I'm finishing up for today.

Good job today.

Right, Amamiya.

We should eat together sometimes.

There's this case I want to finish by today.

I see.

Hey.

Yes?

If you keep studying, you'll dry up.

I won't dry up.

Doing this is fine, but sometimes...

Thank you.

I'm going.

Amamiya.

It's just you and me tonight.

What?

- Amamiya! - Wait!

- I love you! - Wait!

- I can't take it anymore! - Stop it!

- Hot! - Seriously!

Prosecutor Kuryu?

Do you want to take a walk?

Aren't you cold?

- I love you. - What?

I do.

- Sometimes... - Thank you.

- Amamiya! - Wait!

That's called frustration?

You haven't had a boyfriend in two months.

Aren't you lonely?

It feels like there's no moisture.

As if you've dried up.

Poor thing!

Should we sit down?

(Are you frustrated?)

(Are you indecisive?)

(Politics)

You've been skimping recently.

What?

Things are slowly becoming worse.

The restaurants and presents.

And the way you kiss.

You're overthinking.

Then what was with the restaurant we went to yesterday?

That beef...

Good morning.

I'll pursue that point at the next trial.

Make sure you get a guilty verdict.

Okay.

I love you.

Frustrated?

He finally did it.

Really?

Now, he is deep into it.

Poor thing.

What are you talking about?

The real reason...

behind Detective Mutou's transfer to the countryside.

- Do you know? - What is the real reason?

Actually...

An affair?

He just promised his lover that he would divorce his wife.

Then things became messy.

- That's all? - He will probably...

be there all his life.

You know how much the press loves a scandal involving the police.

We're at a critical juncture in Congressman Misaki's trial.

Now is the best time.

Make sure not a single mistake is made.

I'll leave it to you.

Leave it to us.

Please rest assured.

To the countryside for the rest of his life.

Mutou did a stupid thing.

Do you mean the whole affair...

or the promise that he would divorce his wife?

I mean causing so much trouble for the people around him.

I don't get what you mean,

but make sure to keep it a secret.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Good... - What?

You should clean your glasses.

It's dirty.

I'll get you your coffee.

- I didn't ask you to. - Kuryu.

- What? - We should talk.

- Sit. - We do that all the time.

What's the matter?

Detective Mutou from Special Investigations.

He has been having an affair.

- Affair? - You said to keep it a secret.

Please keep it a secret.

He already promised, so he should just get on with the divorce.

- That's right. - It's easier said than done.

- Of course. - It's not easy at all.

So, his lover was just his plaything?

Of course!

I think Mutou was probably seriously in love with his mistress.

No way.

Affairs are unforgivable. It's the worst.

Worst?

The absolute worst.

That doesn't sound convincing coming from someone...

who has never even been in love.

Any comment on that?

Anything?

You're going to end up very frustrated.

I see. Your turn.

Please don't be so rude.

I do have a boyfriend.

- A boyfriend? - What did you say?

Are you announcing it now?

I just arrived.

So what...

- I'm in an adult relationship! - No way.

I'm sorry, Kuryu. Looks like...

He even has a wife.

A wife?

Wait.

Is that true?

Absolutely!

So it wasn't Egami?

- How could it be me? - Goodness.

No way.

Amamiya, you're kidding, right?

- Let go! - Wait!

It burns!

- It burns! - Hey!

- It hurts! - Clean that up.

A case of physical injury caused by an affair.

Yaguchi Toru.

On January 24 at 11pm,

you were with your wife, Mikiko,

and your mistress, Kawahara Asami, at the living room of your home.

The three of you talked about your relationship,

and it became an argument.

You dashed to the kitchen and got a knife.

Then you slashed your wife's arm.

It will take three weeks for her to recover.

Is that what happened?

That's not it at all.

What?

It was my wife who held the knife.

She hurt herself with it.

(Episode 5)

Then why did she say that it was you who did it?

I don't understand women.

That's strange.

Kawahara Asami also testified.

It was you who took the knife.

She was trying to stop you from attacking your wife.

They're both lying.

Why would two women fighting over you...

testify against you?

As I said, I don't understand women.

Wouldn't they protect the man they love?

I said I didn't do anything!

We should prosecute him, right?

- Wait, sir! - What's with you suddenly?

- He has overstepped the line. - Sit down!

Sorry.

She's very irritable today.

- Prosecutor Kuryu. - What?

Sorry.

Hello?

Your suit looks great.

- Chief. - Where did you get it from?

What really happened to him?

What?

Mutou who was transferred.

It has become very serious.

In what way?

No idea.

Do you want me to find out?

I'm not really that interested.

I won't then.

It's not something we should even be discussing.

Maybe you should find out more.

As a prosecutor,

understanding women is part of my job.

Please sit down.

We should talk about things sometimes.

If you're troubled, you can talk to me.

Troubled?

You're troubled, aren't you?

Well, yes...

I knew it.

What?

Then...

Tonight at six then.

I don't think I can make it at six.

The mistress has gone back home to Chiba,

- so we're going there. - It's okay.

Whether it's seven or eight o'clock,

- I'll be waiting for you. - Okay.

Regarding Mutou's affair,

is it true that his lover did it on purpose?

"Pittanko Kan Kan"? What an old move.

So, what was her motive?

Can you get me more details?

I'll leave it to you.

Why are you making phone calls in the toilet?

There's no helping it. I can't discuss it openly.

It seems like the mistress...

is related to one of the police chiefs.

That's why he got transferred.

I don't get women at all.

She could have chosen a single man.

And wasn't Amamiya's confession shocking?

I thought she was dating Egami.

- Not at all. - Really?

Amamiya isn't interested in him at all.

- Really? - Yes.

It's one-sided from Egami.

Just like a clown.

A clown?

So it was the mistress who disclosed the affair?

You want to know that bad?

No. I don't.

You're afraid that the same thing will happen to you.

What are you saying?

I'm not a coward.

You've been asking Endo for more details.

I'm disappointed.

Wait!

Should we go?

Don't you think it's strange?

What?

His lover, Kawahara Asami.

She loved him so much that she went to his house.

But after this incident, her feelings changed...

and she didn't love him anymore.

Then she just told us everything.

Isn't that weird?

If she's lying,

she would be a criminal.

She wouldn't ruin her life just for the sake of love.

Did you say "just"?

Yes, I did.

I think there's a lot of people...

who would ruin their life for the sake of love.

Those people are idiots.

That's a bit harsh.

They have no motivation in their lives,

so they put everything on the line for love.

Hey, can you sit down?

- We don't have time. - It's fine. Sit.

Just sit. Hurry.

Okay.

Amamiya Maiko.

What kind of man is your boyfriend?

- What? - I'm interested in knowing.

I don't need to tell you that.

I see.

- You're lying, aren't you? - Why would I?

- Let's go! - Wait.

- I have to be back by seven. - What?

- Fine. - Okay, let's go.

- All right! - Let's go.

This is great!

The winter sea is just as beautiful.

We can forget about the busy Tokyo for a while.

Do you want to take a walk?

Aren't you cold?

I love you.

- Should we take a walk? - What?

Aren't you cold?

- Not at all! - It's cold.

How thick is your skin?

Look over there.

The hotel is the one with the green roof.

That's Kawahara Asami's family business.

Over there.

Where did Egami go?

Hello?

Can you gather some information...

on the witch trials during Medieval Europe?

What?

Get me 700 example cases by the end of today.

By the end of today?

Sorry to make you come here.

When did you come back here?

Three days after that incident.

I have no feelings for Yaguchi anymore.

I'd like to ask you once more.

Why did you go to Mr. Yaguchi's house that night?

He left his journal at my place.

I went to return it.

- Just for that? - I also wanted...

to see his place.

He had never invited me before.

Did you not know that he was married?

I had a suspicion.

But he told me he was single.

I wanted to believe him.

As soon as his wife saw you,

she figured out your relationship immediately, right?

She even said she wanted a divorce.

They started arguing.

Anger got to his head,

and he took the knife.

Then he cut his wife's arm?

Yes.

It's as the statement says.

Nothing is out of place.

Ms. Kawahara,

if what you say is true,

Mr. Yaguchi will be prosecuted for physical harm tomorrow.

I'm telling the truth.

Okay.

I got it.

Thank you.

Please take care.

- Thank you. - Sorry.

Does this take notes?

I'll give you some change.

- It's fine. - I'll give him some.

Yes.

- Sorry. - Not at all.

- Here you go. - Sorry to trouble you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you for coming here.

Not at all.

Kuryu?

Kuryu, let's go.

Okay.

We can catch the express train in 42 minutes.

I'll grab a taxi.

I think I'll stay a night.

What?

We came all the way here.

It feels like a waste to go back to Tokyo so soon.

I have to meet Chief.

What a strong wind!

Kuryu, please wait!

It was a photo sticker.

Photo sticker?

Mutou had a photo of his family stuck on the back of his phone.

His lover took it off without his knowledge.

Then?

Mutou went back home.

I'm getting anxious.

The climax is coming right up.

- So? - All right.

When Mutou took off his jacket, his wife asked,

"Darling, are you going to shower?"

Of course he couldn't say that he already had one.

He wouldn't even use the soap provided by the hotel.

While Mutou was taking his second shower,

his phone rang.

- No... - Yes, it was the mistress.

And her contact was on the screen.

That's the worst!

His wife picked up the phone.

She saw the woman's name and number on the screen.

"Hello, this is Mutou's phone."

The mistress said, "Right!" and hung up the phone.

How scary! Terribly scary!

And when his wife flipped the phone,

all colors were lost from her face.

The photo sticker of the family should have been there.

Wasn't it taken off?

No, there was a photo.

Instead of the family photo...

Instead of that?

(Kawahara)

I feel so relaxed. This is roasted green tea, right?

What do you mean by relaxed?

We're supposed to go back to Tokyo.

Why are we sitting at this little heating table?

Little heating table?

Little heating table. How cute.

Kuryu, we have confirmed her statement.

There was no mistake.

What else is there to do?

Relax and drink some tea.

We only have a few photos.

Sorry to trouble you. Thank you.

- I'll take a look. - Sure.

It's so windy today.

To think that she would have an affair...

She wasn't someone who would do that.

Asami isn't the suspect.

She likes these kinds of subdued clothes.

- It suits her. - Yes.

She has always been a very gentle and kind girl.

I wouldn't imagine her to be with a married man.

Prosecutor,

will Asami be punished?

No, not at all.

Then, why do you want to see her pictures?

That...

What are you trying to do?

Ma'am.

Yes.

May I have another cup of roasted green tea?

Yes.

- Can I have an orange too? - Go ahead.

Sit down.

Amamiya is your paralegal.

Did you know about her affair?

Does her lover work here?

If that's the case, I'll have to transfer her.

Is that because she's a woman?

I didn't mean that!

The man should be held accountable too.

You could also be transferred because you're her boss.

I won't accept that the blame is on the woman.

Excuse me.

I didn't mean that at all.

Wait...

Hello.

The questioning took some time. We'll come back now.

But I don't think we can make it by seven.

It's fine no matter how late it gets.

I also need time to gather my thoughts.

My stomach!

What?

(Ishiwata Bus Stop)

The bus will be here soon.

I'm not going back.

What?

I'm staying over.

Staying?

It still feels strange.

What is?

I think Kawahara Asami is lying.

- Lying? - Yes.

She said it was Yaguchi who took the knife.

Was that a lie?

I think she still has feelings for Yaguchi.

She said she didn't love him anymore.

We saw her pictures, right?

Everything she owned and wore was sedate and calm.

- So what? - So...

So...

Her wallet.

Her wallet?

It was a black Versace wallet.

That doesn't suit her.

I thought so too.

Maybe that wallet was a gift from Yaguchi.

Or they bought a matching one.

It was a black Versace wallet.

It's not to her taste at all.

It's more to Yaguchi's taste.

But she is still using that wallet.

Isn't that weird?

Maybe she is using it because she likes the wallet.

Maybe...

If it's as what you said,

- it makes even less sense. - Why?

If she still loved him, she wouldn't testify against him.

Maybe...

it's because she loves him...

that she is testifying against him.

Why?

When it comes to love, nothing really makes sense.

- Let's go back to Tokyo. - Wait.

I get your point,

but what I'm saying is possible too.

Right?

Come on.

The charges won't be filed until tomorrow.

We have a day to ourselves.

Why don't we investigate?

I think you just want to relax here.

What?

- You could tell? - Kuryu!

You can go back by yourself.

Chief is waiting for you, right?

- I will be going now. - Okay.

Good luck. He's probably going to question you about your boyfriend.

My boyfriend?

He's very persistent.

Aren't affairs the hot topic between them right now?

You'll be questioned since you're having one.

Goodness.

Sorry?

We've decided to stay the night.

We came all the way here.

It feels like a waste to go back so soon.

And Mr. Yaguchi's custody is until tomorrow.

If you remember something, please let us know.

I will.

So...

- Do you have one... - Two rooms?

- Please wait a moment. - Sorry.

Thank you.

Can't you see how many shoes there are?

- I don't want to share a room. - Don't be selfish.

Unfortunately, we have only one room tonight.

What?

I've gathered 200 cases so far on the witch trials.

Only 500 more. Keep it up.

Hey!

Can you help me with my problem, Ace?

Ace?

I've got a stomachache and a headache.

You're the only one who can help me.

Suetsugu.

That's enough. Thank you. You can go home now.

Really? Thank goodness!

- Please sit down. - Okay.

So, what's the problem?

It's Amamiya.

We may have a problem with her and Kuryu.

What?

"Something is strange."

"I'll be staying a night."

Who said that?

Kuryu, of course.

And they'll be sharing a room!

Sharing a room?

Sharing a room...

They'll do it for sure.

Of course. It would be weird if they didn't.

They must have used the investigation...

as an excuse to take a trip.

What happened to Amamiya?

I'll be going.

- Where are you going? - What?

What? You still have 500 more cases to gather.

What?

Futons!

It has been a while!

Yes.

- Do you want to separate? - Of course.

By how much?

- Isn't that too far? - What?

Nothing.

- Do you want a beer? - No.

- I won't... - No, thank you.

I've told Chief everything.

What do you mean by everything?

If we break it off right now,

he will pretend nothing has ever happened.

If we choose to keep this relationship,

one of us will be transferred to the countryside.

That was his answer.

- You told him? - So?

Do you want to continue?

Or break up?

I'm fine with either.

Hello, it's Dad.

Of course.

Can you take a bath with Mom?

Yes.

I have work to do, so I will be home very late today.

Okay, see you.

Is it okay to be home late?

My kid is very cute.

I don't want to make her sad.

I know that.

But...

I don't mind being transferred to the countryside.

You should stop drinking.

We're sharing a room.

I won't be able to sleep until I drink.

You're good with alcohol.

Just so you know,

I'm a second-degree black belt holder.

- You're kidding. - Really.

How good is second-degree?

I'm not getting drunk. Why?

I wanted to ask you.

What kind of man is your boyfriend?

I want to meet him.

That might be a bit hard.

- Why? - He's not in Japan often.

What does he do?

He is a fisherman.

A fisherman?

He catches fish in the Eastern China Sea.

Really?

How did you meet him?

I met him on the Internet.

The Internet!

What does he look like?

- Look like? - Yes.

- What does he look like? - He...

His face is like a geta.

- Geta? - He has narrow eyes,

a square chin,

is tanned and muscular.

His teeth are very white...

and really neat.

So that's your type?

We don't always date our ideal types.

You're right. I see.

I like feminine girls,

but I don't usually end up with those girls.

- Right? - I like gentle girls,

but I usually get attracted to quick-tempered and stubborn girls.

- Right? - Flashy girls are the best.

But I always fall in love with the serious types.

- Right? - Yes.

Amamiya,

what do you like about your boyfriend?

It's time for bed. I'm going to take a bath.

Sure.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven!

Maybe I shouldn't have said fisherman.

A fisherman.

It's so cold!

Good evening.

Your baths are incredible.

Thank you.

I'm sorry I could only provide you one room.

If anything happens, I can scream.

You're actually happy, aren't you?

Please don't get the wrong idea.

Kuryu and I are just colleagues.

I have no interest in getting involved with him privately.

You don't have to get so worked up.

- So, do you have one? - What?

A boyfriend.

No.

I see.

I can't do it.

No matter how stubborn they say I am,

I can't date someone...

if the feelings are not truly there.

I'm selfish.

If I don't love my partner...

as much as to prioritize his happiness over mine,

then I don't think I can date him.

His happiness?

It would be great when you're able to feel that way.

Do you find me despicable?

What?

About the affair.

I'm sorry.

Honestly, it's something I would never do.

I too used to think that affairs were despicable.

I never thought I'd fall in love with a married man.

I suppose I acted without thinking.

Don't do it.

You should enjoy your life.

You're an amazing person.

Amazing?

You're putting it behind you...

and starting fresh again.

There aren't many people...

who are like you...

who can put their feelings away...

and testify truthfully.

Thank you for the tea.

I took a bath, but I'm all sweaty again.

Let's drink something.

I see.

So cold!

Why didn't you wake me up?

Good morning.

Let's go back.

All right.

I'll come with you.

What?

I would like to change my testimony.

I see.

Let's go.

("Witch Trials in the Middle Ages, Volume 3")

Egami.

I've finally gathered 700 cases!

What?

The witch trials of Medieval Europe.

Instead of that...

Instead of that?

Do you think...

anything happened between Amamiya and Kuryu last night?

How would I know?

How would I know?

Shibayama, I've got more information!

This is not for kids' ears.

- Actually, Mutou has a fetish... - That's enough.

- What? - No matter how much we try,

we can't win against women.

What are you talking about?

Put that picture back up.

A lie?

Amamiya is too naive to have an affair.

Can I trust you?

Only a mature woman can handle an affair.

I see.

He was apologizing to his wife.

But she said she would show him and took the knife.

I was invisible to them then.

So the one who took the knife was not Mr. Yaguchi,

but his wife, Mikiko.

Yes.

So that's what happened.

Why did you decide to tell the truth?

I...

wanted to experience love...

where I prioritized my partner's happiness...

over mine.

So you really didn't mean to hurt him, right?

You still love him.

Why did you give false testimony?

That's what I still don't get.

- Sir. - Yes?

Which woman do you think is the most unlucky?

The ugly woman?

The abandoned woman?

Which one?

In my opinion,

the most unlucky woman...

is the one who is forgotten.

That's why I lied.

He would never forget the woman...

who put him in jail.

Ms. Kawahara.

You could be charged for committing perjury.

I understand.

All right.

I'll be going.

I don't understand...

what she said at all.

It's impossible to fully understand a person's feelings.

Move.

That's true...

Aren't there things like underground people...

and crop circles?

- What? - Do you want a drink?

- No. - No?

Even though those things are hard to imagine,

they still exist.

It's the same in the world of love.

- For example... - That's enough.

Just listen for a while.

For example,

a woman...

would lie about having a boyfriend...

when she doesn't have one at all.

Sorry?

What did you say?

A tanned fisherman...

with narrow eyes and a face like a geta.

Your boyfriend.

(Amamiya Maiko was arrested)

I'm a paralegal.

A prosecutor's paralegal.

Shut your mouth!

She kept talking about some envelope and its contents.

I'm going!

Why do you have bloodshot eyes?
