EAST KANAGAWA Nakamachi Funeral Home
Akiko,
I still can't believe
that you're gone so soon.
You succeeded the long established
Mochizuki Hospital from your father,
and fought for the pediatric ward
Chief Mourner • Akiko's Husband MOCHIZUKI KEIJIRO
striving for its expansion.
For your contributions to community-based health care,
as a member of the hospital's management
and as your husband,
I'm really proud of you.
Please have some!
Thanks.
You went to hot spring?
Got to use up the paid leave.
You like sweets, right?
You always have candies.
Not always.
Where's Shinno-san?
Shinno?
On paid leave.
Gone to some funeral.
Of some relative?
No.
Of the director of a huge hospital, Mochizuki.
She seems to have helped her 15 years ago.
I wonder if she's okay.
Why?
There will be so many people there.
Kazehaya Ryo is Vice Chief Hirayasu's son.
Everyone, please wait till the funeral procession.
I parked the bicycle in the front.
What?
Bi-bicycle.
Bicycle?
Okay.
Thank you.
My condolences.
Now we will close the casket.
I'm sorry but we don't have much time.
I thought you already took it away
but I seem to have barely made it.
Sorry.
I'd just like to offer the flowers.
Okay.
Thank you.
Akari-chan.
It's tasty.
Let me eat too.
(Doctor)
Sensei, thank you very much.
Stand up.
Nobody move!
Shiota?
Let me go-
What are you doing?
If you move, I'll kill him.
I am serious!
Shiota, why are you doing this?
He's here.
The culprit behind the director's death!
Shiota, what is this about?
Please be quiet!
Mom died from a heart failure.
We've checked the medical certificate.
Everyone here is a doctor, you know.
That's exactly why.
What?
Being the secretary of the director,
I've seen what this family is like.
Since you all are medical personnel,
you could have easily disguised her murder as a heart failure
and changed the medical certificate!
So you're saying someone covered it up?
I am being serious!
Sorry but y'all will have to stay too.
I need witnesses.
Let's do as he says.
If you want any hostage, I can stay.
Please think about the family's feelings.
No!
It'd be meaningless if it's not the Mochizuki family.
What's wrong? Did something happen?
Please open!
How long before the procession?
The casket can not be carried away!
What do you mean?
I won't let anyone leave until we know who the culprit is.
Someone call the police!
Shut up!
What do you mean by
barricading in a funeral home?
No idea.
We'll know when we reach there.
But this funeral home is--
Where Shinno is at.

So, what do you mean by mom being killed?
What makes you think this was a murder?
You all might not have known but
she was really scared about being
killed by someone from her family.
Akiko was?
No way.
She died right after that.
Director's Secretary SHIOTA SUBARU
It's my duty to suspect you all for the director's sake.
And everyone here has a motive.
What's wrong?
Funeral Home Staff ONODERA DAIGO
Do you have something I can draw with?
Here.
Sorry, but it's no use if I can't use the colors.
Colors?
We have some pens there for decoration.
Could you please turn around a little?
Around?
I got it.
What are you doing?
In this world,
there are some people with this
really rare condition named Synesthesia.
I can see emotions of others in colors.
Emotions in colors?
Yes.
This is the color of his emotion.
Blue color represents 'surprise'.
SURPRISE
Surprise?
Yes.
Why is someone who has taken us as hostages,
being surprised?
During the funeral,
he might have found out the culprit.
In that case, he would've named the culprit already.
Indeed.
What are you both doing there?
Actually--
Excuse me,
who is the culprit?
Please tell us if you know.
I don't know that.
So I'll make the culprit confess.
Confess?
Until the culprit confesses,
I won't let anyone leave.
You think that will happen?
You have no evidence.
I have no evidence but--
For example, Fumito-san.
Eldest Son MOCHIZUKI FUMITO
Last year, you were sued by a bereaved family
for covering up medical malpractice.
And the director found out about that.
Malpractice?! What's that?
The director got really angry
and was thinking of removing you from the group.
Even though you're the eldest son?
You messed up bad.
Shut up!
So, that was Fumito-san's motive for
killing Akiko-sensei?
Don't kid me.
Is that wrong?
Obviously!
In that case, Ikuya,
Second Son MOCHIZUKI IKUYA
mom found about your Ginza woman too.
What am I hearing?
That's nonsense.
Ikuya!
Do you even know how much help
you've received from Awako-san's father!
Wait a minute!
In that case, Yachiha-
Eldest Daughter Mochizuki Yachiha
Don't involve me!
Right--
Ouch! Stop moving!
I told you.
Everyone here has a motive.
Shiota-san.
Yes?
The culprit could indeed be one of these.
Yes.
Until the prefectural police arrives, we'll try to grasp what's happening.
Okay.
No demands from the culprit yet?
It seems pretty quiet inside.
What about Shinno?
Can't get through.
Could we not remove these somehow?
I am an ex-policeman.
He's alone so we might be able to do something.
Is that so?
But let's prioritize everyone's safety first.
And Shiota-san doesn't seem in a mood to attack.
You're right.
I'll talk with him.
Shiota-san.
Actually, I am in the police.
I am Shinno Akari from East Kanagawa Station's
First Investigation Division.
Detective?
Why didn't you say so?
Do something!
Sorry, but I am tied up too.
If Akiko-sensei was murdered,
then I'd like to catch the culprit too.
And so would everyone else here, right?
If she was really killed.
In the first place,
why barricade us here in the funeral home?
If you wanted to expose the culprit,
you could have done it somewhere else.
That's right.
It's not like doing all this
will bring mom back.
She'll be rather sad seeing you do this.
I think--
she'll be happy actually.
If seen from outside,
the Mochizuki household seems to be a perfect family.
But the truth is, you all fight like cats and dogs.
And there's rarely an occasion when you gather.
You are here together for the funeral.
Before the body is taken for cremation,
right before the director,
I'll expose all of your evil secrets.
This is the only chance I have.
Is that reason too weird?
Thank you.
Kumokawa-san.
From what we know of the situation before the barricading
and the voices coming from inside,
the culprit seems to be 34-year-old Shiota Subaru.
According to hospital workers who attended,
Shiota became the director's secretary last year
and seemed to have gotten pretty close to her.
The motive could be his personal relationship with her.
His father seems to be his only blood relative
but we don't know his contact details.
There weren't many people who knew about him
so they might not be on good terms.
Inform the head office just in case.
He could help us in persuasion.
Understood.
What emotions are that yellow and pea green for?
Yellow is for 'happiness'
and pea green is for 'trust'.
Happiness and trust?
But when these two mix, it gives us another emotion.
Another emotion?
And that is love.
LOVE
Love?
Yes.
I can see 'love' coming from him.
What's that? Love from Shiota?
How should I say it--
That's obvious.
Shiota, you had an affair with mom, right?
But it's just Shinno-san who saw the love--
That's true.
Me and the director were in that kind of relationship.
Shiota--
You--
I am really sorry.
But if you're going to put all blame on me alone,
that's just barking up the wrong tree.
You all are also responsible if the director
ran towards me.
You all were only interested in the management rights of the hospital.
You were only eyeing her fortune!
I just filled up that void in her heart.
Know your place!
You must have deceived her!
You swindler!
Say what you want to say.
But it won't change the fact that she was lonely.
Don't kid!
Everyone, please calm down.
We're right in front of the deceased.
And this might be intrusive but
is there a way to check the director's last wishes?
Let's open her will.
You have it, right?
Yes, but how do you know?
Lawyer KANEI MASAHIKO
The mention of you all being
interested in her fortune reminded me.
During the funeral,
everyone's gazes were fixed on you.
You were in a funeral
but were carrying a suitcase.
Something really important must be inside it.
You planned to open it after the cremation?
Yes.
But we don't have to check it here.
No--
let's open it.
Everyone was curious about its contents.
It's not what we planned
but let's open it here.
The prefectural police can't come?
A tunnel nearby collapsed.
They will come, but it'll take time.
Please let me go.
I'll find a way to get inside.
Welcome back, sensei.
Isn't this the funeral home you went to?
Everyone please move back!
Please move back a little more!
Sorry, we're investigating it right now.
What does the will say?
Half of it.
Half of her fortune goes to Shiota.
Could you please show it to me?
Here.
Is this really Akiko-sensei's handwriting?
It is.
Please take a seat.
This was to be expected.
I knew her feelings.
Don't joke around!
That's invalid!
No, this was the director's wish.
No way mom would write that!
Yes!
You forced her to write this!
What's so funny?
How can you even prove
that I made her write this?
That is--
I think the chances of that are very low.
When Shiota-san saw the will
he showed the color of 'surprise'.
Which means he didn't know what was written.
Color of surprise?
You might not believe me
but I can see the color of emotions.
But Keijiro-san,
you know why
Akiko-san did this, right?
You suggested opening the will
and I saw the color of 'regret' from you.
It's not what we planned
but let's open it here.
Regret?
And when you found out what the will had,
that changed into 'peace'.
Is this really Akiko-sensei's handwriting?
You had probably already guessed what the will was.
Thinking of the past, you felt regret.
But when you heard that it had Shiota-san's name in it,
you felt relieved.
He will be taking half of the fortune,
how can you be relieved?
Unless we know Akiko-san's real feelings,
this can't be explained.
What happened in Akiko-sensei's past?
What is all this about?
I indeed have an idea about why my wife did so.
It's regarding her and Shiota's relationship.
An affair, right?
He already told--
No!
They were not having an affair.
You are--
Akiko's son, right?
You are--
Akiko's son, right?
Does that mean--
An illegitimate child?
So you knew.
Soon after our marriage,
she told me herself.
35 Years Ago
Before we came to know about each other,
she met another man.
But in the end, she broke up with him
and chose to be with me.
Not finding them to be a good match,
her parents were against them.
But that's also because
their hospital was not doing well
and they turned to my family for help.
Right before our marriage,
Akiko gave birth to a son.
That man received money from her parents,
snatched her son away and vanished.
More than 30 years later,
you appeared.
This is Shiota Subaru who will be joining as an office staff.
I think Akiko realized right away.
That you were her son.
Akiko always felt
guilty for abandoning her son
and didn't try to find out your whereabouts.
But when you came to meet her,
she finally got the chance to love you like a son.
And you knew about that?
More or less.
I knew that she was worried about her son.
And you know what our children are like.
What do you mean?
It's just like Shiota said.
For you, your mother was nothing more than a wallet.
In that case,
it's okay if Akiko wants to atone
for what she did to her first child like this.
I feel that way.
I know it must have been hard for your father.
But it's admirable.
How he raised you all alone.
Akiko must have felt the same.
That's why I saw the color of 'regret' when you saw the will.
What do you mean?
While Akiko-sensei was alive,
he couldn't do anything for her, Shiota-san and his father.
He felt regret thinking about that.
I am regretting it?
Maybe, yes.
So, Shiota is our older brother?
You said you saw love coming from him, right?
Yes.
There's only one person he could have loved in this situation.
Mom?
If you loved her,
why did you do all this?
Don't be ridiculous!
Certainly, she is my mother.
But at the same time,
she betrayed my father and abandoned me!
No way I could love her!
I rather hate her for what she did!
She ruined our life!
It's all her fault!
And this Mochizuki family's as well!
Did you kill her--
Is that why you became her secretary?
Exactly.
I killed the director, for my revenge!
Director, now I am ruining your funeral as well.
All to dishonor you!
And--
I hate you for snatching away my father's lover.
And so I will kill you here and then kill myself.
Stop!
I don't think it's true!
I don't think you killed Akiko-sensei
and are ruining her funeral on purpose.
What are you saying?
The funeral has stopped because
of him and he has confessed!
Yes, but at the same time he is surprised.
When he took us as hostages,
I saw the color of 'surprise'.
And since then he has continued to display 'surprise'.
That's because the developments
that have been taking place are unexpected for him too.
In other words, he did not plan all this before hand.
He must have done this due to
some unexpected situation.
Shiota-san, could you please tell us?
Shut up!
What's this?
Hands up!
Drop that cutter!
Kazehaya-san, why--
There was no other way.
No, I mean where's the prefectural police?
They'll be late due to a tunnel collapse nearby.
Tunnel collapse?
Shiota Subaru,
I arrest you red-handed for illegal confinement.
Kazehaya-san, please wait!
Give me some time.
Are you going to do it here?
Okay.
Kitamura, please.
Yes, sir.
You can't take the body away!
The culprit who killed the director is among us!
You were having an affair with her, right?
Yes, we were in that relationship.
I only have this chance.
Is that reason too weird?
You are Akiko's son, right?
Let's check the will.
Let's open it here.
Half of her fortune goes to Shiota.
This is my revenge!
They are late because of a tunnel collapse.
I saw it.
The color of Shiota-san.
Everyone, we can't carry
Akiko-sensei's body yet.
Please move back!
Shiota-san, Akiko-sensei's reason of death
is heart failure like everyone knows, right?
Yes.
What do you mean?
Weren't you the one who caused the uproar saying she was killed?
You just wanted to let someone meet Akiko-sensei.
Is that right?
Yes.
And who's that?
That is--
Sorry for making you wait!
That is?
Kogure Mitsuru-san,
Akiko-san's lover before
and Shiota-san's father.
What's that injury?
He got trapped in the tunnel collapse incident.
Tunnel collapse?
This is why the barricading happened.
I heard the story on the way from the hospital.
They had a painful break up but
Kogure-san could not
forget Akiko-san.
Didn't he take the son away for money?
That's just a misunderstanding!
He didn't get any money.
And you noticed his feelings, right?
Yes.
You by my side, with you always by my side...
One day, I happened to see it.
I am Shiota, looking forward to--
I got near her as a secretary.
So that I could bring
them together somehow.
But she passed away suddenly.
I couldn't let them meet
while she was alive.
So he tried to have them meet
at the final place they could.
That's when the tunnel collapsed
and his father got trapped.
When he informed me, I panicked.
A tunnel collapsed and I was there. Going to the hospital. Giving up on Akiko-san
And on a whim,
he took us as hostages to delay the procession.
Then,
exposing the family's secrets
and saying that you were having an affair was--
All to buy time.
So that his father could meet Akiko-san.
The 'surprise' I saw coming from you,
was from when you first learned about the accident in the tunnel.
The culprit who killed the director is among us!
When secrets even you didn't know about were revealed,
and as this case went in an unexpected direction,
you showed the color of 'surprise'.
And the 'love' was
for your father.
I will expose all the evil secrets of the Mochizuki family!
This is the only chance I have.
Is this reason too weird?
We finally meet, Akiko.
We'll turn him over to the prefectural police.
Okay.
Please relax.
As per the family's request,
you'll only face some simple interrogation.
Okay.
It's a wonderful thought
to exert yourself for someone precious.
But before that--
I want to know what your emotions are.
I need to know your real emotions!
What the color of your murderous urge is!
Please don't forget to value your own emotions.
Okay.
Let's go.
The will is most likely going to be invalid now.
Since 'Shiota' is a false name.
But I wonder why the director wrote it like that.
If she knew he was his son,
then she must have known it was a false name.
Certainly.
Maybe she wanted him to admit it.
Admit?
Maybe she wanted Shiota-san to
come forward himself and admit that he was her son.
If she wrote this false name, he would come ahead,
or it'd be revealed anyway.
By the way, how did you both come here?
Like usual, in the station's car.
We weren't affected by the tunnel incident.
Could you--
let me ride back with you?
I feel too tired to go back by bicycle.
You came by a bicycle? To a funeral?!
Yes, because I can't take public transport.
Here.
May I?
Good work today.
You took it from her desk?
No! I bought it myself.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
I found that guy you asked about.
Really?
He keeps on changing his jobs.
Right now, he's working in a funeral home.
Funeral home?
He seems to be in Nakamachi's funeral home right now.
You haven't heard?
A hostage incident took place there today.
Sorry to worry you.
I was shocked!
You said you were going to be late so I knew you'd get involved.
I am okay now.
So, you were able to say your goodbyes, right?
Yes.
But--
I forgot to thank her for introducing you--
No, that's okay.
She definitely wouldn't mind that either.
I'll bring the car then.
Thanks.
Kazehaya-san, where's Shinno-san?
She was right here--
I heard from her. So, you were in the police too?
That was a long time ago.
Must have been hard, being with Shinno.
Not at all.
Shinno-san is brilliant, complete opposite of me.
Onodera-san.
The pens I used--
I returned them back to their place.
Thank you very much for today, Shinno-san.
Thank you, too.
Looked for you everywhere, Onodera.
Kumokawa?
Shinno?
What's wrong?!
Why did you quit suddenly that time?
Where have you been for these past years?
And why are you still meeting Vice Chief Hirayasu?
One of the bereaved family members sustained a minor injury.
No loss of life.
He was taken into custody safely.
As of now, we don't know the motive.
Answer me.
Onodera!
I have preparations to make for the procession.
Shinno! Wait!
What happened suddenly?
I saw Onodera-san's eyes.
I remember seeing them before!
He's the one who killed my parents 15 years ago!
Don't come!
Onee-chan! Onee-chan!
Onee-chan!
