet, right? - No.

Let me make something for our staff.

You don't need to do that.

You only recently got discharged from the hospital.

- I will make something. - Really, it's no trouble.

It is my fault that the cafe closing inconvenienced you all.

Let me do this little thing for you.

Please. I'm going to borrow one of the lockers.

Seriously?

ANNA KITASATO

ANNA KITASATO

It looks so good!

- Did you take notes properly? - Of course I did.

You wrote everything down?

I said I did.

Here you go!

You've put miso in it.

I've been a stay-at-home housewife for six years now.

Try this?

- That's amazing! - Good!

You should train under her, Kuma.

Shut up.

That looks delicious.

Hold on. I'm almost done.

ANNA KITASATO COME OUT THE BACK

- Thank you. - Hey, listen up.

What? It'll be so good, it'll blow your socks off.

Kohei.

You can't be here. Maria is inside.

You are being tricked.

I found this at my place.

- What's that? - It is a listening device.

I think Maria snuck into my place and hid it

after finding out about our affair.

It must have been Maria who tipped off the police

that poison was put in the wine.

It was all to get back at us.

Yeah, I know that Maria did it all.

Kohei.

I know, but there is nothing I can do about it.

She has hidden the wine laced with Adoxin somewhere.

It had been swapped.

If we tell the police about Maria, we will be in trouble too.

Surely not.

Anna. Can't we try again?

Let's take the 200 million and run away.

Do you know where it is?

The accomplice, a guy called Ogata, has it.

- Ogata? - A guy who is crazy about Maria.

When I followed Maria this morning, she met with him.

He had the money inside a cooler box.

I love you.

- Anna. - Let's do it.

Steal the 200 million and get our revenge on Maria.

But I don't know where Ogata is.

We have to draw him out.

Eh?

The fact that they met up

means that Maria and Ogata are in contact with each other.

That looks great!

Maria made all of it.

Dig in!

Bon appetit!

Bon appetit!

Bon appetit!

This is really good!

- Yes, it is. - I'm really glad.

- It's really excellent. - Good. Please pass this.

Delicious.

LOCK WHEN POWER COMES ON

That was really excellent.

Why don't you add it to the menu?

No way, Honoka.

I broke the cell phone

so Ogata will come directly to make contact.

Delete this message right away.

DELETING... ALL MESSAGES DELETED

It's a great recipe.

The coffee is ready.

- Thank you. - Thank you very much.

- Here you go, Maria. - Thank you.

- Bon appetit! - Go ahead!

I'm really stuffed.

What do you think?

It's really something else!

Good.

TASK FORCE LOOKING AT KIDNAPPING FOR RANSOM MONEY

After asking around

near the site of the fire,

it seems Shogo Ogata was witnessed

flying a drone.

On checking the photo,

we can see that it was extremely similar

to the XX type used for receiving the ransom money.

Currently, we are checking Ogata's card purchases

to see if there is any record of him purchasing a drone. That's all.

Souma. You are up next.

When I analyzed the video of when Maria Mochizuki was imprisoned,

we recognized several household belongings seen

in the burnt remains of Ogata's studio.

There is a high probability

that they are a match for those in the video.

In other words,

the place where Maria Mochizuki was held

was Shogo Ogata's place.

So, the noose is tightening?

Are you saying that Ogata ran after destroying the evidence?

No.

I think he may have had a problem with an accomplice.

That's another huge leap.

The thing we know for now is that Shogo Ogata

was involved in the kidnapping.

Yes. That is without doubt.

We will get an arrest warrant and switch to a public investigation.

Make sure you get him in custody.

Understood.

ERATO

OPEN 24 HOURS RENTAL ROOM ERATO

The police are following evidence

that Shogo Ogata was involved

in the kidnapping of Maria Mochizuki.

The number you have called

is not in service, as it is not powered on.

There you go.

I am close to your house, Kohei.

If Ogata comes, I will follow him.

Whatever you do,

don't take your eyes off Maria.

It's been a while since we did this.

Spending time together like this.

Yeah, you're right.

- I really enjoyed it. - Me too.

You fool.

I'm just keeping watch here until Ogata comes.

I feel nauseous just breathing the same air as you.

But I wonder.

Will Ogata really come here?

When and how?

What are you playing at?

I'm going to release you

from his clutches.

Whatever I do,

I won't be able to get away.

I'm going to kill him and put an end to this.

Then, I will take all the blame for the kidnapping.

What did I say to you about doing things without telling me?

- Maria. - We agreed how this would play out.

I don't care if I get arrested.

You just need to say you agreed to cooperate with my request.

No.

- It was my own free will. - I can't ask anything else of you.

I'll only get fraudulent obstruction of business.

- I'd only get a suspended sentence. - Why?

Why would you go so far

to protect what you have with him?

Maria.

I think you would have been happier with me.

Kohei. Are you okay?

Sorry.

I forgot to get the spare key back from him.

Stop this crap!

You're crazy.

- Both of you are. - Don't worry.

I will make sure I protect you and this house.

I'm leaving.

I won't let that happen.

I've had enough!

I can't stand this life!

Put up with it. We're married!

This is not like being married at all.

What about the wine?

Do as you like.

I didn't really mean to kill you.

Just like you, I wouldn't get punished that badly.

And the 200 million?

Don't you need money?

I have 200 million yen.

Wait, Kohei!

Kohei!

Maria, congratulations on getting out of the hospital.

- Congrats! - That's enough.

- What is all this? - Surprise party.

Nobody told me.

It's more fun if it is a surprise.

- Were you shocked? - Thank you.

Maria

Congratulations.

- Yokoji. - Thank you.

Tonight is a special occasion.

Kaede insisted.

She told me to invite him too.

Wasn't there some other guy you could have invited?

- Come on. - Sorry,

but I have something on today.

Yes.

- Yes. - Good evening.

This is Kujirai from across the street.

Can we help you with something?

As a gift to celebrate you coming out of hospital,

I made this paella.

Can I leave this with you?

Just a minute, please.

Kohei.

Ah!

The paella was good.

I can't believe how stuffed I am.

I wonder.

Could you tell me the recipe sometime?

Here you go, Daddy!

Thank you.

I knew that you liked Mommy's fried chicken.

Kaede. Watch what you say!

Go and sit over there.

You don't need to do that.

I will do that.

It is the least I can do. My wife is waiting, so I'll be leaving soon.

Is Yuki okay? She hurt her back, right?

She just tweaked it a little, so she will be fine.

She just texted, saying she was having a bath.

That's good.

Hey!

He is quite a catch.

His wife is 50, you know.

I'm really jealous.

I wish I could swap.

Oh.

- Mr. Kujirai is leaving. - Thanks for having me.

- Thank you. - Thank you very much.

Thank you.

I AM FOLLOWING OGATA

BE CAREFUL. DON'T TAKE ANY CHANCES!

Kohei.

- Has something bad happened? - Not really.

Don't you need to play with Kaede?

Why do you ask?

I mean,

it's been a long time, hasn't it?

Forget it. It's such a hassle.

By the way, it seems like the listening device

belonged to Ogata.

I asked a previous colleague of mine.

It seems there were

numerous paintings of Maria at Ogata's studio.

Yes.

Ogata was Maria's stalker.

His desire increased

and he was short of money,

so it led to a kidnapping.

That's your theory.

No, it is what the police are working on.

It's good that you have been cleared of suspicion, though.

But...

I actually thought of another theory.

What's that?

Maria.

The kidnapping incident

was a complete setup from her.

All designed to make you suffer

after your infidelity,

Rock paper scissors, go.

What do you reckon?

It is an interesting theory.

There's no accounting for what goes on in a marriage.

I better get this.

Hello.

- How is it? - I know the place.

I found out where Ogata is.

It is a rental room in Shinbashi.

- I've identified the room as well. - Great.

The 200 million will soon be ours.

I will go and get the money when Maria is not looking.

It is dangerous, so leave now, Anna.

Got it! I will text you the location later.

Yes, please.

Kohei.

- I love you. - Me too.

All right!

Ah yeah.

Rock paper scissors, go

Look that way!

Yeah, I did it.

Yay!

We've run out.

Kohei, want to drink more?

- Kaori, do you want some more? - Of course.

Can we open the Merlot?

Anything you like.

Okay! Let's get this party started.

You should stop. You're such a bad drunk.

Sorry. We are closed.

Can I just have one drink?

I never expected

that Ogata would do something so rash.

I told you from the start that things would not go to plan.

Are you planning to give up?

I plan to keep going until the end.

Swear on N31.

In that case, you will need to be ready.

Eh?

It must be convenient for you that he is taking the blame.

Of course,

there is no guarantee

that he will not confess to the police.

So, what do you suggest I do?

If I was in your situation,

I couldn't let him live.

Hello? Ogata?

Can you meet?

Ouch.

I'VE GONE AHEAD TO THE CAFE TO PRACTICE ROASTING THE BEANS

I have a delivery for you.

BRAZILIAN COFFEE BEANS 60G MOCHIZUKI

- Thank you very much. - Thanks.

RENTAL ROOM ERATO

GATA'S PLACE - 8-12-3 SHIMBASHI MINATO-KU, RENTAL ROOM ERATO 505

Now I've got it.

I win!

Coffee is a pitch-black world

that conceals infinite joy.

That's what Kohei said.

I see what he means.

He was right.

I realized what was going on when Kohei followed me.

He would come for the money.

Let me check the contents.

Don't look behind you.

Kohei has followed me.

It seems he has noticed...

that the kidnapping was staged.

So, I deliberately showed him

that I had the 200 million yen.

Fed up of seeing Kohei obsessively

trailing after the money,

I interrupted his feeble attempt at following me.

Kohei.

I decided to purchase coffee beans

and had the money sent to the cafe

in the hemp bag it came in.

WE DO HOME DELIVERIES

The time was specified for seven in the morning.

Kohei is not a morning person.

SPECIFIED TIME A.M. 7

So, he won't be awake yet.

I need this money

to carry out my plan.

This money is the lifeline keeping my connection

with Kohei alive.

I have been told many times that the old crop was stored

when the store was first opened.

The unopened hemp sack

is the perfect place

for hiding the treasure.

He used to tell me all the time

about the attraction of coffee.

He said the same things again and again.

But I liked his face as he was saying it.

Like some enthusiastic youth.

But just between you and me

the truth is that

I can't stand coffee.

That is why I have absolutely no hesitation

in throwing away such valuable beans.

What is more,

I just love...

throwing away things that I no longer need.

Crap. It was all done by Maria. It's her fault.

Call the police.

- Did you betray me? - We finally meet.

We have an unknown enemy.

I am the enemy of women.

I will be sure to save you.

You are my perfect wife.

I am sorry.

About being late with the bank transfer payment last month.

- This just doesn't seem right. - Of course it doesn't.

We can't let it end like this.

I wonder if there wasn't something.

Coffee beans?

I've had enough. I will tell you everything.

Kohei. I'm really sorry.
