[ Sandome no Satsujin
The Third Murder ]

Pass it to me.

Hm?

Here.

But to commit robbery with homicide for
the second time is kind of heartless.

You know his
confession, don't you?

Yes. I found out as
soon as his arrested.

If that's the case, then the sentence
would definitely be death penalty.

That's why we asked
you for consultation.

You might as well called
me before the prosecution.

Well, I firstly thought I
could manage this somehow.

What he's saying always
changes every time we meet.

Hello. Thank you for waiting.

You are many today...

I'm glad it didn't rain.

You see...

He's the one I told you
from before, Mr Shigemori.

For the case 30 years ago,
he's the presiding judge's...

Ah, his son?

I'm Shigemori.

I'm Misumi.

I am indebted to your father.

Even though I've already
heard it last time,

there's no mistaking
that you are the killer?

Yes, it's really me.

You killed the victim, right?

Yes, I killed him.

Why did you kill

the president of the factory
you were indebted to?

Your motive, okay?

I want money for gambling.

You're already in trouble, right? Um,
you are in some kind of debt, right?

Yes.

I kind of cannot recover the
money I borrowed from someone.

Okay.

When did you stop working?

September 30.

- You got fired?
- Yes.

Why were you dismissed?

I stole money from the treasury.

Were you drinking that day?

Yes. Around three
cups of shochu.

You thought of killing
before you drank?

Or did you get desperate
when you got drunk?

- I got desperate when I got drunk.
- Okay...

Huh?

Last time, didn't you say that

you thought of killing
him even before that?

Ah... I guess so?

You hit him with a wrench
from behind, right?

Yes.

And did you checked
that he's already dead?

Yes. He's already not breathing.

Is that hand from being scalded?

Yes.

From when I was burning him.

Where did you get the gasoline?

I got it after returning
from the factory.

Just to get it?

It won't take 10
minutes if I run.

So it means you

didn't get to prepare
gasoline from the start?

Yes.

Okay.

That thing right now.

Um, the one that I
asked you last time...

Have you written the letter
for the bereaved family?

Yes.

Okay, I'll take it so
give it to me later.

Okay.

I guess death penalty is the
recommended sentence after all.

Looks like it.

Well, the "robbery with homicide"
itself cannot be moved.

We have no choice
but to move it.

If we do not go against
all the facts,

we cannot compete only recognizing
it with "robbery with homicide"...

Hey, Settsu.

Hm?

You're aiming for a reduction in
penalty, even Misumi himself.

That's right. Why do you ask?

Well, you don't look like it.

For me,

well, it would be the best if we can
even drop the life imprisonment.

What about his family?

It looks like he
has one daughter.

How old?

- His daughter?
- Yeah.

She's 36 years old.

Should we meet her? She's
in Rumoi, Hokkaido.

What? That's far.
Besides, it's cold there.

I guess they never
interacted with each other.

Most likely, since he's been in
prison for the last 30 years.

Well, I don't think we have a testimony
witness that would be advantageous to us.

I'm sure crabs are
delicious these days.

Oh, thanks.

Rumoi has octopuses
instead of crabs.

What the, octopuses.

Hey, don't make
fun of octopuses.

As expected from someone who
was raised in Hokkaido.

That's right.

I won't be able to eat
grilled meat for awhile.

We need to take the plane to
Asahikawa, then ride the train next.

Hey, the travel expenses
will be paid, right?

- That's for the witness, right?
- Yeah.

No, it won't get paid, it won't.

Then let's give that up.

- True.
- Yeah.

Besides, it's cold there. And
there are only octopuses.

But I think it's better if we go
once just to understand Misumi...

- Understand?
- Yes.

No, things like understanding and
empathy are not needed in defense.

Is that so?

Yeah, since it's not like
we are going to be friends.

I wonder if she's
authorized here.

Well...

Probably.

Whoa...

It feels like it still
reeks of gasoline.

Yeah.

This is...

- Hm?
- Could this just be a coincidence?

Please take me the
Chofu station.

He was acting strange
from the beginning.

His hand seemed to be burnt.

Ah, stop.

Is it alright if
you rewind a bit?

Okay.

Okay, there.

Why did he opened
the window there?

Window?

Yes.

Did something smell?

Now that I think about it.

It smelled of gasoline.

Gasoline?

Isn't the wallet that smelled?

The one that he just
picked from his chest.

Ah...

Probably...

Right?

Good afternoon.

Yes?

Here.

Okay.

He has already confessed.

Isn't it better if you don't
do unnecessary things?

Okay, okay.

Ah, please don't remove them.

Ah, okay.

This is gasoline stain, right?

Has this been given
expert opinion already?

Yes.

That's indeed gasoline.

Then that means...

You can say that the gasoline

has already been poured when
this was stolen, right?

If that's the case,

this is not robbery with
homicide but murder and larceny.

You're going to go against robbery with
homicide with just a gasoline stain?

To doubt is already a
sufficient proof, isn't it?

If only if he didn't confess,

I could have attacked a
little more greatly.

It would have been better if it would
be influenced from the beginning.

Yeah... For now, let's bring the
letter we have to the factory.

And take care of the
bereaved family's emotions.

I will prepare the usual
Western-style restaurant.

Okay.

Ah right. It's about the motive.

Try to search around the area a
bit with the lines of a grudge.

Okay, understood.

But that Settsu left all
the decision making to me.

Coming.

Yes?

Ah.

I'm Shigemori, a lawyer.

I am defending Takashi Misumi.

I was entrusted to give his
letter to the bereaved family.

Ah, I'll call my mother now.

Okay.

If you'll excuse me.

I am Shigemori.

I deeply apologize for this.

Are you implying that I should forgive
him with just this one letter?

Our

family member was killed

and was burned.

Even at the funeral

we couldn't

even make our final farewell.

Mother.

He also

really regrets it.

I deeply apologize.

Excuse me...

Is there anything that Mr Misumi is
having a grudge against the president?

Wasn't he thankful for him? Since
the president gave him a job.

Yeah.

Did someone see them quarrel?

Well, it's about the salary.

Although his complaints
are said normally.

Sakurai, did you
messed up again?

No, you idiot! He's a
lawyer, not a cop.

Did you know that Mr Misumi had
a previous criminal record?

I knew.

Many are here.

Well, me too.

Ah.

Wanna hear what I did?

No.

The president was a good person.

That's because he
can use us cheaply.

If they have weakness, they would
not go against him after all.

Oh, I see.

Ah, thank you very much.

What happened?

Whoa, that's terrible.

To go that far...

Because this is
what happened now.

The victims thought they will
forgive him whatever he does.

As if they're saying why
are we covering him?

Because it's our job.

So what kind of course
should we take?

First, we will deny the
intent of the robbery.

Then, we will convince them
that it's a simple murder

and larceny rather than
robbery with homicide.

He didn't stole and
killed but rather

he killed, set the victim on
fire, then thought of stealing.

Well, there's the gasoline.

After he killed him, he returned
to the factory just to get it.

- Just to get it?
- Just to get it.

It would've been better if
he just made a run for it.

Then what is his
motive for killing?

I'm thinking it's
because of the salary.

It seemed like he was also
disagreeing with the salary.

Regardless of the
facts, as a defense,

we will apply those ideas
in that direction.

Like he bore a grudge
because of being fired.

What? A grudge? It's
kind of weak though.

Hmm?

Would killing
because of a grudge

makes the crime lighter than
the purpose of wanting money?

It's heavier if the
motive is money.

Well, to put it simply,
it was a selfish motive.

Even though he stilled
killed the same?

- Oh, that's a good question.
- Hm?

In cases of a grudge,

there is a thought that it was
unavoidable to hold a murderous intent.

But if the weight of
the crime is changed,

law is somehow strange.

Is it urgent?

Ah, yes. I'm her father.

What?

Hey.

I received the phone call.

Ah, you're her father?

Don't "hey" me.

It's normal, isn't it?

We were about to report
her to the police.

I apologize that my daughter
has caused you trouble.

I'm sorry.

You're a lawyer?

I'm currently handling quite
a great case of murder.

That's why we're having
difficulties at home.

That's probably why...

Yuka, I'm sorry.

I've neglected you.

Why didn't you
contact your mother?

I thought a lawyer would
be handy this time around.

Thank you very much.

Ah, hey, um... How is Nemo?

Ah... When was the last
time we talked about that?

Shall I send you a tank?

Is it a bother?

It's not.

It's dead.

Dead? All of them?

Yeah.

Why do you feel down?
It's just fish.

You didn't pour them
in the toilet, right?

You should properly
make a grave for them.

And you properly
should do this...

What?

You suddenly talk like a father.

What "like"? I'm your father.

Just now, okay?

Say, Yuka.

Why did you cry awhile ago?

I'm quite good at that.

See, look.

Amazing, isn't it? Almost
everybody gets deceived by it.

It's okay. Why don't
you answer it?

It's okay.

Answer it.

Ah, your girlfriend?

It's not, idiot.

It's Settsu.

Yeah?

Okay. Now?

Yeah, I can go.

I see. I haven't seen it.

Have he read this himself?

Yeah. it's sent to the
prison more or less.

Oh well, it's really troubling that
he selfishly talked like that.

Ah, I'm sorry.

Today's cold, isn't it?

You see, for today,

it's about this weekly
magazine that came out.

Ah...

Is this "monopolized
confession" true?

That the wife asked you,

then killed him so the motive is
to get the insurance benefits.

Ah... yes.

What? You said that?

Yes, probably.

Well, you said "probably"...

Mr Misumi.

Um, this is your bankbook.

There is 500 thousand yen deposit
at the beginning of October.

Besides your salary,
is this from the wife?

Yes, that's from the wife.

Then could this mean...

It's an advance payment
for compensation?

Yes.

Why didn't you tell us
about this from the start?

Even if I say it...

Well, maybe it's like this.

Maybe...

The reporters first
said regarding this.

I wonder about that.

This again.

How were you entrusted
with the murder?

Through text message
from the mobile phone.

Through text message?

Yes.

Around when?

Around two weeks
before I killed him.

You still have the text message?

Yes, p-probably.

Okay.

Wouldn't this kind of
conspiracy collaboration work?

- Really?
- Yeah.

Have you contacted with
the wife after the crime?

Yes, once in the public phone.

Then?

She said that I should
be silent about her.

And said she wouldn't harm me.

Could she actually have

a relationship with you?

Hmm...

From the weekly magazine
that came out yesterday,

a shocking new truth was
revealed regarding the

robbery with homicide case
of President of Kawasaki.

"Would it be possible to ask 500
thousand regarding the matter?"

"When do you need it?"

"Since I got debts to pay, at
the beginning of October."

"Understood. Leave it to me."

What do you think? Does it
look too much of a lie?

No.

If there is proof that
Misumi was handed money,

then it means it's a
criminal conspiracy.

It would work if the wife
is the main offender.

But if it would be as Misumi says that
he has a relationship with the wife,

this would be rather thick.

Did he admitted that?

Weren't he smiling? That look
on his face says they were.

It is not written
in words, though.

There's no mistaking
they were doing it.

I already knew that
once I saw her face.

But the wife didn't say she

entrusted the murder.

Let me see a bit.

- Okay.
- Yeah.

The prosecution wouldn't move because
of the text message, after all.

An independent crime has been prosecuted,
and there might be pride regarding it.

I'm saying this as a
former prosecutor.

But look.

"I wouldn't harm you
if you keep silent."

"That's what the wife
said.", written here.

But couldn't this be

about sexual relations and
not about the murder.

I wonder which is the truth. Is
it a grudge or insurance money?

But wouldn't that

be determined with the
benefits of the client?

Well, of course.

I guess it is like that
for court tactics.

Is there anything else we
can think of besides that?

Is there nothing else?

None.

We don't even know which
of them is the truth.

That's why we're going
to choose what's useful.

So, what will we do?

Should we boldly get on with it?

It would be a trial with a judge, after
all. Well, the circumstances may change.

At the very least, we would hesitate
if it would be death penalty.

From the defense counsel,
they have asked evidence

for the history of
mobile text messages.

I object.

What? Why do you object?

Do you mean that the contents of
mobile history cannot be trusted?

No.

It is not relevant.

What?

Well, it's not
objective evidence.

Could you at least agree
it would be of relevance?

Hm...

Well, we'll do that.

Then, it would accepted.

Then there is no dispute with
the criminal nature, right?

Yes, there is no dispute
with the criminal nature.

Whether the motive
is robbery is true

would be the point of issue.

Yes. We will be going against the
conclusion that it's robbery with homicide.

And as for the prosecutors,　you are
asking for witness applications of

the wife, Mrs Mizue, and
the daughter, Ms Sakie.

Yes.

Will the defense counsel
have comments on this?

Yes, appropriately.

Will the defense counsel
have witness application?

Yes.

We, the defense counsel, will also
apply for the wife, Mrs Mizue.

This is for the rebuttal of the
motive of robbery, isn't it?

Yes.

And the defendant's daughter, Ms
Megumi, will be the state witness.

Yes, that is the plan.

Will the prosecutors
have comments on this?

Eventually and appropriately.

And that is all
there to discuss.

Um, for the next
scheduled meeting...

I can't think you can depend on that
text message as an evidence for murder.

I think it's enough to be able to doubt
robbery with homicide with it though.

Don't you think he's
just saying that

he got afraid and was
pointed out by a stranger?

Don't you think the police
also had the impression

that it's robbery with homicide?

Because you are basing from
"reduction of penalty".

That's because we're
defense lawyers.

To think a defense
lawyer like you

would prevent criminals from
confronting their crime.

What?

What do you mean confronting
the wrongdoing?

Aren't you just turning your
eyes away from the "truth"?

Truth?

No, no, it's
somewhere near that.

Of course it's a given that our
stand points are different.

Okay?

- Hello.
- Hello.

- Thank you for waiting.
- Ah, thank you very much.

The house over there is
violating the land coverage.

Ah, there's no clearance at all.

The one living here
already had two wives.

There is a 12 year
age difference.

I see. I'm kinda envious.

It's troubling since their
voices are loud at night.

- This is it.
- Ah, thank you very much.

What kind of person
was Mr Misumi?

He's a good person. He even
properly takes out trash.

Ah, as requested, I've
properly left the sweater.

I wonder if it was delivered?
It was color green.

Yes, he was wearing it.

It's quite cold there, isn't it?

Well, nothing has
changed much here.

It still smell of molds when
windows are closed even in winter.

Excuse me.

Did this person ever
came here and visited?

Ah, I saw her on TV.

I never saw her here though.

She might have disguised though.

But I think he rarely
gets any visitors.

But there's a girl who
comes here sometimes.

- A girl?
- Yes, yes.

About what age was she?

Probably a high school
student, since she was wearing

a uniform. She's kind
have injury in her foot.

She walks like this.

How does she look?

She laughs a lot
with a lively voice.

Wasn't she his daughter?

I wonder.

Oh no, there's a spider.

Forget it, since
it's still daytime.

Ah, yeah, yeah.

The birds he were raising
died or something.

He especially asked if it's
alright to bury them downstairs.

Thank you very much for providing
things for me in prison.

Ah...

I thought you would like
that peanut butter.

Because there was
one in your room.

It's my favorite.

Bread is served twice
a week at noon.

Were you raising a bird?

Yes.

They were canaries.

It died since it became sick.

Did you bury it in a grave?

- Grave?
- Yes.

Under the window.

Yes.

I was curious because
the bird cage was big.

I tried digging it.

Five birds won't get sick on
the same time, won't they?

That's because...

Even if they were freed,

they cannot live anymore.

Only one bird

got away.

It's probably still cold.

I wonder how is it.

Like if it's eating.

Anyway,

I want to hear about the rent.

It's 38 thousand yen. Even though
it's small, there's a bath.

I heard this from the landlady.

The payment for rent
the succeeding month,

you always pay 10 days earlier.

Didn't you

planned to be caught
from the start?

You don't understand
anything, Mr Shigemori.

What?

I'm looking forward
to pay for the rent.

- Looking forward?
- Yes.

Because rent is not
needed in prison.

There is no special
reason besides that.

Mr Shigemori, let
me see your hand.

- Hand?
- Yes.

Like this.

You have a big hand.

Ah, don't remove it.

Just a little bit more and
I'll hand down some heat.

I...

could understand people more

doing like this instead
of talking directly.

Shall I make a guess?

I'll say what you're thinking.

Sure.

How old is she?

Your daughter?

14 years old.

I see.

Next will be the witness questioning
of the daughter of Misumi.

Well, if ever we find her.

After that would be the defendant's
questioning to Misumi.

This is the part that's hard.

Hey, shall we go to the
route that the principal

offense is done by the
wife until the end?

Yeah, I guess so.

This is not like you when you
look pitiful talking like that.

I can't sell the condo
as high as I thought.

You're thinking that?

I'm counting on you, Shigemori.

Whether Misumi will live or die

relies on "this" after all.

What's "this" you're talking
about, anyway? Stop that.

"This" is "this", right?

Stop that.

- Hey, Settsu.
- Yeah?

How much did you told
Misumi about me?

How much?

Well, I guess I told him
that we were in the same

year in the administration
of justice apprenticeship.

What about my daughter?

No, I don't think
I've told him that.

Huh? Why did you ask?

Did he mentioned
something about her?

No, then it's okay.

[ Hokkaido University ]

It looks like her foot was
like that since she was born.

But...

But?

The neighbors said that
when she was a child,

she jumped off from the roof of
the factory and got injured.

Why make such a lie?

I wonder.

What's the schedule
of Sakie on that day?

Ah...

Looks like she didn't left home
after returning from school.

Well, her foot is like that too.

That's why the prosecuting
side and the defense side

180 degree turn for psychiatric
examination is common.

Psychiatry is not
science but literature.

Is that the judgment criticism
that you're good at again?

Welcome back.

Hello.

This is the promised "Rumoi
case of robbery with homicide".

Ah.

I was surprised that you
contacted me out of the blue.

Ah, he's the former
Judge Shigemori.

- Ah, your father?
- Yeah.

Thank you very much.
This would be helpful.

It's alright if you
don't come yourself.

You could have just mailed it.

- What batch are you?
- 69.

Isn't it tough these days?
Defense lawyers have increased.

I'm completely relying
on Mr Shigemori.

- So you're a "lawyer borrowing a roof".
- Yes, that's right.

Did you know that
Attorney Shigemori

actually wanted to be a
judge when he was a child?

What? Really?

I can't imagine.

Could you stop talking
something so old like that?

What do you think
of a girl like her?

What?

She's very patient with
someone who got divorced.

I haven't decided
to divorce yet.

Then shall I bid for
candidacy ahead?

Hurry and leave already since you're
done with your business here.

No, I'm thinking of staying
here for 2-3 days.

- What?
- Do you know Hiro's

the Italian restaurant
"Bisboccia"?

I don't know.

So what are your
plans for tonight?

Shall I reserve you in a hotel?

Then a suite for two people.

You're funny.

He only just killed.

That's the motive?

Yes.

He had fun killing then
burned the victim.

There are people like
that who are like beasts.

But the sentence this time was

his unfortunate upbringing

and being poor as the reasons that
were highly made into consideration.

It was 30 years ago.

Because the idea that crime
was born from the society

still existed in the world.

You blame the times?

I was not really an advocate of
death penalty a long time ago.

Well...

With the result of my
kind judgment that time,

another person died again.

I am regretting it.

Listen.

There's a very deep gap

between someone who kills and
someone who cannot kill.

Whether that gap can be crossed

has been decided since
they were born.

That's a very arrogant
way of saying things.

Why don't you rehabilitate?

I can't believe you even
got this kind of postcard.

It's pretty arrogant to think that
humans would simply change like that.

Even this time,

he killed because he
wants money, right?

No.

I feel like he has a
different reason.

It's useless to understand
someone like him.

You don't say
"useless" for that.

Parents and their children
don't understand each other.

Still more for someone who
you're not related with.

Dearest Judge Shigemori,

It's been awhile since
I've heard from you.

I'm Takashi Misumi, the one who is
indebted in you from the court.

As I was released on
parole last year,

I am now working in a food
processing factory in Kawasaki.

Last week, it
snowed heavily here

that it reminded me of
my hometown in Hokkaido.

On my daughter's 4th birthday,

I made a large cake using snow.

Because my daughter was
not wearing mittens,

I gave one of mine.

My daughter made her hand so red

when she made a large
cake taller than her.

Even though it's cold,
it was a warm memory.

The next station would
be the last stop, Rumoi.

Once at Rumoi, all
the doors will...

During the last incident,

how old were you, Mr Shigemori?

What year was it?

1986.

Then I would have been a
second year in high school.

I see.

Do you remember this?

No.

Hokkaido is big after all.

No one knows some incident like
that from this small town.

He killed two debt collectors,
stole their money,

then proceeded with arsony
in an inhabited building.

It's surprising he didn't get
death sentence with that.

If the penalty was death
sentence that time,

I wouldn't feel guilty that there
will be another victim like this.

Your father would angry
when he hears that.

That is what the
former judge said.

We arrested him on
January 22nd, 1986.

The Rumoi main line stopped
because there was a heavy snow.

It was a cold evening.

Did you, Mr Watanabe,
arrested Misumi?

Yeah.

The next day after the incident,

I found him sitting

on the station bench.

What was his motive
of the murder?

It has became a grudge.

Became?

To be honest, I don't
understand it much.

During interrogation, what
he's saying always changes.

Ever since the coal mine
disappeared, traders

flooded this neighborhood.

And then the yakuzas lent money
with high interest rates.

They all look scary.

Ah, we're fine here.

Well, I guess the defense
lawyers thought that

he can avoid death
sentence with a grudge?

Wasn't there a personal grudge?

There was no grudge

or hatred towards
Takahashi himself.

On the contrary, it is weird.

It seems like

an empty vessel.

Mr Shigemori, a car is coming.

Ah.

"World down".

"Clown", "Hitomi", "Musca".

Hey, hey, isn't it that?

- Ah, that's it.
- Okay.

Have your father
contacted you recently?

Like he sent you money.

Yukari, have you heard Megumi
said anything from her father?

I heard her talking about someone
she calls "Papa" though.

You idiot. That's not it. I'm
talking about her real father.

Good morning.

Until what time
were you drinking?

I've been drinking
until 5 o'clock.

Your face is all bulging.

Shut up. We went to karaoke.

It went well with Ken yesterday.

Megumi... Ms Megumi.

Do you know where she went, Sir?

I don't know at all.

Well, even if I do know,
I won't tell you.

Please don't say
that and tell us.

With her testimony,

the death sentence may
be dropped indefinitely.

"I want him dead."

"I want him dead as
soon as possible."

That's what she said.

Police came from Tokyo
right after the incident,

and she was unable to live
in this town anymore.

How long does a child have to
bear the sin of her children?

You should have told me
earlier if you were going.

As a witness,

we considered calling
your daughter in.

She won't for the sake of me.

She wants me to be dead as
soon as possible after all.

There are things she
doesn't want to remember.

Please understand that.

But you know,

I think there are
things one must

face properly.

"Face"?

Yes.

Is that everyone is doing?

Don't they?

They don't. That's because...

I cannot live without pretending
not to see many things.

This time

you're regretting that you killed
the president, aren't you?

"Regret"?

Yes.

That's because

you also wrote it in the letter.

That's　because

the other lawyer said
I should write it.

Mr Misumi.

I don't care about
you really feel.

But you must not be in that
kind of attitude at the court.

I understand.

Since it's going to
be a juror trial.

I know that but...

I think that it's normal to
kill that kind of person.

- Normal?
- Yes.

Why do you think that?

There are people in
the world who are

better not born.

Well, even if you say that.

Killing would not
settle everything.

Aren't you all settling
things like that?

Are you talking about
death sentence with that?

That would be for today...

There's no one.

There's no one like that.

There's no one who
are better not born.

We're done.

But...

He seemed like a
different person.

Who?

I'm talking about Misumi.

Hey.

Yes?

Awhile ago,

you said that there is no one
who are better not born.

Yes.

Are you seriously thinking that?

Yes.

Don't you think like that?

Well.

I don't think like that.

What? Why?

Regardless of human will,

isn't life being sorted out?

Hm? What do you mean?

In places where one's
will is irrelevant,

people are born,

and unreasonably,

life is being snatched away.

Welcome.

That's delicious, isn't it?

Meals were provided with
that a long time ago.

I struggled to get that
when it's a holiday.

It comes with around
this much of a vinyl.

Do you want anything from me?

You went to Mr Misumi's
apartment, didn't you?

You wanted to hear that?

But one wouldn't
normally go there.

What is "normal"?

Sorry.

I was wrong to ask.

No, I'm sorry.

Have you heard about
Mr Misumi's family?

No.

He has one daughter.

It seems like they haven't
seen each other for 30 years.

But his daughter

also had a problem with
her feet like you.

That's why I thought
that's how two got along.

I see.

You didn't heard it from him.

There's evidence that you
two were seen in the

karaoke place in front
of Noborito station.

That's the company
year-end party, isn't it?

You were not alone?

Of course, that's too silly.

It's about the insurance
money, Ms Mitsue!

You're the recipient, right?

Are you alright?

Turn off the lights, the lights.

Because we can be
seen from outside.

Why are they accusing
me of being his lover.

That's so baseless.

It's dangerous.

That kind of thing
happened to your father.

You're the only one I
can rely on, Saki.

This pan really became old.

It's now rough.

If you go to the
university in Hokkaido,

I might die of loneliness.

You won't die just
because you're lonely.

You're not a rabbit after all.

I wonder why I don't
have insurance money.

Why do you think?

You're worried about
money this time?

I wonder if they were thinking
that I really asked him to kill.

Even the insurance company.

If you're really that worried,
better tell them the truth.

"That money is not a
request for murder."

"It's food fraud..."

How foolish.

If I said that,

the factory will be closed.

If we're earning money
from such a dirty job,

it's better if it gets closed.

What are you saying
as if you're a child?

With that "dirty" money,

you were able to grow
up with it until now.

I know.

You are also going to
talk in the court.

Okay?

Don't say unnecessary things.

Understood?

What unnecessary things?

What are those
unnecessary things?

I've told you.

Things about the factory.

Or things about your father.

What do you mean?

Things about father?

It's not bad to just tell things

apart from your father.

Yes, hello?

Hello?

Ah, Yuka.

You know, I'm a little
busy at the moment.

Did you do something again?

I didn't.

I see.

Then it's alright.

Will you come again if
something happened?

Will you?

Yeah, I will.

Won't you make a face
that you don't care?

I won't. I'll come and help you.

But

if you

did something bad on purpose...

It's alright.

It's really alright.

Sorry, okay.

About what?

I'm sorry.

We should get together...

More...

I think the prosecution
side are sure

will insist that it was
"robbery with homicide".

But please resist that.

And as practiced earlier, the defense
side will question the accused.

And will be said, "You didn't intend
to snatch the wallet from the start".

Understood.

Also, the principal
offender would be the wife.

We will say that she
requested you to murder.

Okay.

Okay.

Excuse me.

Do you believe that,
Mr Shigemori?

What?

Like the larceny and
the insurance money.

Do you think we would win with
that even if you don't believe it?

There is that aspect　as well.

For tactics in the court.

What do you think is the truth
why I killed, Mr Shigemori?

The truth?

Yes, my true motive.

Are you not bothered
with what's the truth?

That's not it.

Then please tell me.

Then...

Please let me ask you one thing.

For a hint, right? Go ahead.

What is the meaning
of that cross?

Weren't you just
trying to judge?

Judge?

Yes.

With the sin.

What kind of?

I do not know.

Hm...

I'm not the one who is judging.

Because I'm the one
always being judged.

Didn't I mention that only one
canary got away awhile back?

Yes.

I purposely

let that go freely.

Is there someone like me,

who plays with a person's life?

If there is, I want to meet him.

Meet him and say that

it's unreasonable.

But...

It's not that you meet him
because you're unreasonable.

My father and my mother,

even my wife.

They're unhappy and died even though
they didn't do anything wrong.

But I'm still here, alive.

Their will has nothing
to do with it.

Life is being sorted out.

Unreasonably.

That kind of saying...

No.

Why did you

sent a postcard to
the presiding judge?

I admired him.

He can freely choose
a person's life.

It's court 404.

Please let the accused come in.

Please release him.

Please stand up.

We will now have the
court in session.

The accused, please go
in front of the stand.

State your name.

I am Takashi Misumi.

When is your birthday.

December 1, 1959.

We will now proceed with the trial
with which you are accused of

robbery with homicide involving
the case of a death and damage.

Now prosecutors, please
read aloud the indictment.

Yes, your honor.

The accused fact.

The accused is first thought to murder
and robbed the money and goods of

Mitsuo Yamanaka, who at
that time was 50 years old.

On October 11, 2017, at
around 00:30 in the morning,

at the Tamagawa riverbed,

hit the victim's head several
times with a wrench...

I will ask the accused.

Is there anything wrong
with the contents of

the indictment the
prosecutors have just read?

There is.

I didn't killed just
to get his wallet.

I killed him because I was
asked by the wife, Ms Mitsue.

Your honor.

For the witness to remember,

I would like to show evidence
number one where on September 27,

the witness has sent the
accused a text message.

Would that be alright?

Go ahead.

I will inquire about
this text message.

What do you mean when
you said "the matter"?

What I'm saying is,
it's about the work.

What kind of work?

I don't know. I don't
really remember...

Um, because my husband did
everything to manage the factory.

Could it be just stocking
up or something?

The 500 thousand yen

is different from the
salary, isn't it?

You wouldn't write something like
this if it's just for stocking up.

I don't know.

My husband used my mobile
phone and sent it.

Are you implying that the
accused had the selfish

impression that it's a
request for murder?

Is it not?

Um, please ask the
person himself.

I don't understand it much.

If the murder was successful,

didn't you promise to send the
accused 10 million yen from the

80 million yen insurance money?

I didn't.

Isn't the 50 thousand
yen an advance payment?

That's not true.

Around 10PM on October
13 last year,

two days after that crime...

Where is this?

It's that riverbed.

Why were you two there?

Mr Misumi was having a bonfire.

I happen to pass by on
my way home from school.

When I said it was my birthday,

he said that we make
a cake using snow.

We talked after then.

With this?

Yes.

Around when

did your father, um...

When I was 14.

In other words...

that is a "sexual assault"?

Yes.

Ah... so it's "rape".

Yes.

Mr Misumi

did it for me...

That's why

there is nothing going on
with Mr Misumi and my mother.

That is something you want to
tell in the court room, right?

Yes.

To save Mr Misumi.

Yes.

You actually didn't ask Mr
Misumi to kill him, right?

But

I had the desire that my father would
get killed somewhere within my heart.

I have imparted it to Mr Misumi.

How did you imparted it?

I have imparted it.

I know.

Where did you have that
kind of relationship?

What do you mean...

Like in a hotel, or a
house, or in this riverbed.

Shigemori, stop that.
If we ask that now...

Isn't this important?

The prosecutors will
surely ask that.

They'll ask places and
the number of times.

I am ready.

The prosecutors

will do what they can to make
your testimony not credible.

Like an ordinary friendship,

And even if you shoplifted
or if you were guided.

They will investigate everything like
that and make it clear in the courtroom.

Okay.

And also about your foot.

Foot?

Yes.

There is a lie going around

that when you were a child, you
jumped from the roof and got injured.

It's not a lie.

I really jumped.

Anyway,

they will persistently ask
you those sort of things.

Can you able to stand it?

It's going to be painful.

Will you be okay?

It's more painful now.

It's more painful
that I wasn't able

to talk to anyone about it.

We will contact you again.

Okay.

Let me give you candy.

Since the stairs are
steep, be careful.

Excuse me!

Thank you for talking to us.

But...

Why?

I just

don't want to be like my mother

who pretends not to see things.

Can't sleep?

I can say the same to you.

I woke up because it's cold.

Don't get sick now,
since you're old.

Shut up.

You know,

there is an old tale
from China or somewhere.

There is a tale where all
of the people who can't see

would touch an elephant.

Ah...

That's the tale where the
one who touches the nose

and the one who touches the ears

are quarreling and
saying who is right.

Yeah, that, that.

Yeah.

Aren't you feeling
like that right now?

You're probably right.

But

I wonder

where I am touching right now?

Was I judged?

Or was I saved?

Hello.

Sorry for coming this late.

It's perfect timing
because I can't sleep.

I came because for
Ms Sakie's case.

Do you remember this?

This was taken on February 15th of
last year, when it snowed hard.

It's a picture you've taken
with Ms Sakie in that riverbed.

It was the time when

she confessed to you

that her father kept raping her.

I don't remember.

I see.

But

you remember this, don't you?

Ah...{(三隅) ああ…

It's the postcard you
sent to my father.

The date says it's February 20th,
5 days after this picture.

For you,

Ms Sakie is a replacement
of your daughter, isn't it?

You killed Ms Sakie's father

to save her.

You speculated her
murderous intent.

Did that girl say that?

That's a lie

A lie?

Mr Shigemori.

She's someone who
always make up lies.

Why would she

make up a lie to save you?

Please ask the person herself.

Then could you please
tell me one more thing?

Okay.

It's about the day of the crime.

Okay.

How did you take the
president in the riverbed?

- How?
- Yes.

But you got fired...

Well, you said that.

Normally, one wouldn't
follow someone like you.

I told him I had something
important to tell him.

What is this important matter?

It was about the fraud.

Fraud?

Food fraud.

Once a month,

wheat flour, where I don't know
exactly where they come from,

are carried in secret.

They were bought
at almost no price

and were being switched.

It's a dirty job.

Then, where did you get
that 500 thousand yen?

It's the money I
received from that work.

Huh? Why did you

lie with that?

Are you trying to judge

that mother?

Did you pretend not to
see what was happening

with the father
and the daughter?

Mr Shigemori.

What?

No.

You won't believe me anyway.

No, please tell me.

What is it?

It was a lie.

Lie?

Yes.

I didn't go to the riverbed.

What?

The truth is,

I didn't kill him.

Y-you didn't kill him?

The truth is, I didn't kill him.

Wait.

Why would you tell that now?

Why didn't you deny it
from the beginning?

I did.

I said that I didn't do it.

I told the detective,
the prosecutor,

and even the defense lawyer.

Even the defense lawyer?

Yes.

When I first came to jail.

To Settsu?

Yes.

But he said I shouldn't lie.

He said that if I admit it,
it won't be a death sentence.

But...

But no matter if it won't
be a death sentence,

if you admitted it...

But I feel easier

in a prison where
people don't lie

than in a factory where they
take advantage of people.

Would you believe me?

Mr Shigemori?

But,

until now, it's
already thoroughly...

That is...

Well, even if you asked me
to believe you this time...

I know.

Please hold on.

Just like I thought...

Just like I thought, you
wouldn't believe me.

No, Mr Misumi. Did
someone came here?

Did someone came to see you?

Hey.

No, only you, Mr Shigemori.

Come on.

Come on!

Please tell me the
truth this time!

It's alright. They can't hear.

What about the wallet?

Hey, what about the wallet?

You stole it, right?
You stole it, right?

Yes, I stole it on the
day of the crime.

I threatened the president
that I will expose the fraud.

What about the money?

I sent it to my daughter.

What about that burn?

I made a bonfire
the night before.

What about that riverbed?

I told you, I didn't go!

I see.

You didn't go. You
told me that before.

Do you believe me?

You are

my client after all.

I respect your intentions.

However...

However, it is a tactical
disadvantage to deny it here!

Who cares about tactics!

I'm asking if you
believe me or not!

I understand.

Do you understand now?

You're sure about this?

You're really sure?

Yes.

That's ridiculous! What?
He said that?

Yeah.

He said that it won't be a death
sentence if he confessed.

He said the defense
lawyer said that.

Ignore him already.

He'll probably change what
he said again after all.

I also think we should
prioritize Sakie's testimony.

But if we do that,

it means we recognize
Misumi's criminal nature.

Who would believe that
he hasn't done it now?

But there are no witnesses?
Right?

After all, the basis of the
prosecutors are only his confession.

He said he got scared.

When the trial has begun,

the death sentence has
suddenly become realistic.

That's pretty common.

No, no, he's not like that.

How can you know?

I know that much.

This is somehow dangerous.

Dangerous?

This is...

This is what he has done already.
Shigemori, take a look. Come on.

Could this be done
by a decent human?

This kind of father
deserved to be killed!

Deserved?

It's just like that
prosecutor said.

A defense lawyer like you

prevents criminals from
facing their crime.

You'll lose, you know.

Besides, you'll give a very
bad impression to the judge.

But you know...

Besides that the person
himself denies it,

shouldn't the defense
lawyer follow that claim?

Please line up in two.

A witness interrogation with the
victim's bereaved family is happening...

Many people are seeking
sightseeing tickets,

that there is a long line.

Will the truth of the
incident will be clear...

A notable trial will begin soon.

Denial?

Yeah.

He said he didn't kill him.

What?

That's why

we don't want to make you
say in the courtroom,

the parts where you
want to save him.

Sorry.

I will say it.

Hmm...

Hmm...

Okay...

Sorry.

Please let me say

everything about the truth.

Hm...

Is what you want to say

to satisfy

your own justice?

No.

So you want to save Mr Misumi?

Yes.

If that's the case,

isn't it right

to think about it the most?

What do you feel with
the accused right now?

Your precious father
was brutally murdered

for the sake of money, isn't it?

I think Mr Misumi

didn't kill for the
sake of money.

I'm going to change
the question.

What kind of punishment

do you wish to the accused?

I do not wish for
death sentence.

Is there anything you want to
say about your deceased father?

There is none?

I am thankful that he
gave birth and raised me.

At the night of October 11,

didn't you ambush the president who came
home from the taxi in front of the factory?

Yes.

Why did you do that?

I thought of threatening
him to steal money.

Since I got fired
and got desperate.

What did you do with the wallet?

I took the wallet.

But that is all I did.

I didn't go to the riverbed.

I didn't kill him.

This case is based
on the assumption

that there is no dispute in
the nature of the crime.

- I told you, I didn't do it!
- Because the defense side...

- Because the defense side
contests the nature of the

crime, - Then the prosecutor
even went to the toilet.

If this were to be questioned,

I was told that I would not get a
death sentence if I acknowledged it.

I'd like to arrange due dates.

Please be silent.

- That's why I admitted...
- Why did the defense

asked this kind of question?

Everyone ganged up on me.

Because the accused

is denying the criminality,

Even the defense lawyer said that I
should recognize it without denying it.

We will oppose the
nature of the crime.

And said I'll be
saved if I do that.

I ask the accused be silent.
Order in the court.

Because nobody believes
what I'm saying.

I want to say

the truth now, right here.

Your honor.

I didn't kill him.

- Excuse us.
- Come in.

Defense council, what do you
intend on doing with this?

The point of the case has been assessed
with the intention of robbery, hasn't it?

The testimony of the accused
has suddenly changed.

What is your objective in
the defense side from now

on? Would you go against
the case of the crime?

We will stop doing it
from the defense side.

No, we will go against it.

Which is it?

It's no use to do that
from now, Shigemori.

We will go against the
nature of the crime.

Prosecutors, what is
your opinion on this?

Since the nature of the crime wasn't
the point of issue originally,

so the trial must be
done all over again.

Defense council,

the nature of the crime just
is being added to the issue.

Ah, umm... if we
continue like this...

I understand the opinion
of the prosecutors.

But well, I know it's an opinion
that has just been said.

The defense council wishes
to continue after all.

There are conditions
as a judge too.

No. If there are no valid arguments and
proof of the nature of the crime...

But...

Alright.

Well...

It's not a denial
that has basis.

Well, if that would be the case,

it would not hurt the
litigation business.

Litigation business...

Then the prosecution
side would request

the objective proof of
the nature of the crime.

The trial would
proceed like this.

I thought the trial would be
redone from the beginning.

Well, it looks like it
won't be like that.

Looks like everyone
is exchanging looks.

And it felt like everyone
is thinking the same thing.

The judge showed signs that

the conclusion won't change
even if we redo everything.

Nobody would believe that Misumi
actually didn't kill him after all.

There's no helping it.

Even the judge

will have his evaluation echoed unless he
does not do as many times as scheduled.

Even though our positions
are different,

everyone is riding on the same
ship of judicial judgment.

Here. Food, food.

Hm?

Come on.

Come on, come closer.

Come on.

Come on, here, here.

Eat.

Come on.

- Misumi.
- Yes?

- Go on.
- Hello.

Hello.

If it's a girl, I'm
gonna call her Pinky.

Pinky is kind of cute.

I will now announce the judgment

of the case where the
suspect is accused of

robbery with homicide
of the damaged corpse.

Written here, the accused is
punished with death sentence.

With the reason the accused

denied the nature of the crime
only after being on trial,

the rationality will
not be recognized.

Among the accused's
explanations,

the explanation that he threatened
to get the wallet of the victim,

is a part of inconsistency
with the objective evidence,

that it cannot be credible.

For the matter of the text
message　investigation,

until now, it is not acknowledged
that there were no remarks

that suggested the the
accused and the witness,

Mitsue, implied the
murder of the victim.

The contents of the text message was
not clear regarding the murder.

It cannot be speculated that
it is a request for killing.

In addition to the above, the accused
confessed during the investigation stage.

And upon the trial, denied it starting
with an unreasonable explanation.

And he's diligently avoiding
the responsibility...

Thank you very much.

I'm sorry.

It's just like

what he said.

No one here speaks the truth.

No one?

Who decides

who to judge?

The cherry blossoms

in front of my condo,

have buds this big

and will soon blossom.

The cherry blossoms here
blossom early, isn't it?

But in Hokkaido,

they blossom around the end
of April, aren't they?

That's right.

It's the season where
carp streamers are shown.

Yes...

I've always been
thinking the reason

why you denied the crime.

If you deny the murder,

she...

Ms Sakie does not need to make
a heart-breaking testimony.

That's what I thought.

That's what I thought, that's
why you purposely denied it.

Mr Shigemori.

Is that a question for me?

Did it became a question?

Is it alright if I asked
you one question?

Did you come up with my denial

with that way of thinking?

Yes.

Am I wrong?

But...

It's a good way of saying it.

That's a good way of saying it.

I've always thought that it's
better if I was never born.

Why, may I ask?

I give pain.

I give pain to others
with just existing.

If what you just said is true,

even someone like me

have become useful to someone.

Even if...

you are a murderer?

Yes.

If only if it's true, though.

That is...

Then does that mean...

That I just wanted...

to believe it?

You mustn't do that,
Mr Shigemori.

You mustn't expect someone
like me who's a murderer.

Are you...

just a...

tool?

What do you mean just a tool?
