Shinno Yosuke Shinno Sayaka
Poor girl.
Losing parents so early...
With her sister like that...
I mean it's so unfortunate.
You're Akari-chan, right?
I'm Hirayasu Mamoru.
I worked with your father.
No, we were--
more like friends.
I know no words can comfort you right now.
But I want you to believe this.
I will definitely catch the culprit.
For you--
and your sister.
I'm really grateful to you.
You are always caring about us.
Not at all.
I am the one grateful to you.
You became a detective just like your father.
I've high expectations from you.
Okay.
75 years old Katsuragi Hanae-san who was hospitalized
in East Kanagawa Memorial Hospital has passed away.
The police have announced that Sakumaki Asami
a nurse in the same hospital
has been arrested on the suspicion of murder.
The police believe that Sakumaki injected a large amount
of air into Katsuragi-san's IV drip and killed her.
But they have not clarified if the charges have been pressed.
This case is getting a lot of attention.
Grim Reaper in White?
Sakumaki Asami-san.
Right before Hanae-san's condition deteriorated,
you who shouldn't have been on duty
can be seen coming out of her room.
And we found your fingerprints
on the empty syringe left behind.
You used that to introduce air--
It's okay.
You don't have to present any more evidence.
It's okay because I did it.
I killed Katsuragi Hanae-san.
What are you doing?
You might not believe me but
I'm drawing your emotions.
Emotions?
Then let me guess what you can see coming from me.
'Happiness', right?
HAPPINESS
Yes.
What are you so happy about?
Because I got to fulfill my dream.
Dream?
I had always wanted to kill someone!
I'm so happy I got to do it!
Sit down!
Okay.
I'm really happy.

You killed because you wanted to.
Was that your motive?
Yes.
And who you killed didn't matter?
That's right.
Yikes.
But why Katsuragi-san?
That is--
she just happened to be there.
You know, like a mountain climber would say--
'Because there was a mountain'.
Don't screw around!
You think--
this will convince the bereaved family?
Then what reason would they like?
That would convince them why their family had to be killed.
Do you think such a reason exists?
Leave it.
Then, tell me about what you did that day.
Sakumaki's confession details are consistent with the evidence.
I'll forward the files to the prosecutor when done.
Please do.
Hitomi-chan, tea.
No it's okay, I'll get it myself.
But she was really creepy.
Feeling happy after killing.
There was a word for such people.
Lust killer?
Yes, that!
Who the victim was didn't matter.
That's just too much.
But did it really not matter?
When you mentioned the bereaved family,
I could see 'anger' coming from her.
Do you think that will convince the bereaved family?
Anger towards the family?
You mean she had some personal grudge?
We don't know that yet.
Katsuragi Hanae-san's family is--
The cooking expert Katsuragi Kanna-sensei.
Right.
She was open about her mother's dementia and treatment.
And there were many housewives that supported this.
I can't forget her
smiling face as she ate
my handmade dishes.
Doesn't seem like someone you could hate.
So, why are you here today?
I can't come?
You don't like such investigations, right?
Always pushing me to the front.
If Sakumaki-san's anger was about
her only family and daughter, Kanna-san,
then I thought I should meet her.
I've brought many candies with me today, so it'll be okay.
That's too many.
Is that all?
No, I have more.
Not candies.
I mean what Sakumaki said earlier.
A reason that would convince them why their family had to be killed.
You think such a reason exists?
Don't you have some personal interest behind this?
Well, either way if you're interested,
I have no choice but to accompany you till the end.
So, you've been living with your mother for a long time now?
Yes, ever since my husband died.
It's embarrassing but I've been single since then.
I don't think it's that rare.
Yes, but most people in my
cooking classes are married.
So, I've been often told that my recipes
won't work well for the normal housewives.
I see.
My mother was my biggest support.
When she began requiring care due to her dementia,
she didn't want to be hospitalized because she wanted to eat my homemade dishes.
And as a result, I made that into my work.
Everything I am right now is all thanks to her.
Is that so?
Shinno!
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
We're sorry.
I'm sorry too.
I still can't believe that she's gone.
So everything is a mess here.
So what is it that you wanted to ask?
Actually--
It's about the suspect Sakumaki Asami.
Excuse me.
What?
Sorry.
Did you have any
argument with her?
It wasn't that big.
So there was?
Yes.
Isn't it hard to guess what goes on inside her mind?
My mother seemed scared of her
so I requested the hospital to get
someone else to take over her care.
Did she kill my mother out of resentment?
We don't know that yet.
I see...
But still...
No matter what her reason was,
I can't forgive her for killing my mother.
This means Sakumaki had a reason to hate
Katsuragi Kanna who found fault with her work.
That's why she displayed anger on mention of the family.
But is this really the case?
Please look at this.
When you mentioned Sakumaki-san,
I saw this color from Kanna-san.
Did she kill my mother out of resentment?
Red? This means--
Anger.
Kanna-san also showed anger
towards Sakumaki-san.
She killed her mother, that's to be expected.
But I didn't see 'sadness'
one shows on losing someone precious.
She shows anger towards Sakumaki who killed her mother
but not sadness about her mother's death.
What could this mean?
What about the hospital?
Five days before the incident,
Sakumaki's co-worker saw them talking.
And there's another thing that other nurses told me about.
The victim Hanae-san would get really frightened
every time her daughter came to visit her.
She will kill me, Kanna will kill me.
Kill her?
Hanae-san had dementia, right?
If I'm not wrong,
amongst its symptoms is irrational paranoia.
You just wanted to kill someone.
Was your motive really just that?
Or were you asked by someone to do so?
That's not true.
What do you intend to do?
Sorry for taking your precious time.
Are you sure?
Wasn't there another person
who wanted to kill Hanae-san?
What do you want to say?
I've heard that Hanae-san suffered from a fracture
after being pushed down the stairs by someone.
And that person was--
her daughter Katsuragi Kanna-san.
Oh it's just that?
What do you mean?
Nothing.
Anyway, I wasn't asked by anyone to kill her.
What does this mean?
You're making it seem like
I asked her to kill my mother!
You didn't?
Of course!
How could I kill my own mother?!
But a few days before the incident,
someone saw you asking
Sakumaki-san to do something.
Everything will be okay.
Really, please I can't--
That time you said 'everything will be okay'.
To Sakumaki-san.
What did that mean?
My mother--
felt better whenever she ate my chocolate mousse.
That is what I meant by 'everything will be okay'
But that nurse would keep saying it was against the rules.
I did everything for my mother.
To be suspected of her murder is so upsetting!
What do you think?
When I asked if someone requested her to kill,
Were you asked by someone to do this?
That's not true.
SURPRISE
I saw 'surprise'.
So you were right.
Probably.
She isn't someone who can kill!
She couldn't have done this!
Okay, we got it.
Please calm down!
She's Sakumaki Asami's mother.
She is an earnest girl.
Please calm down.
Where are you going!?
She is definitely innocent.
Asami is innocent.
Are you okay?
Asami...
Let's talk over there.
Okay?
Come on.
Even if she's a murderer,
she's her only precious daughter.
Must be unbearable.
East Kanagawa Police: Unfair Questioning Towards the Daughter?
Katsuragi Kanna-san Speaks about the Unfair Questioning
I have always kept my mother first.
And yet suspecting me...
Why does she have to tell them everything?
We're getting criticized a lot online.
How they could suspect Kanna-sensei is beyond me
East Kanagawa Police do your work properly
Did they serve her Katsudon?
Our Kanna-sensei would never do that
Really the police are useless
'Police are terrible'
I have bad news.
We have been told to forward Sakumaki Asami to the prosecutor by tomorrow noon.
This case has been getting a lot of attention.
And now it is damaging the image of the police.
The brass wants to settle this as soon as possible.
But--
I know how you feel.
But we have Sakumaki's confession and the evidence.
If you don't find out anything in the last round after this,
you'll just have to give up.
I've already told you everything.
What exactly is it that you want to know?
Your motive for killing Katsuragi Hanae.
Like I've been saying from the beginning,
I just wanted to kill someone.
Your emotions are not saying so.
Emotions.
That can't be used as evidence, right?
No.
Then why does it matter?
No matter what my feelings are about killing,
it's a fact that I killed her.
You--
You're right.
Just like you said,
even if we find the motive, nothing won't change.
It's not like she will come back to life.
No matter what your reason was,
it can never be convincing enough.
But that doesn't mean that anything vague will do.
The bereaved family would at least
want to know the reason their loved one
was killed.
Who cares about that?
I don't care how the bereaved family feels about it.
There's nothing else I have to talk about.
By the way,
your mother came.
She was crying saying that you're innocent.
Is that so?
Then please pass my message to her.
Thank you for everything.
I am glad I got to be your daughter.
Kazehaya-san, please check this.
You did your best. You can go home for today.
Did you check it?
Yes, it's fine, send this.
Onee-chan, tell me.
Is everything I'm doing thinking it's for you,
just for self-satisfaction?
But even if it's just me being selfish,
I don't want to give up.
Just like we used to...
I want to talk to you.
I just want to talk to you.
So,
I'll try once more.
Yes?
I found something interesting about Hanae-san.
But that case has already been--
Are you okay with leaving it this way?
I told you.
If you're interested, I'll accompany you till the end.
Wondering if we overlooked something,
I met with the medical examiner.
And I found this.
Almid
Blood Drug Concentration
Neurotransmitter
Iotol
Neuroreceptor Antagonist
Stoprazole
Proton-pump Inhibitor
Comments of Coroner
Main cause: Air Embolism
This is?
A gastric medicine.
We didn't pay much attention to it because it's not directly related.
This was detected from the body of Hanae-san.
What is so interesting about it?
This medicine was prescribed to her daughter, Katsuragi Kanna.
Everything is a mess here.
Stoprazole
Medicine
Proton-pump Inhibitor
KATSURAGI KANNA
And this medicine is not recommended for the elderly.
And the reason is--
Yes that.
But why would you do that to your own family?
You put too much faith in the word 'family'.
Not all families are bonded by love.
Dad!
You call them a family but they're more like a stranger.
It doesn't go as you want.
So, the investigation--
Does not go as you want?
R E S U M E
Sakumaki Asami
Thank you.
It's 'happiness' right?
Anger towards the bereaved family?
Did someone ask you to do this?
Why would I want to kill my mother?!
Asami is innocent!
Thank you for everything.
I'm glad to be born as your daughter.
Are you okay?
I saw it.
Asami-san's color.
We found out your motive.
You were asked by someone after all.
To kill her.
I already said that's not the case.
Not by Kanna-san, the daughter,
but by the victim Katsuragi Hanae-san herself.
This drug was detected from
Hanae-san's body.
Stoprazole Proton Pump Inhibitor
But this medicine is usually not recommended for the elderly.
Because the side effects include dementia.
You knew that Hanae-san was taking this--
No, you knew that she was made to take this medicine.
She has admitted it.
This is ridiculous.
Why would I cause my mother to suffer from dementia on purpose?
An admirable daughter that cares for her mother with dementia.
To seek attention and
use this as a selling point as a cooking expert.
Were you the one who pushed Hanae-san and caused the fracture too?
Not to kill her
but to make sure that she would need more care.
(caretaker creates fake/real symptoms to make the subject appear ill)
Münchausen syndrome by proxy​.
That's what your psychological condition is called.
However,
this is full-fledged abuse!
Abuse?
No way it is!
All of this! This too! And this!
Everything for her sake! Everything!
Please calm down!
I did it for her!
I did so much for her! Why does no one get it!
The emotion of anger that Kanna-san showed
was not because her mother was killed,
but because she wouldn't be able to
control her anymore.
You knew about this, right?
That's why there was 'anger' when
we talked about the bereaved family.
Do you think this will convince the bereaved family?
A reason that will convince them why their family had to be killed.
Does that even exist?
I guess it can't be helped if you already know.
I found that out by coincidence.
Katsuragi-san, your daughter will be here soon.
No...
Mousse...
I will die...
Please give this to her after she's had her lunch.
Sorry, this is against the rules.
This will do, right?
No, really I can't--
Sorry!
Don't touch!
I asked my pharmacist friend about it.
What that medicine was.
Hanae-san realized this too.
Let's report this to the police.
It's okay.
But--
Rather than that,
could you please kill me?
Some parent-child relations are better ended.
Is that why you introduced air into the IV drip?
Yes.
But my motive remains the same.
I told you that it was a coincidence, right?
It's true that Hanae-san asked me to do it
but it's also true that I wanted to kill someone.
It was just by chance that Hanae-san who wanted to die
and me who wanted to kill came across each other.
It's like a destiny.
Got to thank God.
Not yet.
I found your real motive.
You still haven't mentioned it.
Your real motive.
You still haven't mentioned it.
What do you mean?
Right after you were arrested,
you showed 'happiness'.
I had always wanted to kill someone.
I am glad I got to do it.
Like a lust killer.
But that was the strongest when
you heard that your mother was in pain.
Then please pass this message to her.
I am glad to be born as your daughter.
I found that weird and did some research.
You seem to have received strict parenting by your mother.
If your grades dropped even by a little,
you were made to write a letter of apology.
If you went to the toilet without her permission,
(traditional Japanese way of sitting)
you were made to sit in seiza position for three hours.
And before becoming a nurse,
you took the exam for medical school for many years.
Sakumaki-san,
was it because you really wanted to?
You had an abusive upbringing, right?
The 'happiness' I could see
coming from you was because your mother was sad.
Your real motive for killing Hanae-san.
That was--
to get arrested as a murderer
and get your revenge against your mother.
Why did you need to look all that up?
Some parent-child relationships are better ended.
Please, let me die.
I can't do that.
It's more painful to see your daughter become a criminal
than dying.
It's more painful than death.
This way I would become a psychopath killer.
Why go that far?
There was no need to kill someone.
You want to say cutting all ties with my mother would have been enough?
It's easy for you to say since you don't know this feeling.
She couldn't become a doctor herself because
she got pregnant with me when she was in university.
So she tried to impose that dream on me.
A white coat would look so good on you.
But I--
Asami!
This is for your own sake.
For my sake?
It felt like she was saying 'it's your fault'.
I have the responsibility--
to live the ideal life
my mother wanted but couldn't live.
If not, she'll abandon me.
But no matter how hard I tried,
becoming a doctor was impossible for me.
So I became a nurse instead
and thought that this would satisfy her.
Becoming a nurse isn't good enough.
Anyway, now get married and give birth to a child.
Then we'll make that child a splendid doctor!
But--
Asami, this is for your own sake.
Okay?
This way for my entire life,
she would continue to control me.
When I realized that,
'some parent-child relations are better ended'.
So I killed someone to end it all.
To end this process of living her ideal life.
I was really happy when I heard that she cried.
Like it serves you right!
Will you tell her about this motive?
No, please tell her!
I might just spill it all out now.
When she finds out that her daughter became a killer because of her--
I wonder what her face would look like.
Detective.
I am really happy right now.
Is it true that you forced
your mother to take that medicine?
You were the cause of her dementia, right?
Katsuragi-san, please tell us!
Well, again the society is more interested in this
rather than Sakumaki's motive.
Did you tell her mother the real motive?
No.
Anyway she'll know everything when the trial starts.
Get in.
Not all families are bonded by love?
Don't push yourself too hard.
Shiori-san must be worried too.
Worried?
We can't read her emotions right now.
And you can't see the colors of her emotions either.
But that doesn't necessarily mean she can't feel anything.
So it's Vice Chief Hirayasu after all.
One more thing.
You seem to have adapted pretty well.
No.
It's a good thing.
Keep up and continue like this.
Could you please tell me why I am pursuing Kumokawa?
What exactly happened?
You don't need to know that yet.
But--
Try to understand, Ryo.
Dad!
Try to understand, Ryo.
Kazehaya Ryo is Vice Chief Hirayasu's son.
